for my neighbor, grrrace: maybe this will help you understand why I like boohbahs. ;) The last video is my favorite.
And you may want to watch while your munchkin isn't around, or put your headphones on since two of the songs contain explicit lyrics.
spicy, chocolate
chicken wings. seriously?
mmm, café circa.

that's right: chocolate chicken wings. sounds peculiar but it's incredibly delicious.
priceless.
Which yet-to-be-released movie are you excited to see?
Saturday, started the day with a morning movie. As in a 10:30AM showing of Iron Man. It was fun, and was better than I expected! I did have one minor gripe: Terrance Howard as Rhodie. I just wasn't feeling him. <spoiler> I guess I was thinking of when he assumed the role of Iron Man in the comics, and Howard just doesn't seem like the superhero type. </spoiler> Funny, I said the same thing about Downey. I'm not saying the next installment would focus on Rhodie anyway...since I missed the scene after the credits. ARGH!!!! Still, the movie was a blast, especially if you're into gadget porn.
Let's see... Oh, after the movie, stopped by one of the local comic shops for Free Comic Book Day. Goodies galore!
Then my nüvi 350 arrived from BuyDig.com. I'm having too much fun with it and it'll come in handy finding a few places when I'm having a fried green tomatoes kick.
Oh, and speaking of food, lunch was a pain in the gut. I forgot there was squid in the dish I ate; my stomach can't tolerate squid.
Sunday, dim sum with a friend. Had the best Chinese broccoli w/oyster sauce. Came home, read more comics from FCBD. Some that I enjoyed:

I was going to write about the fabulous day I was having but lunch is not agreeing with me at the moment. Actually, the squid in the jajangmyeon I ate isn't agreeing with me. My stomach hasn't been able to tolerate squid for a couple of years now and I'm usually careful to avoid it. Man, I sure do miss the calamari from Maggiano's. *sigh* Anyway, my stomach's been very finicky lately. I can't even remember the last time I ate avocados, green olives or asparagus without having a bout of gastro issues. I really want this to pass so I can re-cap the good stuff from today: Iron Man Movie, Free Comic Book Day and my new nüvi 350.
Oh, geez, I feel gah-nauseous.
I'm out.
I have a feeling this'll be the highlight of my weekend.
i'd heard of the lyrebird but never heard it mimic sounds until i saw this video...
my lovelies are back...
while we were waiting for the march of dimes walkathon (march for babies) to get underway in downtown atlanta yesterday, i had a chance to take in the view of the buildings that were damaged by the tornado that hit last month. looks like efforts to repair the broken windows is slow going, but the buildings are fine and the area is open to traffic.
we started in centennial olympic park and walked 5.2 miles around the city. my legs are a little sore today (i really need to hit the pavement instead of the treadmill more often) but it felt great to do some good, and seeing so many people and their pets out for the cause was wonderful.
