Isn't that (above) weird? Weird but true.

Monsters and Aliens
The Demay clan took in our first drive-in movie of the year last weekend, and saw Monsters and Aliens. (You know it's finally Spring when the Transit Drive-In opens again!) It was a fun movie, but the story-telling wasn't in the same class as The Incredibles or Finding Nemo. Still, it was fun to watch with the kids, who really thought the Blob character was funny. I like anything with Reese Witherspoon, so I'm biased.

Side note: if you’re an Office fan, you may be interested to know that the voice of the chief alien Gallaxhar is none other than Dwight Schrute, Rainn Wilson (left).

So, if you're looking for an entertaining movie to take your children to see, 4 thumbs up from the Demays.

Twitter
I'm not sure if I like Twitter yet, but it's early. I just set Star 102.5 up with an account, and it's a little like "OK, now what?" But I think the immediacy of it is a cool thing. Usually you have to have a reason to change something on the station website, for example, but with Twitter, you can just send a "Happy Birthday to Brian" note and it's out there, and that's that. One more social networking tool to keep track of...
