Well, I finally got a hold of the pictures from the day I went to the manhole . :)
In case you aren't sure, I'm the girl ;) The tall, young looking guy is my fellow intern, Chris, and the mustachioed guy in both pics is Vinnie, my boss. The other man who is in only one of the pictures is John, a chemical engineer that I also work with.
In other news, I've seen 2 movies this weekend. (I must seem like a movie maniac!) I went with my younger sister and her friends (oh man, I'm so cool) to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Friday night. I don't know if it's better or worse than the original movie, just different. I enjoyed it a lot. Really entertaining. I especially liked the one scene where they show a reference to Edward Scissorhands. I thought that was pretty clever, seeing as it's another movie with Tim Burton directing and Johnny Depp as the star. But I digress. There are plenty of good parts to the movie, and one improvement is that the songs in this version use the lyrics originally written by Roald Dahl (the poems that were in the book). So, overall, I liked it!
The other movie I watched this weekend was Manna from Heaven. It was so fun and heartwarming. And the thing I think my family and I liked the best about the movie was that it was set in Buffalo, NY, the city that my sisters and I grew up in. It was so much fun to see all the different places that we could recognize. Plus, the movie was an independent film made by 5 sisters, and because it was independent, the ending credits thanked all the different people and organizations that helped them. We recognized some of those names too! So, the movie is cute, and fun to watch, but it's especially fun for people from Buffalo.
Well, that's all for now!
