Cut That City

so last week was spring break. did pretty much nothing. the end.

well... actually, on friday i got hit super hard with a cold and almost didnt go to work, except for the fact that it was Nicole's last day and i wanted to say goodbye. i gavce her a hug when i left... i hope thats all i gave her :-/when i got back home i went straight to bed and slept for a really long time.

saturday morning i spent restin since i was scheduled to make my weekly (or so) trip down to the city. actually, i hadnt gone down in a while and it was nate's birthday, so i figured i should make an appearance. his sister, lyla, made all the arangements for what we decided we would do for his birthday, which was similar to what we did for mine, which was dinner and a movie... only not in that order. this time we did the movie fist, it was Sin City. more on that later. then we went to Denny's for dinner (pretty much cuz it was the only place still open). after that we headed over to lyla's house for cake and board games. well... Epic Duels to be precise, which is a cool Star Wars Board/Card game. it sounds weird but its really fun and easy to pick up. after a few games of that, we went our seperate ways. Nathan, Crystal and I ended up crashing at Nathan's friend Daniel's house.

sunday was lunch, chinese food. good times. interesting food. interesting service. ithen we went to a mall where nathan looked for some stuff, but not before my nose inexplicably started bleeding. when we got back to the car, it started bleeding again, this time from the other side. then both nostrils were spewing blood. it was creepy. basically i stuffed my nose full of tissue and went to his house where i cleaned up a bit and replenish my nose plugs. ken joined us and we watched The Proffesional which nathan got for his birthday. it was a great flick. after that i went home. and thats pretty much my weekend.

as for Sin City..... HOLY SHIT. not only was that movie just plain good story wise, it was visually awesome. on several occasions could one have taken a freeze frame and the frame could very well have been taken right out of a comic book. the parts were perfectly executed by the cast, even Jessica Alba.... who was mroe than just nice to look at. if i had to compare it with other films, id say it was a cross between the Maltese Falcon, Sky Captain, and Kill Bill. and i'll tell you why. Maltese Falcon because it is obviously a Noir style film.... or more specifically a film based on a noir style comic..... which yields a noir style film. anyways, Sky Captain, because it successfully takes another medium (in this case a noir style black and white comic) and brings it beautifully to modern film. and Kill Bill because of the nonstop uncensored asskicking that occurs throughout the movie. that being said, there is nothing else like this movie. it is so unique and so perfectly executed, it was like i when i was little and would read a comic book and would imagine the comic play out in live action...... this was what i imagined. sorta. i ddint read Sin City when i was a kid. :-) if you havent seen it yet, go see it. if you have, go see it again.
