Well, Michelle's birthday drinks on Friday night was a big one. So much so that Saturday I was pretty exhausted and fell asleep watching the second half of the football. I'm on mid-semester break now and it feels weird.

'The Jerk' (1979) directed by Carl Reiner

This is a pretty silly comedy but it slowly grew on me as it went on. It has some genuinely funny gags and once I got into it, I started to enjoy it. Steve Martin does his Steve Martin shtick and it plays out like a cross between a Pee-Wee Herman movie and a Will Ferrell movie. You can definitely see how this film has influenced contemporary comedy films.
