A shower a Day...

Keeps the testosterone away.

Went to my friends Baby Shower today and had an enjoyable time.  Yes it's a baby shower, so it's a bunch of women sitting around talking about babies, but this was very painless.  Always enjoy spending time with his family, they're real good people.

Big day tomorrow.  Brunch with my ex and my first writing class at 2nd city.  Not sure which is making me more nervous.  Hah!  This is the week I need to buckle down and get some serious work done on the writing, as my "workload" is about to triple, with the two classes.  Not sure the kind of homework levels will be involved, but at any rate, I need to act on it. 

MotD: Underworld - Rise of the Lycans
Watching this now, so no real opinion, instead I'll discuss the series as a whole.  Fun concept, I've enjoyed the previous two, but as many of these movies go, they often get too wrapped up in their own mythology and it's rare that the mythology is very interesting.  Matrix, I'm looking at you.  Instead of focusing on delivering a fun, action movie with crazy vs. fights, scenes are spent showing the backstories of how certain people came to power and really who gives a flying fuck?  Christ, look at the Star Wars prequels.  There is no other more beloved modern fable than Star Wars, this cannot be disputed, and yet all the "political" backstory just kinda blew ass.  Just as filmmakers have been told not to lose story in special effects, they should also remember not to lose entertainment within exposition.
