300, My Missing Camera, and the Army Ten Miler
This past week Nick and I went to go see 300, thanks to chris, who hooked me with some free movie passes. I hadn’t read that much about the movie, but I did know that it was based on a comic by Frank Miller, who also did Sin City. I hoped it would be good because it was hyped up a lot and also I enjoyed Sin City (even though I felt really dirty after seeing it). I was not let down. 300 is the story about the king of Sparta, Leonidas, leading 300 of his best warriors to protect Sparta from the attack of the Persians. The movie lasted a short 2 hours and was filled with really violent battle scenes and highly stylized cinematic scenes. I thought that the movie very entertaining. Maybe even more entertaining than even *gasp*, The Gladiator. Some might say that statement is sacrilegious, but I will be adding this one to my DVD collection once it comes out. Go see it while it’s still in theaters.
Also this past week, I had been missing my camera since Sunday. I’ve since found it (in the armrest of my car of all places), but for those few days, I really started to worry. With the redesign of this site, and my ever-renewing interest in Flickr I felt a little empty not posting something new on Flickr. Don’t worry, that will change by this weekend. There will be many pictures to be taken between Dave coming to town, April’s birthday party, and an Okay Samurai jam session on Sunday.
And finally, the Army Ten Miler registration has opened up. The race is less than six months away on October 7th this year, and I received an email from Andrew seeing if we wanted to run it again this year, but I still haven’t decided. I really enjoyed it last year, and I did better than I thought I was going to. I’ll decide and sign up by this weekend when I hang out with the guys. If nothing else, it’ll give me something to blog about. Pictures from last year are here: Army Ten Miler Set on Flickr.
