Movies:
I went to see Saw II Sat. night...much better than I was expecting. Great psychological thriller for sure...with a dash of blood...ok, ok...maybe more than a dash. Tobin Bell is excellent as the demented Jigsaw serial killer, and the twist-ed ending is wonderful and gels completely. The opening scene with the guy trying to cut his eyeball out to save himself from Jigsaw's "game" is probably the most disturbing scene in the film. I was anxious throughout the movie, which is what I crave from a good thriller/horror flick. This is not just another gore movie, but it's definitely not for the squeamish.
I took the above photo on Berkshire in Ann Arbor, kinda near the Arboretum, yesterday. Yesterday was such a wonderful day to be outside, and I spent quite a bit of time in and around the Arb...lots of beautiful sights to behold. Sierra at least humored me...well, she didn't have much choice, I guess... It was a great father-daughter bonding experience. And the temperature was nice as well...60 degrees...sigh...that's perfect in my book.
Sports:
The Wolverines picked up their 3rd win in a row Sat. night, giving the Wildcats a few good slashes on their home turf. 33-17 Up next is Indiana on Nov. 12th, then the big season-closing game vs. Ohio State. GO BLUE!!!!
Stupid is as Stupid Does Update:
Bush just loves causing waves, doesn't he? Well, wouldn't you if you were used to swinging around in trees all day looking for bananas? Another stellar Supreme Court nominee, eh? Way to try to bring both parties together, Curious George...it will be interesting to see if ultra-conservative Alito makes it. Filibuster, anyone?
