yendiSaw a sneak preview tonight with four people who don't have LJs, which may be the most non-LJ folks I've hung out with outside of work in a long time.
The movie was good -- Michael Mann is one of my heroes, and I'm one of the few people I know who doesn't harbor some special loathing for Tom Cruise. Jamie Foxx was also amazing. There were also some interesting cameos -- Debi Mazar, Jason Statham, etc. Plot-wise, there were some holes, but it was still a solid action movie, and much more real in terms of the effects of bullets and other stuff. Mann's use of music, of course, is also fun. Definitely worth watching.
Then I came home and watched the first of the two World Series of Poker episodes, and found my hatred for humanity restored, as the announcers continue to be the most annoying announcers in the history of everything. C-rate wrestling announcers are less annoying.
But at least the Mets won (too little, too late).
And our Westfield order came! I'm too tired to read everything (Identity Crisis #2 will wait until tomorrow, alas), but I read a few books. And we got a preview of DC's CMX line!
Tomorrow: School registration for Elayna! Woohoo!
Now: Bed.
