one tap for today: munich & poker

yesterday, we watched open water. pretty crazy movie. i kinda enjoyed the low budget aspect to it. it affirms things i already believe: the ocean is full of sharks that want to eat me; i hate large bodies of water, especially if they're dirty on top. after the movie, we went to kareoke. i had a blast. i usually do, but last night was a lot of fun. a bunch of people i knew were there, i sang with different people, by myself, and just had a great time. the only drawback was that my voice was shot about half way through the night. i kept singing though. today it's a wreck.

so, this afternoon i'm going to go see munich. i'm in for a nice, 2 hour and 44 minute depression. i've seen mixed reviews, so i'm going in expecting an intense drama, that may or may not be spielberg's best, that may or may not be too sterile. we'll see.

after the movie, i've got several friends coming over for a little poker game. should be a full table of 8, playing a little tournament style texas hold 'em. it'd be nice to win, but i doubt i win. my buddy woody is coming up from bakos, and he's a pretty serious card shark.

just wait till you see his wifey play. shell kick some ass and take some names (is that how that is said?).

In a tourney, you have to kick ass and take initials (going too fast for names)

the movie was good. more than i hoped for. the poker game didn't turn out as well. it went from looking like a full table of 8 to just three of us in a matter of hours. dang. but it was still fun, and we three had a good time.

i really am only disappointed about the game not turning out bigger because i could've invited some others, but thought it was full. then again, i planned it all very last minute so what can i expect.

the only thing that i didn't like about munich was the final shot, which ended with a view of the two towers. it seemed a little to blatant of an attempt to tie in american sentiment/nationalism/feeling with the munich situation.
