So I have two things that have happened this week that I feel like I should write about –

1) Sin City. Wow. I’ve been a fan of Frank Miller for a while, he did some amazing stuff on Batman and Daredevil both, and I’ve read ‘The Hard Goodbye’ (the formerly untitled first Sin City story arc). So I was a little stoked to see the movie coming out, but due to varying stuff in life I didn’t get a chance to see it till this wednesday. I went with my friend Aaron and I gotta say, I loved it. It blew me away. The black and white, stark grittiness, and the way that it blew off the screen just like an explosion. I was pretty much amazed the whole time. Now, there are some caveats: It’s really violent, and visceral, and even though much of it is stylized or comic-y, it’s still there. So don’t take your kids. But if you have any interest in this style… (Someone described it as pulp fiction meets Humphrey Bogart), then see it.

2) Hockey – No, not the NHL, my beer league! We’re in the finals! As 5th seed, we beat the 4th seed and the 1st seed, and we play sunday against the #7 team for overall champion! I’m so excited.
