I know the new Chamillionaire song is brutal (is there an 'old' Chamillionaire song?). But I love it. It kinda reminds me of when 50 Cent came out with Wanksta. That's another really bad song, but I love it just the same. They're like the Exit Wounds of music.
My work had an employee appreciation day on friday in Toronto. We got $50, all the BBQ we could eat and played some ultimate frisbee, touch football, soccer, basketball and tug of war. It was all fun and games at the time, but oh man I was hurting the next day. I haven't run around like a fool that much since...ummm...a long damned time ago. Then there was a poker tournament at night, but I didn't stick around for it cause I had to get back to Guelph for...
The Da Vinci Code. I won't give away any plot points of the movie or the book so if you haven't seen or read either it's safe to continue. Overall I liked the movie. The stuff they took from the book translated well onto the screen. But like all movies based on a book, the book is way better. Everything that got cut I assume was done for time constraints but it also changes the flow of the story which kinda takes away from the overall adventure that the book brings out. Tom Hanks was okay in the staring role, somehow I pictured Robert Langdon to be both scruffier and nerdier then the way it was played though. But don't ask me to explain that further cause I really don't even know what I'm talking about. Oh and the very ending of the movie made me mad, but I won't write about it here so e-mail me or hit MSN if you wanna bitch about it too.
Before The Code started I got to see a preview for Casino Royale. I still don't know how I feel about Daniel Craig, but if the preview is any indication, I won't care. Hot women and stuff blowing up, that's what James Bond is all about.
The World Cup of soccer starts on friday (I think) and I'm actually starting to get kind of excited about it. Plus yahoo has a pool so at least I'll be following it. Since there are only 2 of us in my golf pool I didn't bother making a soccer one, but if anyone is interested we could throw one together quickly enough.

You liked the movie? I didn't like it too much. I agree, though, they did stay true to the book, which was kind of why the acting seemed crappy - I liked the book, but moreso for the story (and definitely not for the dialogue).
My friend and I were laughing hysterically at the lecture Robert Langdon/Tom Hanks was giving at the beginning of the movie. Does that really happen in lectures? Not the ones that I go to.
