Absolute Justice

I FINALLY cut my nails for the 1st time since I got that pedicure and manicure in the Philippines (see entry 1/4/10) exactly 1 month ago! Wow, a whole month! I don't have to angle my fingertips weirdly anymore when trying to take out my contacts.

I busted open the knuckle on my right index finger while punching bareknuckle in Krav Maga today. Today's instructor was a nice guy, but for some reason he thought my name was James even after we introduced ourselves. Actually, James is my middle name.

New drills:

• We would throw continuous left-right punches, but sprawl when the instructor said so. Maintain eye contact while sprawling
• 2 rows of people holding tombstone pads form a guantlet. We must run through the gauntlet, execute continuous knee strikes to the padholder on the right, and then continuous punches to the 1 on the left. Repeat. Someone actually got kneed in the groin. Whoops.

Nothing else new.

And then it was time: a 2-hour episode, or made-for-TV-movie, of Smallville entitled Absolute Justice that debuted the Justice Society of America!

• Hawkman, Star Girl, and Doctor Fate.
• The rest of the Society - such as The Flash and Green Lantern - appeared in cameos as flashbacks.
• Other Justice League members appear in cameos as pics.
• J'onn J'onzz, a.k.a. The Martian Manhunter, returns and regains his powers.

I was freakin' geaking out!

Afterward, I had to visit Dave (the high school teacher, not to be confused with rockstar Dave) at some comedy gig. The bartender from his Birthday party actually remembered I had screwdrivers (vodka and orange juice) last time. Dave bought me 2 of those.
