Various Updates
Hello people! I have had the most oddly adventurous weekend. It started by going to see The Dark Knight at an iMAX on Friday night. It was Darren (one of the other Enzi interns)’s last night in town, and we all bought the tickets way in advance. The movie was about 10 times cooler than I thought it would be. I am not a big Batman fan, but Heath Ledger’s Joker lived up to the hype. It was extremely dark and scary, and was even more so on the huge screen (and yes, Roxanne, I do like dark movies!). On Saturday, I went to the Crime and Punishment museum (which was kind of boring…it was like the poor man’s Newseum) with a couple other interns. It had almost all interactive exhibits, which I don’t really like. I prefer to just look at things, I don't feel the need to touch them. I'd rather look at historical things you could get in trouble for touching. I skipped through and went out to Virginia to meet up with another intern buddy, Amber. We ended up going to go play soccer (which I totally suck at). I thought it would be an informal game where I could learn soccer a little better, but it ended up being all these African/Middle Eastern guys who have been playing soccer since they could walk. I ended up sitting on the sidelines talking on my phone to Matt and my mom for most of it. Afterwards, though, I got cleaned up and we went out to dinner until way late. On Sunday, I spent the whole day moving. For some reason, I have to stay in DC until August 23rd, even though all the other interns go home by the 10th, which is when my housing contract expires. So, I had to find a new place to live for two weeks. I managed to find an apartment only a couple metro stops away from work. I get my own room, have a couple cool roommates, and live with a sweet dog named Honey. It made me feel a little sad and weird to be packing and moving, but not getting to go home. I only have less than two weeks though! So, the next couple weeks might be a wee bit boring, but I will keep you all posted on any further developments!

Hey Moll!
Jeff is at Grandpa's cabin or you know he would comment right away!
Good post..glad you are semi-settled for a couple weeks. Fingers crossed that you hear something SOON.
Next post need some photos...
Love you,
Mom
Hi Molly,
The mental image of you playing soccer makes me laugh. :-)
I miss you!
Yes, your Mom is correct we got back yesterday. Justine was happy about fishing the 4 days there the lake was freshly stocked on Monday she caught 15 fish, we through them back of course. She had to make sure she stayed ahead of Grandpa.
I think if your Mom was not so against soccer you would have learned at a younger age :) In her defense I can't get Justine interested in it!!
So Dark night was that good? What makes it so great? I am having trouble getting motivated to see it. I did see Wall-E, now that is a scary movie!
You need to write a new blog!
Jeff-
Its hard to explain what makes it a good movie. It was definitely enhanced by seeing on an iMax, though. I think because it was so scary, the effects were great, and Heath Ledger's performance was awesome. Christian Bale is kind of an idiot, but other than that, I'd recommend it. Oh, and I saw Wall-e! I loved it.
