New Things I Like
New things I like:
Misoyaki Don:
This was on the daily specials board at a local Japanese place, with no description. I figured, I like miso, I like yaki, let’s give it a try.
It turned out to be grilled chicken & onions in a really yummy miso-based sauce, over rice. NOM NOM NOM. Now I just have to hope it stays a special.
The “Transporter” movies:
A friend recommended these ages ago, but we’d never watched them until we saw a trailer while out shopping. If we hadn’t, we would have seriously missed out. Goofy fights, laws-of-physics-defying car stunts, and a guy who makes sure to always keep a spare tie and dress shirt in the trunk.
Amazing.
0.3mm mechanical pencils, 0.4mm ball-point pens:
Kanji are so much easier with a really fine point. I’m breaking a lot of leads, but I’m getting the hang of it.
Mahjong, anime, blah blah blah. What? Over the top action flicks? Here we can communicate! Two other Luc Besson films you may like besides The Transporter:
Crank (this one has Jason Stathom)
District B13
Sweet! We already have Wasabi, Leon, and Nikita to watch, but I’ll put those on the list for after.
There was a trailer for “Crank 2″ on the Transporter 3 Blu-ray, by the way, and it looked… just deranged. I couldn’t figure out if it was good deranged or bad deranged, it was just too damn weird.
Have not seen the Crank sequel. Since Crank I was over the top, I kind of expect II to be down the back side if you know what I mean.
Ooh.Leon (already rated 4 stars)Nikita (5 stars)
