Ketchup.
All the stuff I thought I'd be doing on leave haven't quite panned out. I've taken a photo or two. Caught up with some old friends, and even ran into a few old foes. What's funny is they all have that same look on their face when they first see me. And they all say the same (fucking tired) line:"Damn, I thought the military would've bulked you up."
I finally got to catch Sin City the other day thanks to the efforts of my boy Biggie. He tracked down the only place that was still playing in the area, way out in Naperville. I really loathe the town but seeing the flick was well worth the trip. They'd started playing it back in Japan on base the very same day I flew back here, which, frankly, didn't suprise me. (My life tends to work like that.) Most excellent film. Not only is it well casted, but it manages to be completely comic book faithful and be an entertaining movie, which is quite a rarity. It's all pieced together Pulp Fiction style, with intertwining storylines. This has been a pretty good year for comic-based movies and it doesn't seem to be slowing down, what with Bats making a comeback and all.
In other news: The Cubs have been kicking all sorts of ass since I got back, but it's all been on the road. I hope they stay on the train they're on when they get back to Wrigley next week, when Me & Mo are in the stands throwing back Old Styles.
