On a more interesting not, our local Wal-Mart was witness to a robbery of its bank inside:

UPDATE: Robbery at Woodforest National Bank located in the Wal-Mart on East Stuart Drive

A spokesperson for Galax Police Chief Rick Clark advised that on August 4, 2010 shortly after 2:00 P.M. that Galax Police responded to a reported armed robbery at the Woodforest National Bank located in the Wal-Mart store located on East Stuart Drive in Galax.

Employees of the bank told responding officers that a W/F approached the tellers and produced a robbery note. The note alleged that there was a second suspect who was armed and would start shooting if they did not comply. The suspect was given the amount of money specified in the note.

The female suspect is described as:

White
5’4”
Blonde hair
Scar on left arm
Slender build 140-150 lbs

At the time of the robbery the suspect had her hair pulled up into a black ball cap, she is seen exiting the store after having removed the cap. Her hair in that photo is described as blonde and long pulled into a pony tail.

Police have not verified that a second suspect is involved.

Anyone who thinks that they may have seen the suspect is asked to contact Galax Police 276-236-8101.

Hopping Vampires?

So, The Boy has introduced me to these movies made in China (think it was China) that feature vampires and lots of interesting fight scenes.  However these odd vampires hop, and act & look more like zombies than vampires.  Very strange, but extremely interesting.  The first movie he made me watch was called Mr. Vampire.  Only thing frustrating about the movies, is that you have to read the whole time, (subtitles in english, sound not) and that takes away from watching the film.  But if you are in the mood for something quirky, different, and "scary" take a shot at some of those films.  You should at least see one, just to say you've seen a vampire that hops like a bunny...

So it poured, I mean POURED

Me and, well lets call him The Boy, went out last night.  We had originally planned on going to Red Hill General Store and watching the free drive in movie that they were going to play (it was a John Wayne flick) but it looked like rain, so we headed down the mountain to enjoy ourselves in Mayberry.  Well, seriously, Mayberry was packed, we wanted to eat at this snazzy little Italian restaurant called Gondola's.  But we couldn't even get in the parking lot.  So we ate at Kyoto's By the Lake instead.  I often wonder about the name of that place as there is no lake there, but while we were eating, it started to rain.

Now, when I say it started to rain, I mean it was as if the heaven's had ripped open and just decided to dump an entire ocean upon our heads.  When we went to leave Kyoto's I understood the By the Lake part, the parking lot, was almost a literal lake after all this rain.  Flip-flop's were a BAD idea.  So The Boy was very chivalrous and got the car and pulled it around so I wouldn't get completely soaked (awww).  Then we headed off to the movies....

....only to find that our movie wasn't going to play until 10:00 which was just too late for us.  So, we went to Game Stop and The Boy spoiled me with a game for my DSi which is sweet and not fair at the same time, as he is borrowing my DSi at the moment, and now I have a game but no console.  *pouts*  But I am looking forward to playing Professor Layton when I get a chance.

Then we went and saw "Leigha" at the local Movie Rental place down there, and I discovered that they now have books too.  And we know that I have a weakness for books, so now I own an interesting Mary Poppins book (love love love Mary Poppins) and I got it for a good price.  Which always makes me smile.  The Boy bought 5 movies for $20.  And we got some popcorn, came home, and watched 2 of said 5 movies.  Sunshine Cleaners & The Goods.  Both wonderful movies, I recommend them highly.
