Wow, what a weekend. World Series, visiting friends, horizontal curves, movies, and oh so much more, I don't even know where to begin.

First, I'd like to thank the OnederBoy for making drinking and playing Super Mario World the most fun it has been in a long time. 96 worlds, baby, 96 worlds. Have a safe drive, mon ami.

I would also like to review the following movies I saw:
My Big Fat Greek Wedding - my god, the cleavage. Overall, it was a funny movie, with lots of funny little jokes about all of life's and romance's little foibles. That's right, foibles. Otherwise, I'm not sure if it has earned the critical acclaim that it deserves, and if it has it is more a reflection of the movies that have come in recent history. We're just all suprised we actually enjoyed a movie not containing serial killers, huge explosions, or hobbits/wizards.

Le Pacte de Loups (aka The Brotherhood of the Wolf) - The best I can figure is this was two movies in one. The first part was slow, somewhat romantic, somewhat whimsical, and mostly blasse. Then, it got good. Not great, but cool. However, there should be a limit on how many people critical to the plot can come back to life after being killed.

DogTown and Z-Boys - Informative to say the least. There is something that makes it great that it only mentions the X-Games once, and you only see Tony Hawk as an idolizer of skateboarding genius. There is something that makes it bad because the "culture" of skateborading has not reached a point where it has taken over everything or the point where it has vanaished, and therefore doesn't really need a documentary made on it. But there was a lot of cool moves and a lot of cool hair and a lot of cool people. Makes me want to start a scene.

I would also like to review the following books I read:
Watership Down - well, I can't imagine that the movie was any good (in much the same vein as Animal Farm) but a story about political little bunnies was pretty damn good. It was slow at first, I couldn't figure out why exactly I was reading it, but by the end I was in the clutches of the book and helpless to get myself out. One more book off the list, and well worth my time.

Everybody loves a good close match up.

Time to bust out some vertical curves and get this road alignment in.
