08 May 08 Movies, etc.
The last few days have been great weather and only about 90F or so.
Frankly it's not realy good running weather
until it is about 100F but that'll happen soon enough. Alot of people
are concerned that there's not enough
'off-work' stuff for soldiers/Civilian pukes to do over here. I don't
think that is the case at all. The Army gets
first rate movies as you can see from the recent movie schedule (pic
below). The movies are shown in a very nice
theater that even has a balcony and a red-velvet curtain. AND, like
most large buildings here, the theater is
'battle-hardened' on the side and from above (pics below). In-coming
mortar!? Eh, no problem, pass the popcorn
(free of course) and continue watching Iron-man! Of course, if you
don't want to watch a movie there is knife
fighting class (pic below) that is going fine. I've discovered that
much of knife-fighting is grace and right now I
still have the grace of a white guy at a black dance. Eh, hopefully it'll come.

So, is the knife fighting that you do called Kuntao Silat? When I was in Indonesia, I saw a demonstration and I was blown away.
There used to be that show on Discovery Channel where the two guys would travel the world to learn different forms of fighting. One of the episodes featured them learning Kuntao on Java.
Iron Man was a great movie... best superhero movie so far for me.
