21...

So we watched 21 last night. Hmmm. On the one hand, I thought the performances were good, with the exception of one of the most tight-lipped screen kisses that I have ever seen. Setting that aside though, the plot left a little something to be desired. Maybe I'm more deviant than I thought, but it just seemed like there were a million better ways to run the scam (essentially a team approach to counting cards during blackjack). And perhaps the main problem was that these students were from MIT and hence, supposed to be uber-smart, that I kept saying out loud, "Why are they not switching up the cities they're in?" "Why are they winning big every time? They have got to lose sometimes (opportunity costs) so they don't. get. caught." "Why go for the super-big win that's going to draw attention when you could just go smaller & totally be less conspicuous."

And then it came out that Kevin Spacey's character was skimming 50% off the top & I was like, "For MIT students, y'all are dumbasses." I would've gotten rid of him long, long before. Because 50%? That's crazy.

Anyway, enough about that...today was a five-star day because I finished a new paper and got it submitted. Whoop! whoop! Am going out with my bff for a celebratory dinner, yay! As for the rest of the weekend, I'm hoping to hit the farmer's market in the morning & see Vicky Christina Barcelona later in the weekend.

Happy weekend!
