Happy Feet

Saw an afternoon matinee of Happy Feet with a theater full of kids and their parents. The only thing irritating was Robin Williams playing duo roles. He's funny, I like him, but he can be just a bit over the top! The music and dancing was a big hit with the kids! I looked around the theater a few times and children standing up dancing or bobbing their kids and giggling a lot. There were a few scenes probably too intense for kids but overall, it was cute.

Sony Ericsson

I went to watch Casino Royale again last night with Danny and Ivy. It was just as good as the first time and things made more sense during the second viewing because the movie does has a lot of plots. Reminds me a lot of The Bourne Franchise.
Perhaps it was the dinner last night, but I had a lot of random dreams blending into each other all night long.
But back to the SE. Obviously, Sony owns Columbia which made Casino Royale, hence every computer in the movie was a VAIO and every time they showed the phone, Sony Ericsson was featured prominantly across the entire movie screen! Self promotion every few minutes. If Sony made watches, I'm sure Bond wouldn't have been wearing an Omega!

So this is the K790a/ K800i phone. Of course, there's no GPS. Silver Ltd Edition. If anyone of you see it around the net for sale, feel free to notify me as I' ve decided that my Motorola SlVR replacement sucks ass.

And this is the M600 e-mail (Blackberry) Vesper Lynd used in the movie.

Casino Royale

Who needs Brosnan when you have Craig. This was by far, the best and freshest Bond in years. You can't compare him to Sean Connery but he kicks Roger Moore's ass!

The moview was over 2 hours but I'll go see it again and will probably buy it on DVD. Why? There was great action, great acting, Bond one liners, and the best part, in my opinion, is the human factor so lacking in the Bond films I grew up with.

Watching Casino Royale, I couldn't help but think how the fight scenes in Moore-Dalton-Brosnan movies were really about gadgetry and no one really gets hurt. Whereas, the fight scenes here are a bit brutal and not a single gadget and I didn't miss the scene of Q demonstrating all the gadgets Bond would end up using to get him out of a bind. In fact, the only gadget I wanted was his cell phone! Remember the K790a SE phone I've been wanting for months? It's the limited edition version in Silver. Kickass. And as difficult as it is to find the K790a in Brown, where the *$U)$#%U am I gonna find it in Silver?

I hope Daniel Craig sticks around for a few more and we see more of the new Bond! I give this 9 of out 10 stars. Why not 10? The movie was a bit too long and what's up with the stupid token old Chinese woman who didn't have a single line? Why bother?

I'm sick again

I don't think that AIRBORNE stuff works. I'm fizzling it a few times a day to help get rid of this head cold. It's not working! I'm coughing, wheezing, headache, stuff nose, so you can't sleep!

Nothing some DayQuil and NightQuil can't take care of but it's going on too long!

Less than a month before I see y'all locals again for Pearl Jam and U2. I could care less about PJ at this point and U2 NEVER dissappoints! They will rock. Anyone seen the new video they did with Green Day?

Weekend flicks

Took Hiram's recommendation and the theater was packed! There were some serious over the top scenes that will become classic! Then there were some really stupid ones.

Saw Saw III over the weekend. I don't know why Neil makes me watch these stupid movies. The first one was good like watching SCREAM. It was original and unexpected. Then we watched the 2nd one it was just whatever. Then I had to sit through this one and it was simply idiotic. I mean the premise is the same, there were some interesting scenes but overall, it was really a waste of my time.

Los Angeles

It was nice going to LA. The weather was very hot, sunny, and in the 90s. Can't beat that when Seattle is in the 50s and wet!

Sunrise @ 7:30am heading to Los Angeles

Downtown L.A. Our second home away from Home.
Mt. St. Helens. What a beautiful sight to behold.

LOST

Last night's episode of LOST was retarded. I felt it was boring and lame. Next week's episode looks a lot more interesting. The return of Boone was good though.

Heading out

Heading to dinner

Blue Ginger

Appetizers
Tempura
Seafood Tofu soup
My favorite part of dinner. All the little eats.

Robin Thicke

The son of TV's Growing Pains, Alan Thicke, Robin Thicke can sing!
I found him on iTunes and downloaded his new CD, The evolution of Robin Thicke. Very Prince, R&B, and what Justin Timberlake wishes he were...

www.robinthicke.com and check out his vids on youtube.

Thank You for Not Smoking

Go rent "Thank you for not smoking". Aaron Eckhart is #$%IU)O incredible. The movie is an awesome satire and comedy about the tobacco industry.

You taste like Fish Biscuit

I thought this episode of LOST was the best tonight. I wanted to kill everyone of the OTHERS. Ohh, it got my blood boiling. It's too much. NO wonder it's easier to watch it all at once, I can't stand this suspense.
And now there's The NINE. I can't stay up all night to watch these shows!

So back to Jun, Damn I 'm glad she shot the bitch and then I would have aimed up and shot the next person coming down and so forth...

Digging for the Truth

It's Sunday and I've spent the day cleaning out 10 bags of really old clothes that I haven't worn for a few years but couldn't let go. Well, it's gone now. It leaves me with about 2 dozen jeans I can't live without. My new favorite is PRPS and my inexpensive LEVI's is not only well made but it fits amazingly well. Who says you have to spend a few hundred bucks for a good fitting pair of jeans?

I just started watching "Digging for the Truth". Well it's got a good looking fella, Josh Berstein (who's like a modern Indiana Jones) and the story in each episode is really cool. Right now, they're discussing Stonehendge and the episode prior was about the Mayan Pyramids and I actually learned something and enjoyed watching it at the same time. Remember those horrible science shows we had to watch in high school with Richard Attenburrough and I swear, was there anyone awake?

Go check it out on The Discovery Channel, I think it's on 9pm on Mondays and reruns.

I've been obessing with this Rosemary chicken dish ever since Tyler Florence told me via his ads for Applebees that I had to try it. Well, it sucks from Applebees. So I went to PCC today and purchased everything I need to make my own. I'll let you know how my cooking turns out.

Mama is going to be away for almost 6 months. I've thrown out 3 bags of food from the fridge and I washed out the fridge. It's very empty and clean. Next up will be all her "herbs" that has been sitting in the kitchen for decades. Then the laundry room and garage.

There's this beautiful house on upper Queen Anne. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the victorians but I don't care. It's MODERN, it's a square with no yard, and it's open with lots of glass. It's the type of house I want to live in. Open, Zen, clean, and free of clutter.

300 the movie

Has anyone else seen the trailer for 300? Go to www.300themovie.com to check it out. I'm sure any Frank Miller fan will be anticipating this movie. I thought the trailer was amazing in terms of cinematography. In terms of the story or acting, I have no clue.

The Departed

We went to see The Departed tonight. Leonardo was amazing as well as the rest of the cast including Mark Walhberg, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, and a list of other well knowns. Leave it to Sorcese to keep the story going as well as very intense. I haven't seen a movie this good in a long time. Well worth seeing again and purchasing when on DVD.

Lame and Gullible

I've always enjoyed watching Tyler Florence on the Food Network Channel and when you watch the repeated ads of him cooking his herb skillet chicken for Applebee's, all you can do is go try it.

The salad was way too drenched but the flavor was actually nice. The chicken was ok but after a few bites, I stopped eating. The ad actually ran on the TV while I was in Applebee's and it sure wasn't the same. Not to mention Neil's penne pasta with sausage was worse than frozen dinner. Bland and blah.

Of course, you're all saying, "Well, helloooo...What did you expect?"

Max's in school

Fall

This little leaf was hanging on for dear life on my way home from work.

Claim Jumper

Tanner enjoying a mouthful of Mud Pie.

Crunchy cheesesticks.
My favorite French Onion Soup. Hearty and beefy broth.
I think Tanner ate almost the whole thing. Then he started throwing the rest to the booth behind him.
I think it was at least 6 inches high.

Teri I guess had issues the next day. Jumbalaya... I think that was your problem.
