This morning was an unusual day at work. When I got to work I was told that I had to go home as did everyone else who showed up. Apparently, they were having some kind of a computer problem that not only impacted us but also India. India is where my company out sources some of their work.

There was nothing for me to do but turn around like everyone else and head back home. One of the Supervisors was nice enough to drive those of us who have to take the light rail up to the nearest station.

I immediately headed over to Walmart to buy my brother the brand of tennis shoes he wanted, Starter tennis shoes. Then afterwards I finally went home and watched Crash.

Crash is not the type of movie I would normally select to see from Netflix. Since it won for best picture I thought the least I could do is watch it. Overall, it was a pretty good movie. The performance I was most surprised by was Ludacris. My goodness Ludacris can act!

I am probably alone in this but at times I felt very annoyed by Thandie Newton's character. To me she cried way too much in this movie. So much that I had to fight back the urge to want to physically reach through the screen and bitch slap her around a couple of times. I swear it felt almost as if she was anglinging for an Academy Award nomination with that performance.

The best two performances in this movie by far were those of my man, Terrence Howard and Matt Dillon. Ok, I like Terrence Howard in anything. I have yet to see a movie with him in it where he does a horrible acting job. The man can act his ass off. Matt Dillon, however, I am not that familiar with. I think the last movie I can recall seeing Matt Dillon in was, The Flamingo Kid. I know this may be hard to believe since Matt Dillon has been in the movie business for almost all his life. Dillons portrayal in the movie of a racist cop was both scary and believable. I can definelty say that his performance in the movie was worthy of the Ocsar nomination he got.
