Robots and stuff
Whee, I hung out with Brian M tonight. We went to Crossroads, and we saw the movie Robots. It was better than I expected -- very goofy. I realize it's yet another installment in the "silly CG movies for kids but also funny for adults" series of recent films, but I thought it was kinda neat, even if it was vaguely anti-climactic. It had like a bazillion famous people voice acting in it, heh. And when the heck did Mel Brooks become, like, almost 80 years old? Wowie.
I saw a preview for Fever Pitch before it though, and I *have* to see this movie. It's got Drew Barrymore and the Red Sox in it -- who cares if it's actually good? I realize I will tend to lower my standards for some sorts of movies -- like baseball movies, and movies with people like Drew Barrymore or John Cusack -- therefore, since this is a baseball movie with Drew Barrymore in it, it won't have to be particularly good to make me happy. Hee. Anyway, it opens next weekend; if I don't find anyone to see it with, I guess it'll be the silly movie I force Carl to see with me in Pittsburgh or something! Whee.
After Robots, we wandered around Crossroads a bit, and had dinner at Chili's and sat around talking for a while. Man, Chili's really kinda sucks if you get anything besides fajitas. Oh well.
I came home and have been doing some crazy ship runs on PP; and now I'm going to go lie down and probably finish reading Moneyball.
Woooo, baseball season starts in like 12 hours over here!
(And GO CARP! Arai just hit a 2-run homer to bring the score to 8-7. I wonder if it'd be silly for me to decide to switch allegiance to the Carp this year just because I have a ship named Hiroshima Carp in PP... well, they can be my CL team, and I'll stay with the Fighters for PL. Har.)
