I swear this afternoon I had two or three things I wanted to post, but now that I am at my computer, I can't think of any of them.

RM & I saw "Strange Wilderness" yesterday, and wow, it's a bad movie. It makes most other stoner comedies seem like ... I don't know, like The Philadelphia Story or No Country for Old Men, or something like that. We did laugh, I'll admit that -- though many times it was a laugh of sheer disbelief at how stupendously dumb the movie was.

One of the characters was played by Ashley Scott, and Strange Wilderness was so bad that at the end, RM & I both expressed surprise that she'd be in a movie like that. ('Cause you know, she's had such a promising career thus far, what with her roles on "Birds of Prey" and in that movie about treasure-divers with Paul Walker and Jessica Alba.)

In other news, I am attempting to cook a Chinese New Year meal this weekend. I am painfully clueless about Chinese cooking, and today I went to a the sole remaining market in Chinatown to pick up a couple of elusive ingredients and felt like I was wandering around with my skirt tucked up into the back of my underpants.
