We have a dodgeball team at work that’s been playing together for a few seasons. Good times. Last night was this season’s playoffs (we came in second place). Here are some lessons learned from last night and other evenings past:

When attempting to catch a ball, don’t reach for it. Let it come to you. It’s a lot easier to catch after the ball after it hits you squarely in the chest. If you’re attempting to catch a ball that has ricocheted off someone else, or was deflected by your teammate with another ball, dive, jump, and try to catch it in a spectacular fashion. Don’t be afraid to fall into a barrel roll after you hit the ground.
Aim low. Higher balls are easier to catch, head shots are against the rules.
Super tall tube socks are great.
Don’t forget to stretch. Before and after, you’re not as young as you used to be.
Definitely go for drinks afterwards. The beers, wings, and french fries will definitely hit the spot. When you get home, have some pistachio ice cream. It’s what’s for dinner.

I would also like a hover house.

“I really like her,” he said followed by a swift bite into his first curry puff. There were only two.

“And you should. She’s really great. Don’t fuck it up.”

He nodded his head in agreement and finished his first puff.

“I’ll try not to.”

I sipped a spoonful of soup. Tom Yum. The right amount of sour, I stirred around looking for a piece of chicken.

He took a bite of his second puff. And then, a revelation.

“I have a crush on the girl that I’m dating.”

We both stopped eating, for only a second, and smiled.

“Yeah…”

He finished his second puff. I enjoyed my soup. There was more chicken in the bowl than I thought there would be.

We devoured our entrees shortly after they were placed on our table. Still hungry we ordered a post main course appetizer. Spring rolls, two apiece. We should have ordered more.

I had the giant, hardcover book adaptation of this movie when I was a kid. It was actually my brother’s but I used to carry it with me everywhere around the house and read it over and over and over again. I tried so hard to protect the book jacket, but eventually a piece of the back tore off. I felt pretty bad about that. Oh well, I think my brother still has the book. It’s a classic, and so is the movie.

Great opening titles too.

The decision to eat ice cream and watch tv instead of going to the gym after dinner was definitely the right idea tonight. Why? The ice cream was pistachio and Empire Records was on.

It may be a bit early to start announcing “Best of 2009” lists, but Darwyn Cooke’s ‘Parker: The Hunter’, ‘Asterios Polyp’ and ’Scott Pilgrim vs. the Universe’ made the list. All quality books.

Very cool - thanks for sharing! The children’s books list is a good read too.

During this, Inigo has gone close to FEZZIK, 
who is very distressed at the insults he's 
just received. As Inigo casts off.

		INIGO
		(softly)
	That Vizzini, he can fuss.
		(a slight emphasis on
		the last word)

		FEZZIK
		(looking at Inigo)
	... fuss ... fuss ...
		(Suddenly, he's got it
		again, emphasis on the
		last word.)
	I think he likes to scream at us.

						12.

		INIGO
	Probably he means no harm.

		FEZZIK
	He's really very short on charm.

		INIGO
		(proudly)
	Oh, you've a great gift for rhyme.

		FEZZIK
	Yes, some of the time.
		(he starts to smile)

		VIZZINI
		(whirling on them)
	Enough of that.

As they sail off, we hear their voices as 
the boat recedes.

		INIGO
	FEZZIK, are there rocks ahead?

		FEZZIK
	If there are, we'll all be dead.

		VIZZINI
	No more rhymes now, I mean it.

		FEZZIK
	Anybody want a peanut?

Duck: Hey, Jay.
Me: Five Guys is good.
Duck: This is true.
Me: They have Mr. Pibb too.
Duck: That's cool but I've always been more partial to Dr. Pepper.
Me: That's cuz you're elitist. Just kidding! You're the best.
Duck: And you're a mess.
