Go stillers!
Saturday, I mostly ignored the wind. I slept until 4pm, and then since games weren't happening, decided to go downtown and see the movie Transamerica. I really haven't seen many movies in the theater lately so that was sort of cool. The movie itself was... interesting. I mostly saw it because the premise seemed sort of bizarre to me, but it actually worked just fine, though there were a few moments of "wtf?" and several times when I really wanted to strangle the main characters. It worked out in a good place.
Today/Sunday, I went to sleep at 2am despite waking at 4pm, though I didn't get up until 1pm. I went over to Oren's place to watch the Super Bowl, which was really pretty funny overall. I can't believe Joe Namath and Mick Jagger are both 62 years old. The latter certainly looks better than the former. I'm really happy for all my friends in Pittsburgh who live and die by the Stillers, though I'm not looking to hearing all the people at work tomorrow talk about the game.
We finished watching Gokusen after that. What a great ending! Though I'm sad there aren't more episodes.... yeah, there's a second season, but it'll be different students. I thought it was great that when Shinohara, Tetsu, and Kashiwagi all say they're rivals and going after Yankumi and then Sawada pipes up like "Ha, make that four of us". <3 Sawada. He's the best character.
Anyway, today/tomorrow is Monday, and it's my brother's birthday (also Babe Ruth's and Ronald Reagan's). Hopefully I'll get home early enough to call him.

Your brother is Babe Ruth?

Did you see the Gokusen drama, or just read the manga?

It's funny, every episode of it is pretty much the same: plot arises, Yankumi (or her ototobun) makes some funny Yakuza slip-up, Yankumi goes on some bizarre mental fantasy for a few minutes (usually involving Shinohara), subplot problem arises, people run around a whole lot looking for someone, there's a big fight scene involving one of the 3-D guys (and most likely Sawada), then Yankumi shows up, says "Me? I am their tannin-sensei", kicks ass, saves the day.
And yet it's awesome. Maybe it's because from a fiction-writer's perspective, the best part of it is the characters. They're really well-defined and they show real growth during the series.
I guess I should watch the second season...
