Sports!
Well, the whole post really isn’t going to be about sports, so that title is a bit misleading. My apologies.
I mentioned in my last post that I was going to comment on The Da Vinci Code, which I saw with Dan on Friday. Friday was opening day, and even though we saw it at 4 PM, the theater was still packed. And we saw it on the “UltraScreen” which seats more people. Very impressive showing, we thought. Now the movie had gotten skewered by critics, and I understand some of their points after seeing the movie. For one, it is slower than the book, but only because it stays very true to the book. And a fast-paced book translated directly to screen results in a bit of a slow movie. But it was entertaining and well-acted. Overall, I thought it was a good movie. So go see it if you are a fan of the book. It’s worth it.
Now, what about sports? Well, yesterday, Ida came over (Woodie’s high school friend… and college friend too) and she, Dan, Woodie, and myself, headed out to the basketball courts behind the SERF. The competition was intense. While playing HORSE, I was first out all 3 games, and Woodie second out. It was rough. In two on two, Dan and I beat Ida and Woodie, thanks to my height advantage. And in shooting around, we all had a fine time. We moved on to soccer, where Dan, Woodie, and I seriously exhausted ourselves while Ida took a break. So that was tons of fun.
In other sports news, the NBA playoffs have sure been great this year. Some of you may recall my posts about the playoffs last year. They turned me into an NBA fan. And this year, they’ve been even better. I personally have been cheering for any underdog team, unless that underdog team is playing the Dallas Mavericks, my favorite team. Those underdogs have put up some good fights, including Cleveland taking Detroit to a Game 7 (only to lose). It’s been a great series so far. Let’s all cheer on the Mavericks tonight in their Game 7 against the Spurs.
That just about wraps things up on this end. Not much else going on as I wait to hear about jobs and such. It’s been a pretty dull weekend, and I hope that that can continue right on into this week.
