Saturday 8-27-05

Saturday, Mark has gone to Great America with some friends, and Amy is at Samantha's so all is quiet here.
Last night we watched Layer Cake a violent & crime film from England. It was pretty good.


I did a kind of comedy song this week. It's the top one on the list right now, Basket Case, it's a Green Day song but I did it as a kind of Latin, Lounge, Swing style.

Basket Case

Mark's soccer starts on Tuesday, it's 11 a side for the first time and, once again, I'm the coach.

Sunday August 21st 2005

Well it's nearly the end of the weekend. One more week before Mark and Amy go back to school.

This weekend Stella's friend Kimberly went away and asked her to look after her pets. She also let us use her pool so that's where Mark and Amy have been a lot.

Friday we watched Sin City, which was weird but still entertaining. Saturday it was Wedding Date (a Stella romance) which was OK but nothing special.

There's a couple of new songs up on my song site including a cover of a Deep Purple song where the guy who did the music was amazing.
Tony's Songs

Oh yeah and one of the hard drive's on my PC failed which included the last 2 years of photo's. I have been taking backups but when I tried to use one it wouldn't work so I've spent hours trying to recover the files with various software tools.

The Weekend

Went to Paramount Great America again on Saturday evening (we show up at 5pm when things are winding down). Later that night watched Spartan on the TV, a spy movie with Val Kilmer.

Sunday Mark and I went out and about and went for lunch, while Stella and Amy went to the mall.

A slow weekend in paradise !

Check it out

Check out this movie, it might take a moment or two to download

Friday night we watched Shall We Dance It was not at all what I expected. It was a romantic film but it a lot more to it and you could not figure out what was going to happen right up until the end. It used a Peter Gabriel song called The Book of Love that I had never heard before and it used it at a key moment that was really well done. I would give it 9/10, Stella would probably give it a 10.

A Report for the week

Amy returned to swimming lessons Wednesday with a different teacher.

Mark found that another of his friends, Tyler, is moving away so that's three in a row (Theo, Chris, & Tyler).

The week has mainly be spent swimming and today (Friday) going to Bonafonte Gardens.

We watched Wayne's World, for Mark's benefit on Thursday night.

Amy nearly drowns

After passing her last class Amy started her next level of swimming. The teacher left her in the middle of the deep pool and she was in the process of drowning, the teacher completely ignored her. She eventually got to the side but Stella reports it was "really bad" and has now pulled Amy out of the class.

3 weeks now until school starts.

Wednesday and Thursday, Mark's friend Theo, who is moving back to Scotland on Sunday, stayed over. First night they watched Revenge of the Nerds 3, second night Billy Madison.

Friday, Stella, Mark and Amy went to Bonfante Gardens Theme Parkfor a couple of hours.

Friday night we watched Hide and Seek with Robert De Niro, a spooky style mystery/thriller. I'd give it 6/10.

A slow week in paradise

Nothing much happening again. I watched Constantine on Sunday (Stella went to the movies to see Must Love Dogs). Constantine was ok, maybe 7/10.

Monday was work for me, home for everyone else.

Not a lot happening this week apart from Mark whining and throwing fits about his hair. He won't brush it and when he does it hurts and he acts like a 2 year old.
