Had the flu so watched a few movies. Primer: if you saw PI and liked it you will like this. Ezrats is a nerd and will likely enjoy it, so is Pra. I suggest you guys save gas and ride is Ezrats Element to rent and watch it together. Second movie was Let the Right One In. Subtitled Swedish vampire movie. It is from a currently hip region and therefore whether he liked it or not Slim would say it was great. I found it to be a surprisingly sweet and entertaining movie despite my lack of cool.

I liked Goldsworthy better before I saw the movie. What an old crank.

re-watched that made for TV movie "The Day After". Dated, probably a lot of inaccuracies, but still gets the message across. Went to bed feeling bummed.

Modern Collective is the best non-Lost surf video ever. It's filmed in an artistic style akin to the few good Transworld skate vids. Shoot, any decent artistic element is a relief for a surf vid. Also, I was previously under the impression that pro surfers refuse to be filmed unless they're guaranteed the music will suck. This exception had a pretty good track to it if you enjoy house music.
