* Saw 2 movies with the woman. First was "The Hunted", which was basically a suckier version of "Rambo: First Blood". I thought it would be good cause Benicio Del Toro is cool, but unfortunately it didn't stack up to "Usual Suspects". I don't recommend this movie, there's no real plot or character development and the fighting is pretty weak.
The other movie was "Cradle 2 The Grave". I got carded twice for the stupid movie, once at the ticket window and another time by the guy who rips your ticket stub. At least they asked Olivia for ID too so it wasn't like last year's Sox game. As for the movie, it was aight. More entertaining and worth the admission than "The Hunted". Good fight scenes, even though they were pretty much recycled from past movies. DMX is a quality actor, while Jet Li speaks perfect English. (just kidding) You all might be surprised to hear me say this, but I don't think Kelly Hu is all that. She looks too stereotypically Oriental. Although she is better looking than Lucy Liu. Anyways, the one lesson to be learned from this movie: Don't Mess With Taiwan.
* I-L-L.... Went to the UC after work on Saturday for the semifinal game of the Big Ten Tourney. We got pretty good seats at the window, first row of 300 level with a decent view.
Dee Brown is the man. Beating Indiana was nice, but half the fun of being there was booing Tom Coverdale every time he touched the ball. I thought I was the only one who hated him, but I guess I was wrong.
Sunday, watched Illini finish off Ohio State to win the little tournament. Illinois got a #4 seed in what is by far the toughest bracket, which was kind of stupid. It's all good though. Thinking back to the start of the season, this team has really exceeded expectations all the way through and I'm glad we're here. Winning the big tournament would be nice though, really nice. Can't say I totally expect it, but I think at least we can hang with any team in the country. I'm already looking forward to a possible 3rd round matchup with Arizona. Who wants to fly to Anaheim next week? Too bad I probably can't, but it would've been nice. Who knows, maybe something will work out...
* Dudo League Baseball Draft. Yes, Sunday was the day that 12 owners had been waiting for all winter. Unfortunately I didn't really prepare that much for this draft, but it turned out aight. I reunited my old pitching staff of Mussina, Kevin Brown, Greg Maddux, and Roger Clemens. Hey, 3 years ago they were awesome. This year, I just hope they stay healthy and put up serviceable numbers. My core is hitting anyways. I'm counting on repeat big seasons from A-Rod, Soriano, and Bonds. If that happens, my team should be a contender again this year, but of course there's no guarantees in baseball. That's all part of the fun.
* Craft. What weekend would be complete without its share of Starcraft? I feel the skills flowing back to me. Just need some more consistency and I'll be a force again.
Currently playing on my Winamp: Backstreet Boys - More Than That
Gotta love the 'Boys.
