Gran Bambino

Right now John is complaining that his fingers smell like weed. He has theorized that our neighbors must be smoking out right now, and that their smoke must be seeping through our vents...and making a B-line straight for his fingers?

Anyway, tonight John and I saw The Wrestler at the alamo downtown. I was initially excited about this because I've been in desperate need of a new alamo event calendar booklet (I hate using their website; it's so oddly organized) - more to come on that in a sec. However, I really did enjoy the film, probably only because of the main character played by Mickey Rourke, who was fucking awesome in the film. I think I may like wrestling now.

By the way, after seeing all the short trailers for Gran Torino, I doubt another trailer exists that could make me take a film less seriously than I take this one. It almost seems like a spoof trailer. It has this sort of "grr, get off my lawn" *point crooked finger in shape of gun* feel to it. Ridiculous! But it must be captivating *some* slice of humanity since it seems to be selling out everywhere.

Ok, so, the part I've been waiting for - Alamo event calendar. I have the familiar problem of seeing too many good things going on there. Hopefully alamo won't leave me broke!

• Girlie Night: Mean Girls with special cocktails! (13th)
• Anchorman quote-along! (15th, 22nd, & 29th)
• 90's Pop Princess sing-along (also 15th, 22nd, 29th, & Feb 5th)
• Master Pancake: Pretty Woman (16th & 17th)
• Super Happy Fun Monkey Bash (17th & 28th) - yay japanese wackiness!
  
• Master Pancake: The Matrix (23rd & 24th, 30th & 31st, 6th & 7th, 20th & 21st, 27th & 28th)
• Master Pancake: Choose your own movie (25th) - could be good?
• Saturday Morning Cartoon Cereal Party (7th) - this time they're showing Care Bears, Thundercats and She-Ra!
  
• Sickest Fucking Stories (8th) - is it weird that I think this looks interesting?
• Three different valentine feasts! Out of the three, I would go with Annie Hall, but Romeo + Juliet and Casablanca don't sound bad either. However, with each film is a specialized feast, and New York cuisine is a fav of mine.
• Academy Awards: Red Carpet Bash & Feast (22nd) - this looks absolutely amazing.
• Hey Homo!: Top Gun (24th)
• The No Shame sing-along (26th)

See what I mean?! Too many things! There are a few things on here that John isn't too keen about, so hopefully I can find some other people to drag along.
