Where to eat

Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:03:30 GMT

...and not to eat in Cedar Rapids.

Pei's Mandarin Restaurant
http://www.peismandarin.com/

Visited on 3/19/08

Very full, obviously a popular lunch spot.
Decent buffet chinese. Not a huge selection, but the food was fresh & constantly being refreshed while we visited. The crab rangoons were nothing special, but the eggrolls were pretty tasty. Tea tasted...rancid. Maybe not rancid, but very strong. Stronger than I like.

8.00 for an adult lunch buffet.
3.00 for a child buffet that was completely over priced, since he refused to eat anything but the two almond cookies.

Ti totally made up for it when he proved how he could recognize & identify his alphabet.

Would I recommend it &/or go again? Not especially. It was alright, but I like Sushi House better.

Mmm.

I just want everyone to know I was being fiscally prudent when I bought the six pack of peanut butter eggs today. They were forty cents cheaper at Target than Hy-Vee. I just had to get them, see?

One more birthday today.

Speaking of space, I've just added The Day the Earth Stood Still and Contact to the library's collection. What class were these for?

Beyond Across the Universe

Sun, 10 Feb 2008 21:13:40 GMT

Just finished watching ~~Beyond~~ Across the Universe. Have to say that despite having some amazing brilliant parts... the OMG this is taking so long & the random how can we twist the plot around so we can justify one more song really detracted from the movie.

So despite wanting to see this movie for a long time, I finished the movie wishing I had spent the two hours in better ways.

Saturday's movie night has carried over to Sunday morning because our neighborhood's roads drifted shut. =)

He loved all of his birthday presents. And there are no holes in our walls (yet). It was a little frightening how fast Ti took to the motorcycle.

More snow?!

Okay, I've had enough now. Let's move on to spring, alright?

Things are looking up today. I think I might just have to take over the world, but that'd be cool with everyone, right?

*edit* I love you guys! I'm so glad that I'll have your support when I become supreme being of the world.

Here's a variation on my power of blowing people up with my mind for you to ponder: It was suggested today at the lunch table that instead of just violent explosions, I should be able to make people explode into a cloud of butterflies.

I think the guys I eat lunch with don't know me very well.

Books -> Movies

Thu, 03 Jan 2008 00:15:39 GMT

Books into movies:
http://www.cracked.com/article_15694_kick-ass-movies-you-didnt-know-were-based-on-books.html

Almost lost my attention, but has good lines like, "... Morrell wrote a sequel to the book to coincide with the film, which somehow portrays Rambo as still alive, without so much as an opening chapter where a necromancer summons him from Valhalla."

and

"Seriously, when we buy a book about a cartoon rabbit, we expect a little bit more lightheartedness and a lot less 'Oh, dear God, NOOOOOOO!'"

Woah.
