Literature, both enjoying the works of others and creating my own; music, all sorts; pool, despite the fact I lose to pretty much everyone.
The old people who have their own reserved seats at the smelly bar; the ones whose teeth look like caramel squares and they smoke like Dean Martin; the ones whose faces look like a crumpled up manila envelope. Because they tell the best stories, and they tell them the way they're supposed to be told, regardless of who's listening.
THE RAT PACK
Oh, what I would've given to have seen these guys perform live...
Yet another indication I'm living in the wrong era.
Also Bob Marley, Metallica, Ludacris, The Streets, Dizzee Rascal, DJ Z Trip, Joe Cocker, and...the sound the front end of my car made when my wheel bearing went bad wasn't nearly as enjoyable, but worth mentioning I guess.
"The Chronicles of Riddick" was the stupidest movie ever made, and it gets stupider every time I think about it. If you're not familar with it, it stars Vin Diesel as a mean-looking alien who spends the entire movie putting on and removing his goggles--eventually taking breaks to kill people with such things as knives and teacups. There's also a girl in the movie who adds nothing to the plot of the movie: she looks kind of hot, kills a couple of people, and dies when the movie requires her to wear unrevealing clothes. Then there's this weird three-faced thing-dude who is, as the narrator says, "Half alive, and half something else." To the surprise of watchers, he's half alive and...half DEAD! This half-dead thing-dude, who is thought to be the most powerful being alive, is raising up an army of possessed people to reach the "Underverse," which is allegedly supposed to make everybody as powerful as him. Now really, why would he want to make everybody as powerful as him? Wouldn't that threaten his rule over them? Nowhere in this movie is there a logical plot or a logical...anything. This is the only movie I've seen directed by David Twohy, and it's the only movie I've seen starring Vin Diesel. I plan to keep it that way.Oh. You wanted a movie I LIKE? I'm going to need more time to think...
My TV is off, except when football's on.
In a few weeks, Duluth will be Sub-Zero.
I'll need to think about that one.
