RANDOM THOUGHTS

Wow, I can’t stop posting. Anyways, some random thoughts. First, yeah I know the column for the archives is screwed up. Blogger sometimes alters the .html code for no apparent reason when I post. The problem is correctable, but I’m being lazy. I’ll do it soon.

I went to lunch with my friend Garrett Knights today. We went to this pho place in Chinatown called Pho Van. In my mind, it’s the best pho in the Lower Mainland. Anyways, around 11pm, I start craving for pho again. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, good pho must contain an addictive substance. It’s like culinary crack! Oh my, the hearty beef stock, the succulent beef slices, and the soft noodles!

So, it’s like 1:30am now, and I’m hungry again, but there’s nothing in the house I want to eat. Crap, I should be reading a textbook instead of wondering what to eat. Hmmm… I wonder if I can go back to Pho Van tomorrow.

HUMAN CIVILIZATION PEAKS WITH CUTENESS

I’m of the opinion that we, as a civilization, may have reached our peak. Why do I think this? Well, it’s because man has discovered the magical combination of a cloned kitten in a beaker. Look at that picture. It’s priceless. It’s cute.

I usually am not moved to cuteness by pictures. When I was at UBC, almost every girl I knew had pictures of babies in their dorm rooms. I was not moved. Nothing. Nada.

This miracle of science in Pyrex ™, however, is different. It’s a damn cloned kitten in a beaker! How inventive is that? They should make t-shirts and greeting cards with pictures of kittens in beakers. Hallmark would make a killing. If someone was smart, they’d make posters of kittens in beakers and sell them at universities. There’d be one in every girl’s dorm room. I bet some guys would secretly buy one too. Hell, I would.

Kitten in a beaker!

BREAKFAST SAUSAGE

I came home from an evening out. I noticed that my mom had cooked up some breakfast sausage, and left it in the fridge. This way, you only have to heat it up in the mornings and not have to waste time cooking it.

I had two links of the sausage right away. Breakfast sausage is tasty. However, I’ve discovered you can only eat two or three links at one time before you feel like throwing up. I think it’s the high fat content. Still, it’s yummy!

That is all.

BRUSH WITH GREATNESS!

This evening, I had dinner with my friend Trevor. We decided to stay close to his apartment, so we were looking for a place in Yaletown to eat. We were passing by Section (3) and their outdoor patio. As I passed, I saw former VPD spokeswoman Anne Drennan. Thinking this minor Vancouver celebrity would be the best I would see tonight, my eyes shifted to the end of the patio. There, to my surprise, sitting with a female companion was Academy Award winning actress Anna Paquin! I was stunned at first, but I kept on walking. Ms. Paquin is in Vancouver filming X2, the sequel to the movie X-Men. As I took one final glimpse of her, I saw that she was fully immersed in her role of Rogue. She was sporting a very noticeable mane of white down the middle of her hair. Even from a half a block away you could see it.

Trevor and I eventually found a restaurant half a block away. As we sat down, I discussed whether I should have asked her for an autograph. Ultimately, I decided it would be uncool and that a much better solution would be to go back outside and gawk at her in an awkward and uncomfortable manner. Sadly, that did not happen.

It doesn’t take much to get me starstruck. That made my day!

I BET EITHER THE US GOVT. OR ALIENS ARE BEHIND THIS

After reading this story, I believe there’s probably a good chance the townsfolk will start disappearing.

I’M A DORK

So, I go and watch Austin Powers 3 : Goldmember today. Quick review: the others were funnier.

Anyways, the movie ends and I’m walking down the steps of the auditorium. The theatre is sparsely packed, there’s perhaps maybe 10 people left. I get down to the last step and for some reason, my ankle rolls. My world tumbles down all around me. I’m stunned. I realize I’m on my back. For a split second, I think if I spring back up no one will notice. The thought passes quickly as I come to the grips with the fact I’ve taken a huge spill at the bottom of the steps. I put my head down on the floor, preparing for the embarassment that will surely come.

Some guy steps into the aisle. Mercifully, he says nothing to me. I decide to get up before he reaches me. I pop up and make a bee-line to the auditorium door. I don’t look behind me. As I’m walking, my right ankle begins to feel warm. I try to walk normally, but I have a slight limp. I’m trying to desperately to make it to my car as fast as I can. I figure the metal will shield me from my embarassment. Luckily, I parked underground where they are no other cars at the time. I get in my car and then I realize something surprising. I’m still holding my soft drink cup. It didn’t spill when I took my spill.

I drive away from the theatre in a quick fashion. I get home and my ankle still feels warm. Now it feels a bit sore. At this point, I feel like it’s going to be ok.

After dinner, I take a nap. When I get up, my ankle is kinda stiff now, though not swollen. I was going to go on a hike this week, but that maybe in jeopardy now.

UPDATE: Upon closer inspection, there is some minor swelling and it seems more tender than it was before. I could ice the thing, but that would be the logical thing to do.

Can we all learn anything from this? Yes, I think we can. Don’t fall down at the theatre in front of people.
