I'm listening to Sportsradio 1310 The Ticket on the internet. Bob and Dan are talking about Bob's experience with burning music records while he attended fundamentalist Baptist high school. It's pure gold!
The House of Flying Daggers: Two nights ago, I went to see this with Ryan, Brent, Nick, and Kayla. This movie is visually stunning! I haven't ever seen such striking visual effects from slow motion arrows, daggers, and fight scenes to the fantastic landscapes that fill the backgrounds of each scene. WOW! Nick tells me the movie Hero is even more visually stunning, so I'll be quick to see that one as well. Ziyi Zhang (the girl from Crouching Tiger) is beautiful and such a great dancer (she actually doesn't know any martial arts). I'm in love. Anyway, the movie is very nice. There is a nice love plot, tons of action, and the story is nice. The only beef I had was missing the big battle between the House of Flying Daggers and the government's army. Maybe that will be in the sequel. Or maybe I should just watch Braveheart again and get the same effect.
Friday Night Lights: Last night I watched this with Kayla. It's ok. I actually was expecting a lot more. Maybe I'm biased, because I live here and know how big Texas high school football is. Was this really much better than Varsity Blues (another movie about Texas high school football)? Not really. Maybe you disagree, and I probably need to see Friday Night Lights again. But I wasn't all that impressed when it was all said and done. And as far as sports movies go, I still think Miracle is the greatest sports documentary ever made.
Also, last night Kayla and I had Mexican food from a place called Guadalajara Grill. I had portabella mushroom drenched in this avocado sauce and shrimp. It was good. Kayla had beef tacos. Then we split Mexican vanilla in a waffle cone from Amy's Ice Cream. Yum! Yesterday was also Ash Wednesday and thus the first day of Lent. I gave up all sodas, so hurray for that.
It looks like I'll be visiting happy hour in Clear Lake this evening followed by 50 cent beer and hotdogs from the Greyhound Track. I'll bring my camera. It's gonna be sweet.
Tomorrow, I have a tennis match against fellow pulmonary student Jackie Turner. She's talking a big game (as am I), so there will be a lot of pride on the line. She tells me she played in high school and college, so I might be getting in over my head. Dude, she might really embarrass me! Whatever, I just want to play tennis...what do I have to lose except my pride and personal dignity? Also, Carolyn is bringing THE DOOOOBERS in the evening, so I look forward to that.
