Musings

- Watched Kramer vs Kramer the other day. Good movie? yeah. Best Picture of 1979? Nah. It had a semi-goofball ending, but given the wacky nature of people, I suppose it's semi-pausible.

- Been watching a lot of Melrose Place in the last month. It kinda makes me glad that I'm single (kinda) because the women on the show fall into 3 categories: whiny & irrational, bitch and crazy, psycho bitch.


- After EliteXC's saturday night fights, what did I learn about Kimbo Slice:

Has decent punching power
Takedown defence is somewhat lacking
Poor cardio
A bit clueless on his back and a very loose half-guard that's going to lead to someone easily mounting him

But since this was his 3rd fight and he has no amateur background, I suppose he's doing just OK.

- in north america, Kimbo Slice is more well known than either Fedor Emelianenko or Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Sad but true.
