Ok, finals are coming up, and that’s NOT<\/b> cool!<\/p>\n
but sushi is! I went to creative sushi in Santa Monica saturday night, and omg.. it was sooo good! It was the best I’ve eaten in such a long time! What started as a simple – but quite appealing – idea for our anthropology project on the transformation of art became a joyous eating event. The four of us (Jen, Marie, David, and me) ordered a rainbow roll, spicy tuna, unagi nigiri, amago nigiri, salmon nigiri, a seaweed roll, and 2 california rolls. I think I ate a good third of all that. plus I had a tempura plate, which came at the end of dinner, right before our dessert of tempura bananas in chocolate syrup came, meaning I had to scarf down the tempura quickly. but ooh.. it was well done. not too greasy… and the veggies were tender too. :)<\/p>\n
aaah!! and the tempura bananas!! yuuuuuum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
hehehe. I love food. :)<\/p>\n
Since he had kindly borrowed the movie from home, David and I watched “The Big Lebowski” at my place after we all got back. Strange movie. Amusing movie. Philip Seymour Hoffman is a darned good actor. He plays this amusing caricature of a millionaire’s assistant to a point with all the ticks and tonal modulations of one accustomed to taking care of guests, being thisclose to patronizing, yet, not quite over. The recent budweiser commercial parodying the “wazzup” ad prior to it featured guys who took it just a little too far into cheesiness. Hoffman does a nice little job pushing, but not crossing the line.<\/p>\n
And this is just a little tiny role. I guess I’m impressed with this little role because it’s such a contrast to his performance in “The Talented Mr. Ripley,” the only other movie I’ve seen him in. Hoffman plays jude law’s char’s best friend, who gets a little suspicious of Matt Damon’s char’s activities. He has a very good feel for his roles… he fills them nicely, being able to insert the necessary touch (be it of malice or of smarminess) without overwhelming the role with easy caricatures.<\/p>\n
Very very cool. :)<\/p>\n
Also kind of cool, but also kind of.. strange. after finishing the movie, david and I sat on our futon and chatted for a bit. We also managed to overhear one of our neighbors having sex with her boyfriend. *oops* but more on this later. ;o) time to sleep now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
