Guest Success
It was great to see the Lakers finish up their road trip out East with a victory against the New York Knicks this morning. Kobe poured in 39 points and became the 31st player to reach 20,000 career points along the way. Although Purple and Gold blew a big lead and made it a nail-biter at the end, a win’s a win and hopefully they can make it three in a row with Tuesday’s home contest against Phoenix. The New York Giants clinched a spot in the NFL postseason after a snowy 38-21 battle against the Buffalo Bills so, as a fan of those two franchises, today’s been a total success so far. Even the imposing task of holiday shopping on the Sunday before Christmas was handled deftly by a brief visit to the Hallmark store across Wilshire. With one or two more gifts to pick up, I’m hardly in the clear but feeling a whole lot better about my prospects of making it in time as the final few won’t be opened until December 26th anyway.
For today’s movie review Wear & Tear would like to welcome our very own Arresting Officer to give us her impression of the police action comedy Hot Fuzz:
“With the title Hot Fuzz I expected someone on screen to be at least as sexy as me, but no such luck. What it lacked in handcuffs and nightsticks, it made up for in laughs which were so riotous it was almost criminal. The two stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost weren’t as hot as Martin Lawrence and Will Smith in Bad Boys II, a movie this is gleefully patterned after, but I’d welcome them into my station for a little pat down search and interrogation anytime. So do whatever it takes – cop a plea if you have to – and see Hot Fuzz on DVD, you won’t regret it.”
While I’m sure it already seems like winter in the rest of the country, it’s another typically clear, sunny, and relatively warm day here in Los Angeles. So, it’s high time to go out and savor it because flying East on Christmas can be compared to vacationing inside a freezer. Until tomorrow, thanks for reading and enjoy the rest of the weekend. Also a special thanks to our Arresting Officer for her contribution, we hope to have many more guest reviews to come so come back and refresh at Wear & Tear.
