I have just returned from Boston. It is the only sane thing to do if you find yourself up there.

Seriously...those bastards. If the Patriots win another friggin' championship, they're gonna get even more insufferable.

I haven't posted anything lately. No excuses...I'm just lazy. Anyways, I figured I should start again. I played in the first basketball game of the season in the Diamond Bar adult league and we basically got our asses kicked. It was close until the end, but then we let it get away from us. It didn't help I was playing like Big Ben Roethlisberger and started throwing the ball to the wrong team. I certainly didn't have my best game...as a matter of fact, I basically played like shit. Oh well, at least I can only go up from here. Speaking of which, we have a new player named Bihn who is a fairly talented player but more of a streetballer. What I mean by this is he hasn't gotten used to the idea of refs calling fouls intead of the usual "call your own" style on the playground. Because of this, he managed to foul out with about 14 minutes left in the game leaving us with only one bench player for substitute. As Stu Lance would say, "That's not gonna get it done." I have hope that we'll do much better next week as we'll get a bit more time to get used to each other.

I saw "In Good Company" this weekend and I have to say it was quite good. Topher Grace is really entertaining; he's got that amazing comedic timing that can make any line sound funny. He's a bit like Tom Hanks, although much skinnier. Maybe he'll fill out as he gets older. Also of note in this movie was Scarlett Johansson who I happen to like in pretty much everything I've seen her in. I'm really not sure why, as she's not that great an actress...she just has that incredibly unique look to her. Her performance in this particular movie isn't anything to write home about either, but she's completely believable as a young, college student who's trying to find herself. Probably wasn't much of a stretch, even if she is sort of a movie star. I wasn't all that impressed with the ending as it was rushed and somewhat cheesy, but despite that, it was a very enjoyable experience.
