Everyone gets to be in a bad movie now and then (unless you&#8217;re William H. Macy, who seems to have impeccable taste), but Vin&#8217;s sort of been on a bad spree these days.  I&#8217;m hoping that he&#8217;s simply trying to make as much money as possible with Hollywood &#8220;money films&#8221;, so that he&#8217;ll be able to soon put his real genius to work in the director&#8217;s chair, or perhaps as a producer.  With some cunning investing, it might not be far off!  And if this were, in fact, true, it would almost, almost be a good excuse for starring in this movie.  But not quite.  He&#8217;s still pretty <a href=\"http:\/\/vdg.bitdark.com\/gallery\/thumbnails.php?album=topn&amp;cat=0\">cool<\/a> though.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to watch <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/trailers\/miramax\/sin_city\/\">Sin City<\/a> at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cinerama.com\/experience.html\">Cinerama<\/a> in Seattle this weekend, as part of my birthday movie theater marathon.  I&#8217;ll be twenty-five on April 2!  Fanfare!  Fireworks!  Huzzah!  I&#8217;m really not <i>that<\/i> excited.  Honest.  I am that excited about watching this movie at this theater though.  It&#8217;s going to be the absolute best movie experience I have ever had and will ever have in my life, ever.  I don&#8217;t set my expectations high or anything.  Should be fun though.  Also as part of the movie theater marathon experience, we may check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mcmenamins.com\/index.php?loc=58&amp;id=479\">Olympic Club Theater<\/a> in Centralia, in which you can eat food while you enjoy a film, and\/or one of the historic <a href=\"http:\/\/www.landmarktheatres.com\/Market\/Seattle\/NeptuneTheatre.htm\">Landmark Theaters<\/a> in Seattle.  And of course, we may stop in at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.olyfilm.org\/\">Capitol Theater<\/a> here in Olympia, or the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rosetheatre.com\/\">Rose Theatre<\/a> if we make it up to Port Townsend.  So many good theaters, so little time.  I&#8217;m such a movie geek, too.<\/p>\n<p>In swing dance news, we are mostly trying to work on learning the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnl.salk.edu\/%7Erob\/strutters\/movies\/Big_Apple.ram\">Big Apple<\/a>.  It&#8217;s a fun, zany line dance sort of thing, but it&#8217;s tough to learn!  In two weeks, we&#8217;ve gotten maybe halfway through it.  It&#8217;ll be a lot of fun, though, once we can bust it out at the dance some week.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for now.  I&#8217;ve been so dang busy (busy having fun, mind you, the best kind) that I&#8217;ve been finding it tough to blog.  I&#8217;ll try to be more prolific, and consistent.
