Back From Kansas

Whew, it's great to be back home. I had fun staying with an old friend, but was definitely looking forward to continue breaking in my somewhat new car again and bein on my comp, checkin blogs and CR vids, etc. Saw a lot of movies, none of which were bad. I'll start with my fav movies I saw and work downwards: Harry Potter #5, Thank You for Smoking, Harry Potter #4, The Departed, and I'm probably missing another movie but w/e. Harry Potter #5 was best Potter movie since first one. It got rite to the point and I do like the more mature theme the series has adapted. Thank You for Smoking was a very unique and interesting movie, filmed from a very unique perspective. It was an interesting and unique movie, and I hope more movies are made as sort of documentaries with fictional characters but realistic events. I also purchased the new and last :-( Harry Potter book that will ever be published. I read it in two days, 1/3 of which on my 2.5 hour plane ride. I'd say that tied for the best Harry Potter book to date, with #5, imo. The end (hopefully this doesn't spoil it) had closure, which I thought was crucial since obviously there would be no more Harry Potter books after this one. I'm a big fan of the movies and the books, though by no means do I obsess about it. 98% of the people I saw at borders looked Batshit crazy; 30% pedofiles, 65% of weird pale kids dressed up in costumes, and the other 5% normal people who didn't wear suspenders and other nerd attire. Very good book and entertaining for the plane, cannot wait for the next two movies. I'm pretty sure they will have the most action, and probably the most engaging plot twists to date.

On the brief poker note- played a bit in Kansas, tought my friend the basics (mainly raising ranges and bet sizes), which has helped his game drastically but he still has much to learn. I unfortunately only played a bit live for money that I could give a shit less about. I'm itching for the live game and hoping it comes soon.
