yesterday was a fun day. first, i went to a taping of celebrity jeopardy. our contestants were harry shearer, isaac mizrahi, and soledad o'brien. while i'm sure it's easiest to guess who was the most fun (and who seemed to have the greatest trouble with the buzzer), 1,001 points to the person who guesses the winner (and remember, this is jeopardy). alex looked good, though i'm saddened by the loss of the stache, even though he says he can grow it back anytime he wants...
and then last night i went to see "the departed" with the same friend that saw the original "infernal affairs" with me. while i definitely preferred the original, i really enjoyed this movie. obviously, it's an unfair bias, since the suspense of the story was already known to me, the original was a tighter film. but, all the actors were good (and, for a non-leo-lover to say that, is something), but mark wahlberg completely stole the show for me. his character was written with the most fun, so that's one thing, but he just played it with so much joy! the other thing that got me was the amount of gore and blood in this one... yes, it's a movie about the mafia, but still, it was a bit gratuitous.
ps: i realize i didn't mention the yanks... too disappointing to even think about, esp. now that they're saying torre is gonna get sacked...
