I should read one of Gladwell's books. I've seen him a couple times on BookTV.
Ravens did pretty well. (I still don't really go for Boller-as-starter much.)

Just saw an advanced screening of "Kong" at the Senator theater in Towson.

While I can't say it's an equal to any of the LOTR movies...it is still damn good and the effects are incredible.

Denver this weekend. Never been and I'll get to hang out with a friend on Saturday night, so that will be fun.

Kong pissed me off. 200 million + and that was that? Dont get me wrong, the WIP I saw was damn nice, and a good movie to boot (how can it not be with WETA and PJ?)...but I just didnt understand how the payroll for it spiraled out of control.

Guess it's time for me to post my monthly jibber-jabber.

Picked up the SG DVD and it's pretty solid. Didn't know what to expect (other than hot naked girls) but it's cool to catch a peek at who some of them really are. Well done and the music is cool. Some stuff I knew and some that was new. Stoked that the Probot video is...

After todays game, I would think ya'll would be chomping at the bit for a Quinn, Young, or Leinart.

I understand what you mean. In the space of like thirty minutes I can go from wearing a suit talking up Brian Henson to a hoodie and jeans making fart jokes with friends. I like to think it helps us keep grounded, because without those doses of reality, I can understand how some people can totally lose their way.

5 down...eleven to go.

My friends Sonjay and Ashmita were up from Raleigh yesterday so we were able to get a couple drinks and chill last night.

Locally, one of my best friends (since third grade) and his wife told us last night that she is pregnant for the first time...ah the times they are a changing.

Heh, it's been kinda crazy on my side of things. But in a good way. New job, new location, freaking responsibility (ugh). Every day I think I get a little closer to being respectable, and that doesnt sit well with me.

Hey though, Leinart in 06 tho, right? tongue

Emptiness abounds....

Too busy to enjoy what life is...

Internal struggles playing a wicked game of tug o war...

or maybe it's the Crown speaking...

I just got your msg on my phone, I was asleep.

I kind of got a head start on the drinking and passed out. blush

You + Me + Hockey = Soon

Quick re-cap of the past two weeks...needless to say I'm tired (yet it was all worth it).
- Giants/Nationals game at RFK
- Left for San Francisco
- Business meetings
- Carl Cox at the Ruby Skye (INCREDIBLE!!!)
- 49ers/Cowboys game at Monster Park
- Returned from SF
- Oasis at Merriweather
- Coldplay at Nissan

Lots of work and very little sleep mingled in,...

Whereabouts are you? I'm not saying "no," just I'm wondering how far away it is.

Man, I really need to catch a game of NFL this year. Color me jealous that you get to see them so many times each year smile

Pretty scary to see my last entry was right as Katrina hit and I had just returned from New Orleans.

Leave for SF for 4 days tomorrow.

Always on the road. Kerouac-ian.

If you're down for a move in Arundel Mills, my friend and some ppl he knows are all planning on going to see "Serenity". Looks like it might be decent.
goatsgotohell:
I didn't make the movie, which I hear its good, so that kind of sucks, but c'est la vie.

Tonight I work until 10pm then work Sunday

Wednesday the 5th though isn't a bad day for me, I'm off all day then don't work until 1pm on Thursday.

And yes, beer + hockey = things I like

Hurricanes and handgrenades were the touristy beverages of choice Thursday evening. We flew back after the game, getting into B-more at 4 am, and me getting back from work at 6 am. Still drowsy, but now we're home for 4 weeks in a row...so life is good.

Also sucks I can only check SG from home, so I'm way behind being in touch and checking...

My big news today...a month and a half later I have finally been able to move the thumb on my left hand enough to reach the pinkie finger. Can only move it down the very top tip, but it's a start. Rehab...rehab...rehab.

Good luck!
