"No Jews Were Harmed in the Making of This Movie"

Missed mentioning this last week, but it looks like some of the scenes from an upcoming movie will be at the bar half-a-block from our house.

As for this week:

Exercise: Current lifting routine progresses, ran 30 mins. at 5 mph, went for my annual physical and was 21 lbs. lighter than a year ago.

Anime club on Friday: Saw the first few episodes of Umineko no Naku Koro Ni, which seemed rather bad (way too many of the characters are horribly annoying, idiots, or both).

Saturday evening: Went downtown with Ginneh and DJ, couldn't go bar crawling because Ginneh forgot her ID, got ice cream instead. Came back home, watched Batman Beyond.

Sunday Night Film Club: Saw A Serious Man. A bit like a comedic version of Pi (but not really), very like an extremely Jewish version of The Big Lebowski. Relevant things about it not clear from the previews: It contains a lot of humor that leans on Jewish cultural references, only some of which are explained. The movie itself is the sort of story that drives serious, answer-seeking people (like the protagonist) a bit crazy. It's a Jewish stoner movie.
