Hi, Bob,
Do you care what I think about how you spend your vacation time??!
The fact is, weeks go by without me watching TV or going to a movie,
so catching a flick while cruising was definitely a "get away from
everyday things" for me. I had not seen many of the movies nominated
for Academy Awards this season...so I was thrilled to see Michael
Clayton, for example. I had also missed the movie Kite Runner, a
favorite book of mine, so I thoroughly enjoyed watching it during my
vacation. My sole purpose in commenting about the movies was to
emphasize the good, "new release" selection Princess offered.
Another factor influencing me to watch movies was, we've had the
opportunity to cruise a fair amount. After so many cruises, the
newness wears off, and you don't feel like you must "do it all/try it
all" to get the full value of your cruise vacation. Indeed, one
express purpose of this particular cruise was to get some much-needed
R 'n R from our go-go-go everyday life.
Finally, the weather was crummy most of our cruise week. I had to be
inside a lot. I don't like art auctions or bingo. I'm not sure what
YOU think I should have more appropriately been doing, but I loved
being able to spend some time watching movies.
So, no, I don't care what you think about how I spent my vacation
time.
And oh yeah, I looked at your Usenet posting history, Bob. You are an
interesting fellow. In fact, under the strictest definitions of
"troll," you qualify, and we are idiots to reply to you. Congrats!
Have a great weekend,
