As if anyone will care, my beloved Phillies won their opener yesterday 8-4 over the former Montreal Expos, now called the Washington something or others. Looks like getting Lieber and Lofton from the Yankees wasn't too bad a move. And Burrell is back! Who am I kidding, it's been 1 game...I'll calm down now.
So this coming weekend is my long awaited 3 day weekend...oh my. I'm besides myself with having 3 whole days off in a row that I have no idea what to do to celebrate such an event. Now I do have some things already lined up, like a graduation party on Saturday evening up in the lovely, picturesque section of Northeast Philly. I'm quite anxious to see a movie, espcially the Upside of Anger with Costner and Joan Allen. I've heard good things about it, unlike Sin City. Everyone and their mother saw Sin City this weekend and I've been hearing all kinds of reviews on this jawn. Looking at the real critics hasn't been much help either since their opinions seem to be all over the map as well.
Roger Ebert says, "This isn't an adaptation of a comic book, it's like a comic book brought to life and pumped with steroids" and gave it an A rating...hmmm, perhaps.
My buddy Gabe Jazzy says "Really hot" but this guy loved Harold and Kumar, so I'm cautious.
The New York Times says "The major problem is that after about 10 minutes, you've seen all the movie's tricks." and my co-worker Joolie agrees that it was "stupid."
Baby Brother Dan was high on this one and said he appreciated the style and the direction that Robert and Frank were going in as directors, he said it was Tarantino-esque. Hmmm. I like that.
I don't know. Maybe this weekend I'll squeeze in a viewing if I can. More importantly though, I'm almost off to the real Sin City out in Nevada. The countdown to Vegas has begun. 22 days left.
I'm also awaiting a call to confirm another photo session with the lovely Amy. I'm got a bunch of cool ideas that might actually turn into something paying if they come out right...so I'm amped about that. Looking like either Saturday or Sunday afternoon will be devoted to snapping some shots...and that's hot.
The reality is that I'll be happy just to rest and relax this weekend, as I've been working so much lately that I'm just plum sick of going there. It's not the job or the people, it's the routine that is getting me down. And the fucked up schedules.
