a little sore but plenty worth it

This past weekend, thanks to nicks effort, we got a snow football game going. We had a little cross country bad boys and Joe(really big star, big star, really big star) as Nick, Jason, ben, Pip, and I took on the brothers McCahill(joe, eddie, and kevin), erich, and texas dave. It was a bit cold but tromping around in boots and trying to call plays with a snow covered ball was priceless. I especially liked it when Jason yelled at me for drying off the football when team McCahill had possession. After the game was over I felt a little like a combination of this:


and this:



If you knew that was Laura Palmer I want to hang out and be good friends. It wasn't just me, everyone I knew from that game was aching for days afterwards. It hurt to sneaze. That either means we're all getting old or we're all getting out of shape. I prefer the latter.

Here's some music I've been liking lately:

Chris Bathgate: This kind of has pangs of Elliott Smith meets iron and wine. I like the strange breaks from acoustic. It strayed just far enough to perk my interest.

Marie Antoinette soundtrack: I actually saw this movie on accident(annie had it) and I have to say it was pretty decent. The soundtrack is very asthetically pleasing and has a very attractive cd cover. My favorite song is “The Melody Of A Fallen Tree” by Windsor For The Derby.

I've even seen a few movies lately

Everything is Illuminated: This movie was daunting to rent, as it was about nazi occupied Ukraine but I pushed through anyway. I very much enjoyed the blend of euro and new york languages. Very premium. Rent this movie it is very proximal.

Animation show 3: I went to see this at the music box, which if anyone hasn't gone to yet should do so in the most near future. It was below zero as we waited in line with my eticket printout and I thought we must just have to show our printout at the front desk. So we went to the front of the line which they did and we got sent us back to the end the line. Not only were we double the distance we started off in the line but somehow it managed to get colder, and I'm not including the coldness everyone showed me for losing our place in line. Once we got in it was pure candy, the show had one of the artists, Bill Plimpton, come out and introduce movie. My favorite cartoon short was everything will be okay by Don Hertzfeldt. Here is an example of some of his stuff.

Good to know I wasn't alone the few days after the game -- I felt ridiculously sore (cue Tommy making "sore" joke or Yishai making a pun out of something I just said).

There's something about trying to run in the snow and not fall over that my abdomen wasn't ready for.
