Board Um

After spending most of the last week at home either playing piano or watching a movie, I've successfully bored myself enough to seriously consider going back to work on tomorrow's company holiday. However, only eleven of these are handed out a year so I'll force myself to lay low for one more day. I'll spend the next three hundred sixty or so days making things around me more awesome...it's better I rest now.

- New Years Eve this year was an indoor affair. Good times were spent among friends. Somewhere among shots of Whiskey, Jaeger and a visit to a 4am bar, I found myself seated at a piano pounding out chords to an entertained, but possibly annoyed livingroom. My camera took no pictures. This holiday gets the first official "[scene missing]" stamp in the photo archive. (Photobrog doesn't count)

- I awoke in 2005 feeling a little preserved. I could actually feel the aldehyde in my system. That's no way to feel. Alcohol is nobody's friend.

- For the second consecutive year, Spring came back to turn the calendar. It was warm and dry enough for a game of catch the other day. Fresh air and glove-snaps? I deem the break complete.

- This Will Ferrell vehicle cracked me up enough times to view it twice in less than 24 hours. Lots of moustaches.

- This movie was watched over a meal from Reza's during my detox night. Both were good.

- This chase movie intrigued me. The main character takes speed and eludes authorities through 3 states. The story is used a) to show cool car chase scenes and stunt driving; and b) to question what America seeks in a hero. I need to watch this a few more times.

- This pool movie is a good film as well. Jackie Gleason played off as one of the smoothest characters I have ever seen...and all he does is comb his hair and sink pool balls.

- This Wes Anderson film is another gem. I thought he took a high budget and made a film that stayed loyal to his fans. Not too many franchise directors can pull that off these days.

Yeah, I think those are all the movies I've watched in the past week...the 10 day break continues...a day too long for the bored and single.
