Watched two excellent movies this week. The first, I, Robot, was much, much better than I'd anticipated; it didn't bastardize the Three Laws and even incorporated recognizable bits from a few Asimov stories. It's still in theaters, and I saw it for a dollar. You should see it at some point.
The second, Shaun of the Dead, may or may not be coming to a theater near you. It's not coming to Appleton, though. We managed to get our hands on an early DVD-rip, and it was hilarious. In fact, it's the best zombie movie I've ever seen.
That includes the B-movie classic Zombie Bloody Demon, which I watched with Flo once upon a time.
Played racquetball this week. Three games against the Politician. He's quite a bit better than me, and naturally I lost all three games, but it's nice to get some exercise that isn't as mindnumbingly boring as my usual running-on-a-treadmill.
Apparently we're organizing a tournament. News to me.
Speaking of the Politician, his betrothed is up this weekend and I made him promise that we'd play King's Cup, probably the best drinking game ever. While helping Freshman Matt and Ben pick up a couch and a table from Ye Ole Thrift Shoppe, I found the perfect three-pint stein to use as the Cup.
As it turns out, I ended up being the King, and had to down a mixture of orange juice, cranberry vodka, beer, Kool-Aid, and So-Co. I looked pretty ridiculous drinking from that huge stein (which was only about a third full, if that), but, well, look at those spectacular guns. Who's ridiculous now?
We started drinking really late and stopped really early, playing Blackjack and Presidents instead. The Politician and his intended went to meet a friend at the VR, and I stayed behind. So all told my week has had about two hours of debauchery, if that. I like that. I need a straightedge week every now and then.
And homework-wise, all is well. I have to read Brave New World for class. How sweet is that?
