21, 23 to 24, Sore

Title is last night and today so far in a nutshell.

I went to see 21 last night with Caren. The movie was GREAT... until it slowed down for the build up to the climax. It was a pretty intriguing movie that broke a lot of the drama-streaks with comic relief. The part that slowed down had no comic relief, which is probably what made it feel like it was dragging on. That, and it was already after 11pm. The resolution was lame... I gotta admit. The music choice was horrendous at best. Opening music made me feel like I was watching a replay of an arcade game. It didn't really add to the situation... Especially since it was so bad it actually made you THINK of the music. The ending song... An opera group singing their rendition of the song "You can't always get what you want" by the Rolling Stones... RUINED!

Had our basketball game this morning. It was four of us against five of them... We beat them 37-10 last week with all our players present, so we were hoping of something akin to that. We were up 16 to 6 at Halftime, then I proceeded to screw up in the second half. A lot. Double dribbled once...two bad passes. Then I did my back in, so I'm now in a lot of pain where my spine meets my pelvis... Lower back for those who don't know anything about bones... It was terrible. It was almost the end of the second half and the score was 23 to 22 in the opponents favour. They drew a foul on Charles. He managed to get both shots in, bringing us up to 24 points. After that, it was a matter of keeping the ball off the opponent for the remaining 47 seconds left in the game. Once the ball got thrown out of court twice, we had the game. Ball was in our possession and they were down by 1. The buzzer rang. Game: Eclipse. It was kinda tough to deal with, only winning by one point. But we did only have four players, and considering how much I screwed up, we didn't do too badly.
