My 76ers went up against the Los Angeles Lakers yesterday night, for a Friday night showdown.  Kobe, back from a two-game suspension, decided to light up the scoreboard, making 19/29 shots, including 7/7 from downtown.  With a night like that from Kobe, it's hard for any opponent to win the game.  I was excited about the matchup anyhow, win or lose.

Aside from bball, I've been using GM a bit.  I made a small Japanese history quiz for a project in my Nihongo class.  It has twenty questions, and it's made so that two groups can play and compete.  Here's a screenshot to show what I mean:



The class had fun with it.  I divided us up into two sides, and each side had a Japanese student (we have two foreign exchange students) on their side.  I think the final score was 14 to 13 or something really close like that.

One last thing, if you haven't seen Hostel, than consider yourself lucky.  It'll leave you scarred for life, or atleast make you think twice before traveling to Europe.  I'm surprised this was in theatres, since the beginning is nothing short of a porno flick, and then what little torturing there is, it's just sick and twisted, not really scary to the audience.  Plus the main character is just an idiot... I'll leave it at that.  King Kong, though in a completely different category, is a much better movie.
