Called in sick. Oh wait, I don't have a job. Snuggled in bed until 11.

Matt and I watched "King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters," an excellent documentary about competitive video gaming. It's a classic David v. Goliath story, of a diehard King Kong gamer who tries to unseat the World Champion. I saw it in the movie theater when it originally came out, and it was just as good the second time around.

"Who would have guessed that a documentary about gamers obsessed with scoring a world record at Donkey Kong would not only be roaringly funny but serve as a metaphor for the decline of Western civilization?"- Rolling Stone
