I just got my newest subscription to EW in the mail yesterday which is the summer movie double issue.  i&#8217;ve already marked my calendar (yes I&#8217;m that anal that I have a specific color on my calendar for media related stuff) for the release dates of those I&#8217;m interested in.  There&#8217;s nothing THAT great coming out this summer.  I&#8217;m interested in seeing how Star Wars turns out as well as the new Batman and Skeleton Key OF COURSE but other than that there&#8217;s not much.  Some of the stuff looks decent but I wonder if it&#8217;s worth the time or money invested to go to the theater to see it.  Wal-Mart is already getting my $13.68 a month, I should just get my moneys&#8217; worth there.  <\/p>\n<p>i finally ended up using my Amazon gift certificates from my birthday and Christmas.  I decided not to spend it on music for obvious reasons.  Or movies because we buy those anyway.  Honestly, I&#8217;m running out of movies to buy.  Books are out because I can go to the library cause it&#8217;s not like I&#8217;m ever gonna read the same book again.  So I finally decided on a magazine subscription and make-up &#8211; not interesting but i&#8217;m excited about my buys.  <\/p>\n<p>To those living in the D.C. area: AVOID CHESAPEAKE SEAFOOD HOUSE AT ALL COSTS.  We went down there for the all-you-can-eat seafood of equal or lesser value and were shocked at the very ethnic crowd gathered.  We should have known by the lack of newer foreign cars that this wasn&#8217;t our type of place.  The crowd was spilling on to the sidewalk and into the rain.  There were SO many people in there I actually had to say &#8216;excuse me&#8217; to get to the hostess &#8211; who wasn&#8217;t paying attention to anyone, neither was the other hostess nor the manager.  The people beside me had already been waiting for 45 minutes and had complained of a bad experience the last time they were there, plus people were rubbing up against me.  <\/p>\n<p>Shudder, I was still shaking off the disgustingness of the close proximity to strangers that after 5 minutes of waiting we bailed and headed to Olive Garden &#8211; which turned out not being much better.  Disenchanted and still squeamish from the gropings we headed to Wendys for some fries and a Diet Coke to hold us over.  This took FOREVER too and there was only 1 person in front of us, then the lady working the drive-thru must REALLY love her job because she was SO rude to us.  (I&#8217;m extra nice to fast food workers because I worked it for 2 years and it SUCKED so what&#8217;s with the hostility.)  <\/p>\n<p>Once we finally got back on 95 with our cold fries, there was horrible traffic &#8211; it was NOT like the lights of a thousand fairies.  People were slamming on their brakes and then braking after they got back up to speed again.  It took us an hour an a half to go to Woodbrige for all that drama and then get back and go 2 miles from home to finally end up at Red Lobster (Casey was craving clams and I wanted shrimp).  We knew we didn&#8217;t like Red Lobster, yet we decided to give it another try.  Why oh why did we pass up the crab house a block back to go to this place.  These places out here need letter ratings for cleanliness (last night at Chili&#8217;s an ant was crawling across our table &#8211; ew).  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I guess I should have added &#8216;summer blockbuster&#8217; to the poll because of the lack of anything good right now.
