Why, Vin, Why!?

This makes me die inside. Everyone gets to be in a bad movie now and then (unless you’re William H. Macy, who seems to have impeccable taste), but Vin’s sort of been on a bad spree these days. I’m hoping that he’s simply trying to make as much money as possible with Hollywood “money films”, so that he’ll be able to soon put his real genius to work in the director’s chair, or perhaps as a producer. With some cunning investing, it might not be far off! And if this were, in fact, true, it would almost, almost be a good excuse for starring in this movie. But not quite. He’s still pretty cool though.

I’m going to watch Sin City at the Cinerama in Seattle this weekend, as part of my birthday movie theater marathon. I’ll be twenty-five on April 2! Fanfare! Fireworks! Huzzah! I’m really not that excited. Honest. I am that excited about watching this movie at this theater though. It’s going to be the absolute best movie experience I have ever had and will ever have in my life, ever. I don’t set my expectations high or anything. Should be fun though. Also as part of the movie theater marathon experience, we may check out the Olympic Club Theater in Centralia, in which you can eat food while you enjoy a film, and/or one of the historic Landmark Theaters in Seattle. And of course, we may stop in at the Capitol Theater here in Olympia, or the Rose Theatre if we make it up to Port Townsend. So many good theaters, so little time. I’m such a movie geek, too.

In swing dance news, we are mostly trying to work on learning the Big Apple. It’s a fun, zany line dance sort of thing, but it’s tough to learn! In two weeks, we’ve gotten maybe halfway through it. It’ll be a lot of fun, though, once we can bust it out at the dance some week.

That’s it for now. I’ve been so dang busy (busy having fun, mind you, the best kind) that I’ve been finding it tough to blog. I’ll try to be more prolific, and consistent. Oh, and if anyone wants to buy me a birthday present … *wink wink*
