Pool hall Hooligans

Back in January Amy and Joe left Justin with our folks and the four of us went out for dinner and to shoot some pool like we used to do back in the day. We played both 8-ball and 9-ball in our usual teams – Amy and Aaron and Joe and I. On the digital jukebox we played Foreigner, Journey, The Doobie Brothers and of course Bon Jovi. By the end of the evening we were just about even in terms of games won, but I’m pretty sure Joe and I were the overall winners.

Reminds me of The Go! Team with half of the bouncy happiness drained out and replaced with M.I.A.

Director: Fox Searchlight

If there's one thing Aronofsky knows how to do, it's how to portray bleakness.

Reading:

Anathem

Author: Neal Stephenson

One of my favorite things about this book is that in this fictional world there are names given to ideas that ought to have names in the real world. For instance, Diax's Rake is the idea that you shouldn't believe something just because you want to. The name itself isn't that important, but I like that Stephenson recognizes that some ideas deserve to be acknowledged.

Red Dead Redemption

Like GTA in the Old West, but so far, more interesting. I just hope that the buddy characters don't require the same kid-gloved hand-holding from GTA4.
