I didn't realize it was a chain. It's in one of the more affluent towns in the area, and right on a main drag, though you have to tell people to look out for it because it's on the first floor of a building, and sorta non-descript. One of my favorite things is their Black and Blue Quesadilla; steak and blue cheese in a flour tortilla. MMMM... We also like the chips they serve to everyone as you're figuring out your order. They have the usually yellow corn chips (like Tostitos), but they also have blue corn chips, sweet potato chips and a chip made from won ton skins and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar. Yummmmm.
Ooooh, I'm happy just thinking about 'em. I love tamales.
Oh, that tie would work fine on the scarf if it's only 4" wide, especially with the wispier yarn! And yes, the tie should stay in place. If it were a silk scarf, there might be a possibility of slipping, but not with a crocheted fuzzy scarf.
Heh, SirKit's family LOVES tamales!
Hehhehe. We're watching "Hitch". Total chick flick, but darling.
The Director of our Church choir made 'necklaces' for all the ladies in the group using several strands of one of those funky yarns that has a metallic thread running through the fuzzy stuff. She took several strand, tied them together on the ends, worked them into a cone shaped metal finding, then attach the clasp to that., You just kinda twist the yarns, then put the clasp on. They're very nice
Evenin' folkses...
Well... I have Konged. Went to the noon matinee.
Wow.
Best effects I've seen yet. Utterly seamless.
Yeah, it's gotten a couple good chuckles out of Big'ol. :)
Yah. Seamless is right. Really impossible to tell where the threshold between real and CGI was. I'm sure some of it was real props and some of it was CGI, but there's no telling which was which. Only maybe a couple of times did I spot something little that must have been CGI, but only little places.
Kong was magnificent. Andy Serkis needs an award. He really pulled it off. I didn't realize until getting home and checking out the website that Serkis also played the role of the ship's cook. It didn't look like him...
I think PJ is darn lucky to have made out so well with this flick. All of its flaws draw from his exuberance. He needs to apply a little of the Chanel design ethic: "Never add, always remove." It was too long, needed some editing to improve the pace. But it was an amazing movie to watch
Meanwhile.....
*belly laugh*
I think my brother said he kept his editing team from LOTR...that could explain a lot. ;-)
Maybe I'll go see Kong tomorrow...or Sunday afternoon, if the theater's open! Give me something to do.
that'll do it.
I think editing to them just means working out the "meanwhile..." parts...not actually cutting anything out. ;-)
So that means it was good, right? :-D
Hmmm... You know, I'd heard it was long... but it didn't seem that way to me. Seemed to move right along. Dunno.
But then again all the reviews I've seen talked about how long it was and how the boat trip seemed to take forever, and that sort of thing. So my expectations were already "managed" by what I'd read... and it wasn't long like I expected.
So there's that.
HI there...
Yah. I liked it lots. :-)
