Audition. Again, we watched another crazy Japanese movie. Again, I slept through the middle of a movie. The beginning was just so boring, but the end definitely picked up the slack. Actually, the end was a bit much. I was confused through pretty much everything I saw after I fell asleep, but even those who stayed awake seemed pretty unsure of anything. I have enough trouble keeping names straight in American movies (I can’t even remember the name of Zach Braff’s character in Garden State), so it’s a bit of a challenge remembering who’s Takehashi and who’s Hashitaki. As violent as Ichi the Killer was, it was overdone in a Kill Bill manner so it was bearable. Audition’s ending scenes are just plain disturbing.
ESPN NFL 2K5. Jason choked hard against Louie, giving up an eighteen-point lead within three minutes. At a critical point in the game, all Jason had to do was receive a kickoff and knee the ball to let time expire. The victory would be sealed. Instead, he watched as the ball bounced in the end zone. And he just kept watching. Only until he saw a mob of green Eagle jerseys did he realize that he had to touch the ball for the touchback. Louie grabbed the ball and made the two-point conversion to tie. Jason could not convert on a fourth down attempt, and Louie hit a 44-yard field goal to win the game.
Chicken Wings. They were awesome. What more can I say? Chicken wings are good. A lot of chicken wings is great. I believe we floured over two hundred, and were only able to finish half the batch. We watched the Monday Night game and ate wings and ice cream. What a great night.
Craziness. Glenn stood up from the middle of the couch, dived over my outstretched legs and rolled on the ground when he landed. In the chaos, he kicked over a counter stool that fell slowly. It was not slow enough for Jason, though, who fell after being hit right in the danger zone.
