- had a nice family lunch to celebrate dad's birthday yesterday. dad cooked for us. he was very proud of the rib-eye and the lamb. for once, i actually ate the salad. the dressing was too good to resist. there was tons of dessert. ice cream, cake, brownies, chocolate, etc. remember, my dad's diabetic.
- saw max payne after lunch. we watched it because there was no other choice. it wasn't so bad. my dad slept through half of it. i had to keep looking over at him to see if he was still awake. according to the movie reviews i read in today's paper, max payne is from a video game. the plot wasn't anything to rave about. the effects were awesome though. i liked the slow-mo scenes. you really saw how the gun works. the killing of lupino, the supposed "devil" was a bit anti-climactic. poor guy didn't even have any lines. in the end, it was the guy max payne trusted that ended up being his wife's killer. BB (?), the "suit". natasha's sister, i forgot her name, looked so familiar (edit: Mona Sax!). i kept thinking all throughout the movie where i saw her first. it was mila kunis, from "that 70's show". that's good to know. the movie even teaches the viewers about Norse mythology. the ending smelled like it can have a sequel if the movie does well. :) omg. i was searching wikipedia for a movie poster and i found out that nelly furtado was in the movie, playing alex's wife. that is so crazy! she looked like she gained weight (sorry, that sounds mean). i didn't recognize her even though her face was focused the whole time she was talking. ooh, weird. :)
- in the previous post, i was telling you about how i borrowed "The Catcher in the Rye" from the mini-library. i finally finished it. i got some good lines out of it too. it was a really interesting read. the book is fairly long for something that happens in two to three days. Holden Caulfield is really cool. :) i would love to see it made into a movie but according to Wikipedia, J.D. Salinger won't authorize it.
- my room is currently undergoing major renovation which started this morning. it sucks cause i just changed my bed sheets yesterday morning. what a waste.
