Bachelor Party!!!!

Emily is Las Vegas for the weekend. As I have blogged about before, when she's gone, I see what I can do to re-live the bachelor days, but end up being really bored and missing my wife. I did have a pizza and potato chips for dinner last night and watched the Timberwolves on TV, and that was very satisfying.

Today I found a way to take of advanage of being Emily-less. I picked a movie she would be reluctant to go to. I had at my disposal 21 Grams and Monster. But I chose to be in Las Vegas spiritually with Emily and opted for The Cooler.

Good movie with some great acting. William H. Macy, Maria Bello, and (no joking) Alec Baldwin all played characters that really suck you in. The script depended on quality acting, or it would have been run-of-the-mill. I say they pulled it off. As an aside Ron Livingston (the male lead from Office Space) also has a big role, but I couldn't stop thinking of his role as an Initech stiff, so I couldn't take him seriously.

One more thing: it really made Las Vegas look like a depressing city, making it a little easier to forget that I'm missing out on all the fun Emily and Co. are having in Las Vegas.
