I had a great weekend! Zach, Eric, Zima and Sean came over on Friday night to watch Reservoir Dogs. I’d forgotten how much I love that movie. The DVD comes with a bunch of extra stuff like some lame deleted scenes, and “KBILLY’s radio”, which lets you listen to some random audio stuff related to the movie, including an interview with a convicted driver for a heist team, describing what he liked and didn’t like about the movie.
While I was talking to Miles about it, we got to talking about caper and heist movies and I mentioned that I didn’t think was really possibly to make a bad heist movie, and Miles said he’s take me up on the challenge. It’ll be interesting to see if he can do it, taking it seriously. If he just makes an hour of random unrelated stuff, I don’t think that would qualify. He has to actually *try* to make a heist flick.
On Saturday, Annie’s brother Zach arrived to spend the weekend with us. We got some burritos and hung out during the day until everyone came over to play Settlers of Catan. Afterwards, we rented a copy of Donny Darko, which several people hadn’t seen. That movie is incredible.
And Sunday was amazingly lazy. It was great. We slept in, and then watched TV and played video games for most of the day. That night we went to a local Italian restaurant for dinner, and then went to see Steve’s band play at the pub, which was excellent.
Nothing to say about today, though. I’m just working. So you should all go read this entry from Visigoth’s journal.

Well
Not to harp on Visigoth, but it would be nice if we tried to fund our schools instead of teach kids how to kill people, regardless of how fun it may seem.

must resist.. urge to engage in political debate on .. web-site…..

Sure
Yeah, yeah, bake sales and all that. Still, could you come off your high horse for a couple minutes and admit that what Visigoth is describing sounds like a lot of fun? No one is saying that military spending is not out of control.
All I was trying to do was point out that this sounds really neat, and you completely ignored the point of my post, in order to swing the conversation back around to political debating, which wasn’t what I was trying to talk about.

excellent
I can’t wait to see this movie, miles! :D

No
It does not sound like fun to me, it sounds like training to kill people to me, not my bag baybe. But I apologize to those who think it does sound like fun.
Don’t forget to vote today. Vote however you please though ;) I wrote in Zach for one of the positions I think.

You say that now …
I appreciate your perspective on education vs. warfare, Sasha … but when “Ahkmed and his all-machine gun choir” is holed up in a restroom near you, you’ll be happy to know that someone is trained to handle that situation.
… just a thought
