Just got back from the midnite showing of Batman Begins. I can't recollect the last time I was very hyped for a film and was satisfied afterwards. I think others will agree, though I may just be a bat-fanatic.

One of my favorite lines ever. I've heard it come up in conversations exactly twice. The first was by former California Gov Pete Wilson, speaking to a group of several thousand high school students. He was trying to get hip with the times by singing Chumbawumba before he telling us that when we "get knocked down, we get up again" because its " ( Read more... )

Or something to that Airborne effect. So Neil was back in town for Spring Break. Threes, Jeremy and Neil invited me over to be the 4th man in their Super Smash Brothers Melee group. Sandwiched inbetween an hour and a half of stock matches was two 99 minute matches, one on PokeFloats, one on Final Destination. How can you fight 99 minutes on ( Read more... )

Also another $100 into my interpoker account Really, the worst run ever at UB, i haven't finished up at any of the 20 tables i've sat down at, really pretty horrific, i'm lucky to have not been wiped out. It ( Read more... )

Ok, so heres the hopefully re-start of weekly saturday updates.

Going over, I had stopped playing poker completely for 3 months, and with the remaining $150ish, I decided to go broke and be finished, or rebuild my bankroll.  Since I just started this now, here are the previous totals of the past couple saturdays.

I've had the free time (or if you are a dick like Jason, you could point out my partial employment) to watch a few movies over the last couple of weeks.  Some highlights include:

Chungking Express : Pretty great movie featuring Takeshi Kaneshiro (from Returner/Burger Cop fame) and Tony Leung (from many things, among them Hero and Infernal Affairs ( Read more... )
