It was a busy weekend. Friday was spent out at The Bear & Firkin in Pickering for Rich's birthday party (Rich being a player in my D&D group). On Saturday, friends Iris and Gord were in town, so I got to spend some time with them in the afternoon and at dinner at my parents' place. Then Rawl and I headed downtown to meet up with Brad (who I haven't seen in awhile) to check out amateur comedy night at ... oh, hell, what was the pub's name called? I don't remember. I just remember the food didn't set well with me. Bleh.

Come to think of it, the comedy didn't set well with me, either. The comedians just weren't very good. Still, it was a fun night out.

Last night, Jacquie and I stayed in and watched Kill Bill (both volumes), which was the first time we'd ever seen the movie (er ... movies?). I'm still trying to decide what I thought about Tarantino's latest effort. It was fun, but you had to buy a whole lot of things that just didn't make sense (like how the hell did The Bride travel with a sword on an airplane -- especially with the damn thing sitting next to her on the plane?). Suspension of disbelief was surely a must. For fight scenes and violence, though, Kill Bill ranks pretty far up the ladder of American martial arts movies, though. It beat the hell out The Matrix and its sequels.
