Hail VICTORY! Fuck yeah. Today was awesome. I was having withdrawls from not being able to go to the stadium for the third week in a row, so I got to tailgate and watch the game with my buddies Mark and Mike. The Redskins looked pretty good today, handing the Cowboys their first loss of the season. That means the Skins have won 3 games in in a row. FUCK YEAH!

The Redskins started the game with a nice drive but ended up punting and then went down 7. The rest of the game was close and came down to Campbell kneeling to seal the win for the third week in a row! We ended up taking the Victory 26-24!@#! Came down to an onside kick too. Close! The offense has really started to click lately it seems and we are on a roll after losing the first game. We are going into Philly next week, which is sure to be a tough game.

I have had some down time this weekend and have been able to catch up on some of my favorite TV shows. I finished season 4 of Weeds, and season 2 of Heroes. I also watched the latest two episodes of Heroes which are pretty kewl. I really like that show. Some crazy shit going on though!

I am so stoked about the Reskins win, you have no idea! “Fight for ‘Ol DC!” Gotta go to bed early though, so I can do my dumb early meeting tomorrow. Dream a dream about me. Hehe.

Wow. Super super fucking fun night! So I mentioned getting tickets to the advance showing of the new Batman movie, the Dark Knight. Knowing we had a crew of people going to see the flick we set out of work early (hey! - we deserve it!) on a pre-movie adventure. Sure, we might have taken a wrong turn (whoops) but we made it before everyone else. Sat down, ordered some drinks and by the time we were half way done, Mark and Krysta showed up. Then Libby, then Ann, then Andrea. Yay meeting new people.

Got more drinks, moved to a table and ordered some grub. Luckily, Krysta had a friend in the restaurant that had gotten a work email saying they had to change the venue for the showing. FUCK! So we are on the other side of the county and find this important nugget of information out about 10 minutes after six. Mind you, were supposed to be at the theater to get tickets at 6:30. So we gotta bust arses now. BOO! Seriously, how do you muff that one? FUUUMBLE!!!

Scarf down the meals, get doggie bags for any leftovers, and peaced the fuck out!!! We flew down LCP and got to the other theater at about 10 minutes to 7. They had the movie showing in two auditoriums to fit all of the peeps that reserved spots. I was really trying to have my boy Sean chill with us, but he was in the other joint, and they actually started before we did. At least they could fit all of the people that got tickets, and did not botch anything else. But we made it, saw the previews and all that shiat. That matters the most! The best preview was for ‘Tropic Thunder‘ which looks fucking hiiilarious!

The Dark Knight was pretty insane from the get go. The late Heath Ledger NAILED the Joker role and played one of the most creepy & psychotic roles I’ve seen. Shame he had to go. This really turned me into a fan of his acting skills. Lots of shit blowing up, lots of action, neat guns, fucking wicked Batmobile… the plot was pretty neat also. I had a few favorite parts but without giving anything away, if you see it - the scene with the pencil is great. Two face looked twisted. Also, I hear that they used a real paddy wagon & eighteen wheeler on that one part. Zoinks yo.

I like the Batman series the most I think. He doesn’t have time to get all caught up in love with the leading lady ‘n shit. I mean, he was - but not like Spidey would be. BLECH. He’s a PIMP in the making by day, and a badass outlaw hero by night that noone can take down. He has 007-like gadgets but is just way more brutal. Bond wishes he could hand it out like the Bman.

I also think I found my next halloween costume. HAHA. The Joker nurse outfit is an instant classic. I do not get out to many movies, but am really glad that I did not miss out on this one. Shit, I got to see it before lots of other peeps. Does that make me super kewl? Somehow doubt it, but a boy can pretend.

Now I get to look forward to Cavalera Conspiracy on 21st and Reggae Fest with the Marleys on the 26th. Talk about action! It’s just what we do. Rock Out!

Current Mood(s):  Cool & Playful

I just returned home from a private screening of the new Will Ferrell movie, Semi-Pro, that was held by my work at a local theater. They issued a limited amount of tickets for employees and a guest to attend the show. They had a small raffle to give away prizes. We even got free popcorn and soda!

Semi-pro is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. From the very beginning I was laughing my ass off. The opening song was hilarious. The jokes were very dirty. There were some decent stars in it too, Woody Harrelson, Andre 3000 and Andy Richter. If you want to laugh, you need to see this movie.

Saw a bunch of buddies from work, and met a few new people. Good times.

I just wanted to extend congrats to Slipknot for winning the Grammy for Best Heavy Metal Performance on Wednesday night.

Slipknot has been nominated in the “Best Metal Performance” category for six consecutive years, but never took home the Grammy until now.
