Dinner tonight @ Malay Satay

Cashew Chicken. Colorful but I didn't really care for the taste.

Pineapple Fried Rice. Rice was too mushy.

Spicy Seafood Silver Noodle Soup. See the hot chilies, I was sweating from the scalp, it was so spicy.

Grandpa

Grandpa (Mom's dad) passed away this afternoon. She's in L.A. now.
He lived a very long and fruitful life. I was amazed at his energy even at the age of 80, playing tennis, exercising routinely, and his mind was always sharp. Goodbye Ah Gong.

Taro Bubble Shake

So I was craving taro bubble shake. Had it 2x on 2 different days and they didn't make it a frozen shake. It was watery. Hated it. Then I was in Chinatown and mama went into Gossip to get me one. She came out with Taro tea w/ice. 3rd time and it's still watery. All I want is a frozen bubble shake. Is it so hard to make???

On our way home, I was dozing off and when I woke up, Neil was again and Gossip and we finally got our frozen taro bubble shake with extra tapioca. However, at this point, I was so sick of it, I had a few sips and it was all I could drink.

SM3 Review/ Leg Caddy

Good movie. A bit too long for me. Perhaps it was my leg that was bothering me. I was watching SM2 and noticed that the usher was the same guy as the French waiter. Funny.

Topher Grace was ok, still had his 70s Show demeanor to his character.


I enjoyed the drama parts of the movie and the action was good but a lot of CGI. Wish there was a bit more intricate action sequences.


What was I thinking going to an Imax on crutches? I had to walk forever and then spiral down to the Imax screen and by then I was exhausted. I dreaded knowing that I had go the same route after the movie.







This is my new toy, Leg caddy. I put my broken leg on the cushion and wheel myself around. It's got a brake and steering. No shock absorbers. Although the pressure on my knee is atrocious! But it's fun and I should have taken this to the movie with me.

Spider Man 3

I was surfing the net and didn't realize that Seattle is one of 3 cities that has 2 IMAX theaters in one space. Woo Hoo. So that means S3 is playing tonight at 12:00 but I'm not a die hard fan. However, it's playing at 10:45am tomorrow and well...why not?

However, IMAX sucks cuz you can't buy tickets online like moviefone.com. They stop selling tickets online at 6pm for the next day's event and they're having issues with firefox, mac, explorer 7. Ummm...what else is there?

So tomorrow, maybe we'll have a nice breakfast and see a morning movie. Neil's been such a great support during this mess. Everything I ask no matter how many times, he does it. I know how irritating it can be, but it's nice to be able to ask w/out feeling guilty.

I've been adjusting my boot. Nate, it's not all that. Sure, I can take a shower but it's a bitch adjust this because they want my foot to lay completely flat on the boot but my heel keeps riding up. And changing socks is a pain! Some of the scar seeps and gets stuck to the socks and it hurts and bleeds a bit when I take the socks off.

Oh the genious designers of this boot, gotta love them. They have moisture wick. So it pulls sweat away and I've noticed that it pools under the boot and collects on the frame/heel. Yeah, it's gross. You'd be sweating too wearing a plastic and straps wrapped around your feet and leg. I'd be scared to think how nasty it would get if I was in Hawaii in hot humid weather.

So now I get a towel to soak up the moisture at night. It's not like a puddle!

Happy May Day

Had yummy swedish pancakes for Sunday breakfast @ Redmond Pancake House. Yummmy! I got a 3 month handicap parking pass. Nice!
So I took the bandages off. Half of them were falling off and icky and the doc said to pull them off after 4 days and it's been 5! Maybe it could be enhance with a cool tattoo design. Then again, I've always wanted a tattoo and I guess you should be careful what you ask for!

Target Part II

So I was online IMing with Eric and I told him how much I loved shopping at Target and purchased a few pair of shorts. He then asked me if I got the plaid ones! Wait, huh? What? How did he know I bought the plaid ones? Well, it seems he went to Target a week ago and bought the same shorts I did. I thought it was hilarious! And as you can see here, we both wore the same pair today. I sent him a pic on my cell the shorts I wore and he sent back a pic of him wearing the same one and we're both wearing 34!

Me in Mossimo shorts. My belly is getting huge!

Eric in Phoenix wearing the same shorts.

Target

Love Target. I finally decide to get my fat ass back in the gym and I go break my leg. So not only am I getting fat from being bored and stuffing my face, I gotta get new shorts. Thanks to Target, you can get cool shorts for under $20 and some under $10. I remember when Mossimo first lauched and was so excited to get a piece of the collection!

I got 5 pairs of Mossimo cargo shorts and new socks.

Saw Rear Window yesterday afternoon on VOD! Good movie. Started watching French Connection but I fell asleep.

Bored

Max has decided that flipping over for a tummy rub is what he wants.
Teri and Tyler came over for a visit. Poor Tyler's having issues with the birds and plugs his ears when's he comes down the steps. I'm sure he'll phase out of it sooner or later.

Vacancy Movie

It was either Vacancy or Fracture. Neil decided on Vacancy. He asked how can a movie with Luke Wilson be scary? I was wondering that too, and with Kate Beckinsale? But it works. A good B grade flick.

I was checking out my broken leg and noticed that my right calve has shrunk. Did you notice that too Nate?

Cast comes off

I forgot to take my camera into the clinic. They cut off my temporary cast and pull the staples out. Now I'm back into the removable boot. I got the right size but it's still a pain.
Took a long hot bath and scrubbed as much dead skin as gently as possible. The Ortho doc said my healing looked great. No pus or leakage and the x-rays looked good.
Some temporary butterfly tapes. I still can't put any weight on my leg for a month. In 2 weeks, I'll start rehab.

American Idol

After watching tonight's episode, I think Jordan Sparks should win. Melinda runner up.

I predict LaKisha is going home first, then Phil, then Chris, and then Blake.

Max on Max

Max hanging out with himself.

Disturbia

Shia LeBeouf is in a lot of movies this year. I thought this homage to Rear Window was really good. Suspense, thriller, unexpected, and fun.
The last 1/4 wasn't in line with the rest of the movie but still a good matinee.

Turistas - Unrated version

Neil picked this one out. It was okay. Definitely a rental. Josh Duhamel was in it, I guess he was good as eye candy but that was about it. Kinda like Hostel, Saw, The Cave, Hills have eyes all in one.

The one movie I wouldn't mind seeing is Disturbia.

Happy Birthday Ivy

We're about to take off and have dinner at Mandarin Palace for Ivy's birthday which was on Friday. Now where's Neil to take me?

Who gets to call it Art?

Comcast has VOD (Video on Demand) and I was watching this historical documentary on Henry Geldzahler. If you get a chance to watch this, do so. He's an amazing art curator for MOMA and brought forth POP ART into the mainstream and befriended almost every known artist of the late 20th century.

4-20

Man...i can sympathize with morning sickness. I can't explain it but I' ve been extremely nauseous these past few mornings. Dry heaving and at time major diarrhea. I've been using 2 prescribed anti-nausea pills and patch to keep me even keel. Not sure if anyone else has had as much issues with breaking their leg causing upset stomach, headache, diarrhea, and nausea!

You'd think I'd be losing massive amounts of weight, but no!

Oh the interesting side. check out this new candle line...

Totally awesome. Got a few testers from them and the glass is killer cool and the wood wick crackles like a fire log.

Have a good weekend! I go in next Thursday to check up on my fracture. I'm so ready for it to come off. I have till Thursday to decide if I should get a fiberglass permanent cast or a removable boot. The permanent cast would be more light weight but the boot would allow me to shower without all the hassle of bagging it. Any thought?

Max poses for the camera

This is our morning routine. He comes to perch on my shoulder and takes a nap.
