weekend recap

nobody@vox.com(gamany) — Mon, 05 May 2008 21:14:37 -0400

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:
