scottobearStarted the week by taking a new route to work! Get an extra 10 minutes or so to sleep in, Fewer road hazards and a shorter trip home! Seems like a winner, so far.
Rice and Beans combined with the last of our yummy thai/curry soup. I swear that BHK is an amazing chef. I suspect that if she went back into the restaurant field that she'd have quite a following.
We watched Curse of the Golden Flower last night... it seemed to continue forever, and didn't grab me at all. I think that I was expecting Hero or House of Flying Daggers, and it just wasn't that sort of flick. The sets and visuals were nice, but it just didn't elicit any strong feelings or thought processes from me.
More pictures from our sushi night on Sunday, and another picture of the "Prisoner Inn" - Flickr uploader has been very flukey lately. It cuts off uploads midstream and drops items from the queue... I may just go with the web interface from now on.
Last weekend, I couldn't sleep at one point.. played a little Tf2, loaded the 2nd life update, but didn't log on, and got to the last level (haven't completed it) of Portal. So far portal-wise, I've gotten 4 accomplishments - not bad, given that I play about 20 minutes or so at a time, and half of that is spent just piddling around the environment.

Leave a comment and ask, and I will -
1. Tell you why I friended you or at least try to.
2. Associate you with something - a song, a color, a photo, a word, etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LiveJournal. (No stress about it from me - but I'd like to see it continue!)

That $1,500 Prada bag may have been stitched by an illegal Chinese immigrant working in a Tuscan sweatshop.
Steve Warshak, the snake oil salesman responsible for Enzyte (and consequently for those "Smiling Bob" ads) was found guilty today of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, bank fraud, and money laundering. So was his mom.
Items recently eaten that may have negative / naughty-juvenile connotations, slang-wise.
Big 'Mo - That had a much different connotation when I was in high school. I'd love to see a nascar kid wearing a BIG 'MO cap.... not sure I could keep a straight face.
Screamin' dill Pickle Pringles - Funny, yet, it's about as extreme as tap water... or we just got the most feebly seasoned stack, ever. (Impulse's comment about it being slang for gonorrhea is better than any gag that comes immediately to my mind.)
Hostess Cherry Pie - Cripes... look at the food values. memo to self, just eat a box o' fat and salt. 11 points???
Not to be outdone, BHK recently had a "Jack Pack" of Beef Stick, cheese stick and pretzel stick.
Yikes.

Date: 2008-02-26 03:21 pm (UTC)The scenes where the night-ninjas attacked the Doctor and his family by sliding down wires were really cool---I wanted more of that!

Date: 2008-02-26 04:29 pm (UTC)I had a bit of the opposite reaction when the wire fu stuff showed up, as it seems out of place with the tone of the rest of the picture. Probably a case of trying to be too many things at once.

They Might Be Giants
3. Tell you something I like about you.
your cartooniness
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
"YEILD!"
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
why aren't you watching Corner Gas?

no subject
Date: 2008-02-28 03:35 pm (UTC)I've seen one episode of corner gas so far (good hair day / camping / job switch) - It didn't snag me right off the bat, but I'm going to give it another set of episodes, just to see a crabby GP foot-sock talker!
I'm cartoony? I'll take that as high praise, even though I'm not sure what that means :D
I'll give you mine right on back -
1. Tell you why I friended you or at least try to.
originally? Pam had this gaming group, and Pat left, so there was an opening....never met, but you sounded like a nice person.
On LJ? Hey, it's Kathleen! No-brainer to add!
2. Associate you with something - a song, a color, a photo, a word, etc.
Butterbean by the B-52s (I'm sorry!!)
3. Tell you something I like about you.
You are the genuine article, not even remotely a fake.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
Getting boardwalk fries at the mall, and gabbing face to face about all manner of trivial stuff. I miss both!
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Hmm... I think that it's been pretty easy to ask things I've wanted to know... to the best of my knowledge, most of my questions have been answered over the years.
What would be your credit shown on the gorilla girl tv series?
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
(I like your eyes one, but it makes me sad, too.)

Originally... I don't remember, I believe that you found me through some means, and I added you back because you seemed fun and nifty!
just recently, you readded me... a lot has happened since I last read... congrats on the little one!! :D I was interested, so I readded you back. Life repeats itself!
2. Associate you with something - a song, a color, a photo, a word, etc.
red would be the most obvious, wouldn't it?
3. Tell you something I like about you.
You seem to me to be a kind and giving person... got to like that!
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
getting a surprise e-card for my birthday from you... I think it was in 2001? It was a pleasant thing.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
Hmm... I'm wondering where/ when your main website will be back!
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
