It's been a long night in Corpus Christi



First of all, I'm sorry I fell off the blog scene for such a long time, work and school seemed to consume me for some time. I also recently bought an xbox and let modern warfare rule my free time. But I'm back to tell you thanks for being a fan and even if you don't hear from me for a while I will never be too far away!
Over the weekend Brad and I went to Galaxy Golf. My first thoughts before we found the place, which is located upstairs in Sunrise Mall, was how cool could this place be? Sunrise is a waste land. But we decided to try it out anyway. We walk in, and its dark, black lights line everything and pretty neon stars and plants hang from the walls and ceilings. 7 dollars for adult tickets which is cheaper than Treasure Island. Galaxy Golf actually reminds me of the more sinister Treasure Island. We begin at the first hole, which is just basically a straight shot and I'm a bit disappointed, but then we progress into the next room and the holes are out of this world. (ha) There are rocket ships blocking my way, and aliens trying to swat my ball out of the hole. Everything is neon and glowing even my hot pink ball. There are space stations and most of the holes have moving obstacles, new to the putt-putt scene of Corpus Christi. The best part about it, was Brad and I were alone for about 17 of the 18 holes, then when we were done putting the lady at the counter let us play pool on the glow in the dark pool table. For fourteen dollars the experience was definitely worth it.

Overall I give it 5 cheers for a sweet idea for a secret date. Also it has great location

I also saw Hot Tub Time Machine with my brother Marco, and we were both cracking up. This isn't a movie for young kids, I don't even think they would understand half of the jokes, but for the older crowd, especially if you lived in the 80's and thought it sucked, watch it. Go to Starplex though because I wouldn't pay 7.50 for a ticket to see that movie. It was mostly moments where you find your self saying "omg I can't believe they just went there"

Overall I give HTTM a score of 2 cheers for passing the time and making me laugh.
