Tendonitis

Saturday, my sister and her husband hosted a fight party (the party was actually a small gathering of his co-workers and a few friends...awesome!) for the Gatti/Mayweather bout (Whoa, Lordy! What a beating!!!). Before the fight, my brother-in-law was lamenting about someone stealing his damn muffin from the office 'fridge @ work. "Drop", my sister said. My brother-in-law stood, walked to a clear area of the living room, dropped into a front leaning rest position and proceeded to knock out 10 push-ups. Turns out, my sister has this new policy, 10 push ups for every curse word uttered in the presence of her child. Sounds reasonable enough. For most of the evening, every male, accept for yours truly, performed several sets of push-ups; persistent potty-mouths paying proper penance per profane pronouncement. I went for hours w/o saying anything that would be considered dirty or improper but eventually, even I succumbed to profanity. I left the beer in the freezer too long and...

Gotta love it. I think I've finally hit the wall. I was wondering if this could ever happen w/a blog; the answer's obviously, yes. Nothing exciting today; aside from the fact that it's the first day of summer (and buy one burrito, get one free day @ Chipotle, WOO-HOO!!!), it's simply another Tuesday. That by default makes it better than any Monday in recorded history. The rest of the week is just as bland. I saw four movies this past weekend. Batman Begins--****: In a word, GREAT! The casting, perfect. The plot, believeable. The setting, dark and gritty. The batmobile, blah! Hey, it's not perfect, but it's damn close. http://batmanbegins.warnerbros.com/ Bad Education--***: Pedro Almodovar CANNOT make a bad film. A movie like this isn't everyone's cup of tea (religous hypocrisy, homosexuality, murder, pedophilia, transsexuality), but touchy subjects is where Almodovar shines! I was really impressed by Gael García Bernal...I've only seen him in "Y...

Hard...to...breathe...

So the morning started off cool enough. A little on the nippy side I thought to myself, but the day is still young, it should warm up to a nice 68 degrees and everything will be copasetic. Right? Hell's no! I went out @ 2:30PM to drop off a package, walk to Quiznos for a sub and engage in a spot o' afternoon culture: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/05/10/AR2005051001623.html But after I walked two or three blocks I noticed something; I'm sweating my a** off! I found myself running from shaded area to shaded area trying to keep cool and dry...but to no avail. I can sweat @ the drop of a hat and I usually need a large squeegee to render myself dry. Yeah, I know, TMI. After just 15 minutes I already missed the cool, AC controlled office I so willingly walked out of to take a break from work. After several more blocks, I finally made it to the Corcoran and...my spot o' culture was gone! I had to move quickly, if not, I was going to become the new s...
