Movies, potholes, and jazz piano

I went to the movies Thursday night to see the new movie "I Love You, Man" starring Paul Rudd and Jason Segel. This has to be the best movie I've seen since "Role Models", which coincidentally also stars Paul Rudd. I don't think five minutes went by without me laughing. I think this may be my new favorite movie. I would definitely recommend seeing it. 

Also on Thursday I heard the news that KFC has given Louisville KY $3000 to fill in about 350 potholes. In exchange, KFC gets the right to put advertisements on the filled in holes. However, considering the type of paint they are using for these ads, they are only expected to last about two weeks before the traffic will rub them off completely. I would say this is a good idea for a company who wants to help out their community. 

And finally, I want to talk about Eric Lewis. He is a jazz pianist who uses the raw emotion of alternative rock songs to create stunning jazz renditions of the songs. My first encounter with his music was when I came across the video below showing his version of Evanescence's Going Under and as you might imagine after watching it, I wasn't too impressed. Maybe that song is just too experimental for me and I just don't "get it", but there are parts of it that I like so I decided to give him another chance. I went to his website to see if he had any other songs and I actually like all of the songs he has playing there, especially the cover of Linkin Park's Breaking the Habit. I'm going to keep an eye on this guy. He seems to be rising in popularity pretty quickly. I have included another video below of a song I thought was much better.
