So, for those of you who don't know it, I take a Kung Fu class on Tuesdays and Thursdays every week (btw: I designed that site, and built it). This is the second time this has happened: I will arrive at class and about half way through I will go through some kind of episode and just start sneezing away. That started about three hours ago; my nose is still runny.
Had a great day today, and if you know me a great day ALWAYS starts with breakfast at Magnolia's. I had their signature house dish, the Munchener Apfel Pfannekuchen or the Farfignugen for short. I had always put off ordering this meal because of the price, but today was my day, and I was going to Farfignugen! Sadly, as hard as I tried, I could not tame the beast because, what they brought me was the size of the GIANT plate it was served on.
Afterward, we headed down to the Palladium IMAX theater over by the 10 and saw the new Pixar flick: Up. All in all, I really enjoyed Up! The 3D format fit it really well and didn't overpower the storytelling. The writers did a real great job with this one. A lot of different themes were thrown around: love, loss and letting go, and from a point of view we don't see in many movies: the eldery. In addition I thought the "Spirit of Adventure" worked as a great metaphor. I will say this though: there is A LOT of heartbreak in this movie. I'm talking on the scale of Bambi, Old Yellar and Where the Red Ferns Grow. Within the first 20 minutes, if you don't at least feel a slight twinge in your heart, you're dead. Seriously, you are a zombie and your time would be better spent outside, looking for fresh brains than sitting inside watching a children's movie.
Well, that's all I got for tonight. I hope you've learned something; not from here of course but, you know, somewheres.
