Just got back from seeing the movie Garden State (1:05 AM) with Ruth. It was written, directed, AND stars Zach Braff of the sitcom Scrubs, another wonderful production. This guy is probably a genius, and I have a feeling this film is the start of an outstanding writing career. The movie is absolutely fantastic. You could see it with your parents. I have this beautiful string of seeing first rate movies this summer. It's just so great to walk out of a movie totally refreshed and excited about living. Kinda how I feel after I walk out of a Wes Anderson picture. This was a very nice emotional piece that all of you need to go see.
Today
Today started with a call to Priscilla Saldivar to ask her about Emergency Medicine programs for Seema. Priscilla is always very willing to help me out, which is always reciprocated. So we have a nice relationship that way. Plus she's a sweetheart and funny, so you really can't go wrong on that account.
Then it was off to Ruth's lovely apartment to pick her up for the Astros game and $1 hotdogs. The game was very nice, especially since the roof was closed creating a comfortable viewing experience. Plus, $1 hotdogs dude! Shit, if Travis ever found out, the place would go out of business. The Astros won 11-2, continuing their big streak as the Rangers continue their downward spiral. Oh well. You gotta love the Rangers though...they have been unbelievably awesome this season. The Astros will probably choke as usual if they make the playoffs, so no expectations there either.
Then we decided to enjoy the rest of the day outdoors. We went to the local tennis court for some ball-hitting. Ruth has some nice tennis skills. Then I dropped her off at her place ending Ruth Weekend. I'm very pleased with our "quality time" the last few days. She's a totally amazing girl by my account, so I plan on more of the same in the coming days. Nice work TODD FOX.
Ryan got back from his Vegas Vacation this evening. He seems to have enjoyed the weekend. Apparently there was A LOT OF DRINKING AND GAMBLING, which is what you're supposed to do out there from what I here. So it's nice to have him back. Maybe his cats will stop shitting on my bathroom rug now.
Finally, props to my sister Carolyn. We're currently playing gin at yahoo games, and I mentioned how I want her to see Napoleon Dynamite and Garden State. So what does she do, she starts quoting Napoleon Dynamite lines. ABSOLUTE GREATENESS! I'm so pleased that she saw the film and enjoyed it. We always seem to enjoy the same comedy in films dating back to our hours of watching Spaceballs, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, or more recently Anchorman. Now she needs to see Garden State, and her 2004 summer movie schedule will be complete.
