"The Man Who Would Be King"

On watching The Man Who Would Be King:

Me: "This is exactly like Deal or No Deal!"
Mom: "They really should have taken the deal."

Spectacular film. Great adventure, great acting, great cosmic justice. Makes me want to read the short story; I do love me some Kipling after all.

Hobbies

I've been on a hunt for a hobby to counteract my boredom lately. This last month I tried knitting. I like it; it's addicting. But it doesn't get me out of the house.

I've been thinking about knife-throwing. There's a lot of positives to it...

1) it's cheap
2) throwing things is fun
3) gets me out of the house (this is #3 but it's still a big one)
4) improves my hand-eye coordination and aim, which could use the practice
5) one more step in my secret plan to become a ninja (last week I went indoor rock-climbing for the first time)
6) the more exercise my wrists get, the better for my continued health
