When Transformers came out, we actually rather liked it. I mean, you have to turn off your brain entirely, but sometimes that’s just perfect for a hot summer afternoon. And okay, it was a little too much like a two hour long GM (or some car company, I forgot) advertisement, but well… overall [...]
We just got back from watching Coraline 3D — our first movie since The Dark Knight, last summer. We just don’t care that much about watching movies in the theater that much. And we don’t like to go out and hang out in a crowded theater and pay $13 for each ticket (3D [...]
Had my first Starbucks tea latte finally, soy vanilla rooibos. Not bad! Not as good as the tea lattes at Coffee Bean, but pretty good. It’s nice to have more options than just the chai tea latte that they had before. (At the Coffee Bean, I’m partial to their English breakfast tea [...]
Amongst canned root beers, Mug’s is better than A&W — more flavor, not so sweet, more bubbly. I should say though, that all three tasters (misa, yut, and me) prefer Coke to Pepsi. But in our defense, I found a Taster’s Choice article which agreed! Oh but one thing I want to [...]
Christian Bale and Kermit the Frog, side by side (via Mad Minerva). They are both delectable, especially Kermit. :p (The side by side post itself is fine, but some of the subsequent commenters on it have avatars that are probably NSFW. Thanks to Yut for noticing this!)
We finally went to see The Dark [...]
Have you noticed how often movies (especially “summer blockbuster” types) are long integrated commercials nowadays? I think the most egregious that I can think of right now is probably Transformers, which was a series of car ads — GM specifically, I think — I dunno, I’m no expert. But anyways, Iron Man, it [...]
Movies:
Little Miss Sunshine — Awesome. I mentioned it already in another post, but gosh it was a good movie, well worth watching.
Wedding Crashers — Meh, ok. It definitely had some funny parts, but the problem is, it wanted to be two movies: a comedy and a romantic comedy. What the hell is that [...]
I’m going to try and be less wordy this time. :)
Books:
Lord Darcy by Randall Garrett — liked it. And I’d recommend it to anyone.
Death and Thraxas by Martin Scott — liked it. Fun read, but I wouldn’t buy it in hardcover. Paperback, sure.
And that’s it!
Movies:
Clerks — Ok. Funny parts [...]
We went to a pub quiz at Beckett’s last night. OMG, it was so damn hard! There were 8 rounds with 8 questions per round, which means a possible 64 points. We got 29. Yeah, less than half. But seriously the questions included stuff like “Paris Hilton got arrested for [...]
So I’m late again this month. Well, what can I say. But in my defense, I sorta thought I had nothing much to say this month cos I didn’t see much or read much in July. But I think that was really more the end of July, or something. I really [...]
