The Sweetest Thing...
Now, I like Cameron Diaz like most guys, but after seeing her in the "The Sweetest Thing" starring opposite Christina Applegate and Selma Blair, I hope she does NOT include this movie on her resume. I think this movie is intended to be a chick-flick. I usually can handle most of them, but this one was just horrible. From the scenarios and short musical spot, this movie is really bad. I do admit that there are some funny moments, but overall, it looks like the intended audience for this movie has to be the brain dead. Christina Applegate hasn't been in anything so big since her stint on "Married...With Children". Now she returns and appears to have had so much plastic surgery that she looks like a cat. Is she really that old? Did she really need to have all that work done? As for Selma Blair, I'm still trying to figure out who her agent is. I borrowed this movie from the library that has a plethora of current or new release DVDs. When I had seen the movie trailer, I thought that the movie looked quite interesting and would be funny. I was half right about that. It's just too bad it wasn't funny.

Strike It Up!
So I was finished work on Saturday and decided to chill with Tony since I had nothing else better to do. We originally aimed to vege out and watch a movie while eating KFC and drinking heinekins. Those plans changed when Serena came home. They were invited to go out and celebrate one of their college buddy's brother's 21st birthday. I figured I'd tag along because I wanted to get out of the house. So we all ended up going to this place on Long Island called, "STRIKE". It's a bowling/go-karts/dancing venue that is geared towards the twenty something to thirty something crowd. We met up with the "Scooby Doo" gang as they referred to themselves. Emilio, Jimmy and the birthday boy himself, Sergio. There was an hour wait until the next available bowling lane opened up so we chilled in the main area that was nicely decorated in the hippest and trendy club like designs. We all got Sergio some drinks to liquor him up. This place was amazing. There was a live deejay and an indoor go kart track. It could be labelled as a bowling alley with tonnes of extras, but I would say its pretty much a hip nightclub/bar that also has go karting and bowling! The people and the vibe were fantastic. I really enjoyed myself. When it was our time to bowl, we had a riot of a time watching the then drunken Sergio hit more pins than us who were sober. I ended my game with a lousy 76 or so, but I finished in second place! After the fun night out with the guys (and one girl), we made our way up to the exit. Tony and I checked out the dancing lounge that had a few hot girls dancing to 40 something year old guys who had absolutely NO GAME. I danced a little just to get it out of my system and then made my way to the exit. At the actual exit, there is a big glass window that overlooks the dancefloor. I was dancing facing the glass when this really hot girl looked up at me dancing and pointed to me. She smiled. Tony and Serena was beside me when she all of a sudden pulled her top down *flashing* us! I was in total shock! I wanted to go back down there and handle my business but the whole group was leaving! If I drove myself, I definitely would have stayed. But that's what happens when you have to depend on another ride.

After, we all went to the Omega Inn Diner to eat some food and relax. The food was quite quick and real good. I ordered a 6 oz beefburger combo with some root beer to wash it down. It was good, I can't say much about the TWO onion rings that came with the meal, they were umm.. different. Anyways, all in all it was good. Everyone piled together their monies and I went to handle the bill. I met the owner and for some odd reason, he asked if I spoke Greek. I told him that I didn't and that I used to speak a little that I learned in Canada at the Toronto Greek Festival. He then told me that he is a Greek citizen, Canadian citizen and American citizen. Then he started speaking french to me telling me that he used to live in Montreal. Wouldn't you know it? I understood him and even spoke back to him in french. It was a cool refresher for those classes I took all those years. I had a great time and I hope to go back to "STRIKE" soon!
