Saw Hero last night at Sean's place. Leonard, Ann, Scott, to whom I gave a ride, and Liz, the girl Sean's been seeing were all there. Hero is a beautiful movie if a bit soap operish. I told my Chinese coworker about seeing Hero and he mentioned that those types of movies are called Chopstick Westerns, analagous to Spaghetti Westerns I suppose. A visually stunning movie nonetheless. While the credits were rolling I started talking about the credits from The Incredibles and how they're animated to give them perspective as they scroll up. Sean happened to have a "special" version of The Incredibles on DVD. He brought out the DVD so we could see the end credits. After 15 minutes of trying to fast forward through the movie, we get to the end credits and the movie cuts off just the scrolly part starts. Since that was a bust, we instead start to watch the movie. About 10 minutes into the movie Sean turns on the "Engrish" subtitles and the fun begins. The translation had almost nothing to do with what was being said on screen. There would be random "fucks" or other words that made no sense sprinkled throughout the subtitles. We were all laughing our asses off. It was getting late at about that time and I noticed Scott was getting tired, so I drove him back home and then myself. Another good night with the friends. Hehe, I gave Scott The Chapelle Show season 1 DVD set last night as a hanukkah gift, and the first thing he said was "it's hanukkah today?" hehe.

Oooh today seemed to be a food day here at work. I brought in some oranges and crackers. Another person brought in homemade cookies, and yet another person brought me a sandwich. The sandwich was awesome by the way. It was a roll that had some cooked marinated meat in it plus a vegetable assortment containing, pickled onions, carrots, cucumbers and corriander; Heavily Asian influenced sandwich. I don't think I've had one quite like that before. Friday I'm going to go to the local Asian food market and pick up some stuff to bring to work.

I'm starting to not like the cold. I used to like a lot, but this was when I had plenty of self-insulation. Now due to a lack of said insulation I'm constantly cold and it's getting on my nerves. I've even resorted to taking relatively hot showers. I say relatively because I'm still a wuss about hot things so my hot shower might not necessarily be hot to someone else. I really can't wait until Spring and Summer come around again so we can have some nice hot weather. I never thought I would ever say that.

Today buy Secret Santa gift and get a new headlamp bulbs for my Heep.
