Busy day

Quite an eventfull day. Wife and I went to a Garden Fair at the local arboretum. Lots of vendors selling plants, and other outdoors garden crap. Lots of the same shit in a lot of stalls. I took a lot of pix, but 3/4 of the way thru the day, my camera came up with a disk format error. D'oh oh. It wouldn't recognize the card that's been in there for months. Thankfully, my camera has a built in memory, but I'm not sure if I can recover the pix from that card. I'm going to Walgreens and trying their card reader machine to print files. If not, I'm gonna try re-formatting the card. I hope the card itself isn't trash. I'll post my pix to the flickr site soon.
When we got home, we found our Pirates DVD in the mailbox. Yippeee. Well, it's above average porn, but still porn. Lots of repetetive sex scenes. Amazing disappearing clothes (two people are kissing and rolling around, then, *poof* they're naked). Costumes were above average. Dialog and acting, typical porn: stilted and contrived. Story was kind of convoluted, and also conveniently lifted from other pirate movies. An interesting blend of action and comedy. The effects were way above average. Lots of CG work, most of it not too noticeable. One of the big distractions was the three lead actresses. They all had long blond hair, vapid expressions, and inflated bubble-boobs (really funny to watch them 'jiggle', not like a bowlfull of jelly, but a jello mold glued to their chests). The only interesting distinction was the actress "Janine" who had some really cool tattoos (that really had to hurt getting one there. It looked like Latin.)! Only one set of natural boobs in the whole movie. The most redeeming feature was the bonus disk, the out-takes and behind the scenes stuff. Seeing how these girls (and guys) behave between takes, wandering around naked in the green room. Most came across as normal people, except for Jesse Jane, the 'lead actress'. Either she really is this way, or she couldn't drop her 'personna', but she came across as a sex-starved bimbo.
After the heat of the day had passed, wife and I went into the garden to tackle the monster wild rose that's taking over the back garden. I got about half of it cut back and pulled out. Now I get to figure out what to do with a 5' pile of VERY thorny canes about 6' long. Pixs up soon on flickr.
