Sunburn, funburn!

I had a great time in South Carolina and Florida, but unfortunatly I spent a little too long in the FL ocean with just a little too little sunscreen and the last few days back have been very painful.

It's mainly in my shoulders, with less on my nose, knees and chest. The pain and stiffness seems to be going away, but the color isn't. I feel like such an idiot, I put on a tiny amount and basiclly said "sunburn, shumnburn! It won't happen to me". It really sucks when some common sense could have prevented this, something I pride myself on having.

If I could go back now, I'd cover myself in 100 gallons of the stuff.

Okay movie review time! 6th movie of my unintentional series, today's movie is a 2005 tv movie called Amber Frey: Witness for the Prosecution! Kind of an obscure choice, but haven't all of these movies been? It's by far the most controversial, serious movie I've reviewed. I watched today on Lifetime Movie Network (LMN for those in the know) and was impressed. We all remember the Scott Peterson/Laci Peterson/Amber Frey saga as it played out in the media a few years back

I was very intersted as this story played out, did this seemingly normal man kill his beautiful wife and their unborn child? The movie was very well done and it was respectful of all the people it portrayed. I learned alot more about the scandal then I knew, and I am convinced he did kill her. The actress Janel Moloney, who some of you may know as Donna Moss from The West Wing, portrayed Amber, in stunning brillance I thought. Her physical appearence is very close to Amber's, which may have been partial reason for the casting. The man who played Scott (Nathan Anderson) looked very similar to Scott. Unforutnatly, his acting was sub-par, he kept the character believable but didn't make it very three-dementional. All together, the film was a riviting account of just what happened in this love-triangle and it handled it with the dignity and respect that is deserved for this kind of telling and I recommend it to anyone who recalls what happened.

It was based on Amber's book of the same title, something I'm going to hunt around bookstores for.

Somehow, Scott still sits on death row today, appealing his sentence for execution. That's America for ya, folks.

Okay, to change tunes somewhat awkwardly here, Olympic time!

I watched from opening ceremonies to closing and I was riveted. The opening ceremonies were amazing, by the way. The games were very enjoyable, especially following Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt.

As you can see, one's a little more humble than the other, but both athletes amazed me and everybody. From swimming to cycling to sports I've never watched before in my life, the Olympics shocked and awed me and kept me glued to my set. NBC did a good job presenting it, I don't think this is the forum to discuss China's controversy, it's about the games and putting our problems aside for two weeks.

Until next time,

David :)
