Snap Weekend

A quick view of my weekend

Friday
After work, I went over to Kelly's house and exchanged gifts with her. I gave her a porcelain doorknob with a rose on it and a wood press block. She in turn gave me a shirt with "I heart shotgun zombie" on it. Then we debated on where to go out and eat and which movie to see. We ended up at Tyson's, getting some pretzel stuff from Aunt Anne's, and some candy before watching Bolt in 3-D. I was amazed that Disney could pull of a CG movie without Pixar. I kept the glasses, and plan on rocking them as much as I can.

Saturday
Went to the gym and then played football with Marcel, Mike, Brice, and David. It was a good time. I screwed up my my lower leg again, the same kind of injury I had last season in rugby. But that's nothing compared to Marcel spraining his ankle after Brice tackled him. I got to drive Marcel's explorer onto the HH Poole football field to pick him up. He's doing fine. After I got home and showered, I texted my trainer Wendy telling her we'd need to modify my workout on Sunday due to my bad leg.

Sunday
Woke up to a text from my trainer Wendy asking about my leg and if I was going to cancel or come in. I decided it would be better if I just healed up first and not look even more pitiful at the gym with the injury. Then went back to bed. Later, I helped dad throw away a couch.
In closing, I now have plans for Valintine's day.....taking the GRE. Woo.

A change in music

So, while reading Kelly's latest entry I found my way to this blog and video. It's a video made by NYC messenger group Empire. I watched the video with its sound turned off and had this music, from a Mont Blanc page, on in the background. The Mont Blanc music worked very well with the video, setting a different more elegant tone and making the messengers seem more fluid in their actions when avoiding cars, bars, and people.

And for the record, I didn't take that role of Nintendo stickers, as Kelly said in her blog. For it was her who stopped me from swipping them. Foiled my plans yet again Welshi....(shakes his fist).

First Will Smith, now Keanu Reeves

In a recent interview with MTV Movies, Keanu Reeves said he wants his next project to be a live-action Cowboy Bebop movie (click his pic for the link).
Now, I have mixed feelings about this. I read the article and it seems that Keanu knows what he's talking about when it comes to the Bebop universe. He wants to tell the origin of the Red Eye drug, which is something I'd be more than happy to watch. But he wants to be Spike, and that's where I get a little shaky at. Keanu isn't the most versitile of actors. He's played the moody bland hero for so long. I just can't see him as Spike. Additionally on retrospect, I really can't think of anyone in Hollywood that I'd like to see play Spike.
All I really hope for is for three things: Watanabe, Nobumoto, and Kanno to have some involvement with the movie. I believe in Keanu for his geek love for the series, but not for his acting ability.

This one's for Adam

What is the average number of t-shirts an American child should have?

I had a very depressing discussion with one of my co-workers. It started out with the simple question of "what should I get my kids?" I have a little knowledge about her offspring, in the knowledge that they are all little shits that need to beaten for all the crap that they pull with her. This is in addition to the douche' bag of a husband she's divorcing. My response to her question was to buy her children clothes.

What came of her response was a diatribe about clothing being strung about her house as her children do not know how to do anything more than wipe their own ass and break shit. I blame the parents for this as there wasn't any punishment enforced. And all the while the line she was repeating was "I still can't find the average number of t-shirts an American child should own."

WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING!? Grow a backbone, walk into your house with a baseball bat, and go ape shit. They don't respect you.

Moving on, it just gets annoying to hear her complain that they never do anything she tells them to do.
