Happy Birthday, brother. I didn't get a chance to say this to him since he was on a trip, but at least it's on record now.
Today, I racked up another easy win in fantasy football with a score of 113-60. It feels like half the players in my league don't even care, which is disappointing. It makes my wins feel empty. Since it's my first time playing though, I'll take whatever breaks I can get.
For this week, I employed the whoever defense on the Jags and it worked out splendidly. Had I gone with the Bengals, I would've been in a world of mild hurt. I might have to drop them with their back-to-back abysmal defensive efforts.
I finished up the rest of Boku wa Tomodachi Sukunai Next and I can't wait for the next season, and I'm only assuming there will be another because it ends on a semi-cliff hanger. I know it's based on a series of light novels but it seems to be a successful anime. Yozora's my main girl. Things got pretty heavy in the end for such a lighthearted show. The lighter the atmosphere, the more effective the heavy stuff is when it hits. I can dig it.
My horror selection for today was an obscure film (at least to American audiences) from Yugoslavia called Davitelj protiv Davitelja, or "Strangler vs Strangler." It was released in 1984. It's a dark comedy about a serial killer in the city of Belgrade. I can't really describe it. It's one of those movies you have to watch for yourself.
What defines a film connoisseur isn't their watching history, but rather, a willingness to watch anything. This is my first foreign selection for the month and it was good, at least for satisfying an academic curiosity. I pulled the title from IMDB's list of top horror movies, but since the minimum necessary to get on the board was 1000 votes, there are quite a few obscure titles in the top spots. There's no way I'd rank this above The Thing, but the voting setup favors the minority.
For the next couple days, it's nothing but foreign titles. Ain't a problem for me. I'm a subtitle reading master.
