Dreary, Grey Sunday...

So this weekend has been pretty much a big bust (although I *did* just have an enormously decadent brunch at Norma's at "Le Park Meridian"-- which ended up costing very little, since they accidentally spilled coffee on me!). It's currently grey and almost-rainey, and I've still gotten nowhere with my work.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm gonna do with myself... =P

Perfect time for a blog rant about a bunch of random topics!! :-D

I saw "Beowulf" in IMAX 3D yesterday and it was a pretty good film-- if you see it in 3D. Getting the extra layer of Angelina Jolie was definitely a treat, but people will be disappointed if they're hoping for a direct interpretation of the English epic.

My wonderful friend uploaded photos from the Cleveland wedding earlier this month and I have to say that I look pretty silly on the dance floor.

Here's a semi-decent (albeit still silly) photograph of me at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame:


Maybe I should go join a rock band... Heheheh.

News in the world of baseball was pretty weird these past few days.

Barry Bonds is being rightfully indicted for lying to the Feds about taking steroids, and A-Rod has gone crawling back to the Yankees. Although I see both these things as good news (since Bonds is getting what was coming to him and A-Rod will actually do the Yankees some good-- no matter how much of a jack he is for opting out of his contract), I have pretty mixed feelings about it all. =/

I can probably go on for a while about my conflicting thoughts, but I'll spare everyone from the mile-long stream of thought. =X

A few weeks ago, I saw Ang Lee's newest film, "Lust Caution"-- after running into him at the London Heathrow Airport.


The leading lady, Tang Wei, did a pretty amazing job and I have to say that despite the NC-17 rating, the film was really thoughtful and excellent. There were maybe 3 graphic sex scenes and they were very integral to the plot-- definitely not smutty or excessive at all. Very purposeful and telling scenes.

Tang Wei looked to be about 5'7'' in person, and I'm really regretting that I didn't get to talk more to her. I shoulda taken the chance to ask for her #!

Oh well... Another lost opportunity, I guess (as if I honestly had a chance!). =P

Watching the All American Rejects now.

I think the band name pretty much describes how I'm feeling...
