Mmm... shopping. Went on a bit of a double date with the Girl, which is to say we brought along Peter and Eric. No, they're not gay that I know of; they don't even dress particularly well. But there was shopping, and low, low prices at Rolling Stone. Transportation issues prevented me from visiting hospitalized Alex. Hang in there, you crazy bastard.

Now, back to rebutting Larsen:
Fruity? It's an EPIC, man. If you're looking for a fruity epic, go watch Spartacus. Frankly, the movie is going to be even better once it weighs in at four hours or so. Extended Edition is going to tie the story together a little more and add an extra helping of sweet, sweet carnage. The ending isn't as clean as it could be, but a little denouement never hurt anybody. Seriously, if you haven't seen the first two movies, you're not in a particularly good position to review it. It's called a trilogy for a reason.

Closing thought:
Kate: "You aren't one of those boys who tries to get his girlfriend to watch Lord of the Rings, are you?"
Me:"Er... um... not anymore."
