Watch This

- Watched Hero a couple weeks ago. I thought it was a cool movie, except the story was a little hokey. They tried to make it a little too deep and philosophical, and it didn't really work, if you ask me. Still, I would recommend it to anyone who is considering watching it, and I think it is worth paying the $7 to see on the big screen.

- Watched Mean Girls with Olivia. It was a truly profound film, that has changed my outlook on life entirely. Well maybe not, but it has convinced me to start using the word "fetch" more in my everyday conversations. "You see the rims on that Benz? So fetch man." "Wow, good thing I pulled that full house on the river. That card was pretty fetch."

- Watched Roy Jones Jr. get dismantled by some Jamaican guy, getting knocked out in the 9th round or so on Saturday night. He just did not look good at all throughout the fight. It's sad to see how fast things can come apart for a guy in the world of boxing. You dominate your sport for more than a decade, then all of a sudden you lose two big matches in a row and your career is pretty much over just like that.

- Watched Dan play PartyPoker for real money. I never realized how entertaining online poker could be, but it was awesome. It made me want to deposit some money in my own account and start playing myself. Only thing that's stopping me right now is that I don't really trust them with my credit card or bank account numbers.

- Watched a frustrating day of football, both fantasy-wise and Bears-wise. Got to see Onterrio Smith and Culpepper have their way with the Bears defense, while simultaneously lighting me up in the McNown league. Roy Williams was also a killer, I must say. I might've had a chance to win, if Domanick Davis didn't get injured, and more importantly, had I started Reggie Wayne instead of Larry Fitzgerald. What a stupid decision by me. Every pass to Wayne was like a knee to the groin, so by about 6pm yesterday, you can probably imagine how swollen my jewels felt. Seeing Manning and Favre going head-to-head was a real treat though, as a football fan. Especially after watching Josh McCown and Drew Brees repeatedly mess up drives for my boys with their rampant fumbles and sacks. Which often came on the same play, I might add.
