saw the movie crash last night after much urging from some coworkers and friends, and oh boy is that one a head full. great film. i wouldn’t say i loved it but i would say you shouldn’t miss it. i won’t go off on much of a review mostly for the exact reason i liked it: it’s a great discussion piece. hence, me writing my thoughts in a vacuum would sort of defeat the purpose without a dialogue. i’d love to talk about it though once you all go out and see it. very good. and bravo to ludacris for showing some heart, huh?

tonight i have my sights on somehow sneaking in to the sold out bloc party show at the el rey. i figure since i tried to buy a real ticket, and the venue’s only a few blocks from my apartment, there are really no moral or logistical barriers to at least giving it a try. maybe i can make friends with a big burly filipino guy in the process. i just don’t want to miss them again because you know those british bands, sometimes it’s a while before they swing back through the states. and i was really looking forward to hearing them tear through a couple of their more rocking songs on stage, too. [pay day was monday but whatever, you know?]

so if that doesn’t happen who knows, maybe i’ll catch up on some tivo. i do have that they might be giants documentary to watch, and there’s not much cooler than that to be doing on a friday night, for sure.
