Summertime...
by Josh Staiger
Ahh, this weekend really felt like a taste of summer. For one thing, the thermometer crossed 80 for the first time - and believe me it's damn hot right now.
On Friday night, I went to a Durham Bulls game (AAA baseball) with the guys. Adam, Steveo, Dave, and I bought a 9-game season ticket package at the beginning of the season. This was the first Bulls game I had been to, and it was a lot of fun. Our seats are great...and it's hard to beat baseball on a beautiful night. Fireworks after the game, too...
On Saturday, I played beach volleyball, which was a blast then went and saw Kill Bill Vol 2.
Oh yeah, and Ashish will be attending Duke for medical school! Excellent news! One more foot soldier in my scheme to drive out the accent and turn North Carolina into a Northern state. Things are going as planned. (Seriously though, congrats, Ashish!)
Kill Bill Vol 2: Quite different than the first one. It lacked the action and the gore, and a lot of the Kung Fu, but was still wicked cool nonetheless. David Carradine did a great job playing Bill, whose character turned out a lot different than I expected - but I liked it a lot. In fact, there were a lot of surprising things about this movie - a lot of themes that one wouldn't expect to see in a Tarantino movie (in stark contrast with the first movie, which was completely over the top), but it still had that undeniably cool style and spin to it. Quentin Tarantino is the man, and I think that Uma was even hotter this go around (if in fact that is at all possible).
Gastronomy: Tonight I made a sandwich of saut'ed bell pepper and onions. It was yummy.
