::UPDATE TIME:: Thanksgiving break was quite exceptional, compared to other weekends. Ate so much I gained like 8 pounds already XD That's alrite b/c I'm trying to put a little more weight on. Started off I guess on wed afternoon at work, I didn't get to go to one of the thanksgiving meals at my cousin's apartment tonite >_< Oh, I just remembered my mom cooked an early thanksgiving meal on Sunday for my uncle's family that just moved here from HK ... then worked again thanksgiving morning. It's cool b/c I get 2.5x pay!!! (or so i'm told) XD Good deal. Then I went to play a little football with my island homies but that was shortlived b/c hardly anyone showed up. Then went back home and played some video games b/c it was break and I'm lazy like that over break XD Later we had dinner at one of my dad's friend's house over in Shoreline, quite a drive. Great food, I'm still drooling over it.
Next, on friday, my aunt from NY flew in kinda randomly, (well not randomly, but my I knew almost nothing of it so it was random for me) and we drove up to Canada for some good old Canuck stuff. Ate even more good food, shopped a little, and even visited a lan shop up there to school the Canuck kiddies at CS. The people running the place didn't know much about computers, and my friend's and I kinda got shafted into using the worse computers since all the good ones were filled by who I like to call "the regulars" or "the-asian-kids-who-live-on-instant-noodles-and-computergames". Bleh whatev, I'm used to a slow computer like mine =X I got the Wonder Woman CD by Sammi Cheng which is pretty good. I can see why it stayed ranked so high on YesAsia. Got a new movie and exchanged the non-working PTU for a new copy. I was quite dissappointed to learn that Boxing Day in Canada is actually the day after Christmas and that's when all the sales are... u_u;;; I had thought that Boxing Day was like the Canuck Christmas or something... That's OK tho, cuz I managed to find some stuff that was a good deal. We came back saturday night and finally slept a really good night's sleep. On sunday I went to church and then went to play basketball since we weren't here on friday night. Got some good exercise to work off some of the weight I gained. Although when I weighed myself later that night, that's when I had found I had gained about 8 pounds since the summer. And that pretty much sums up my thanksgiving weekend.
I keep thinking I have a movie to review, but I dont' remember any movies... OH ok, I saw Matrix Revolutions on IMAX the weekend before. I guess it was OK... The special effects were much better than the Reloaded in my opinion. I personally liked the Dock scene. The ending fight scene can kiss my ass after I sh*t. It reminds me of a horrible HK movie that I got a while back. I never would have thought that the Matrix series could end with such crap. The movie on a whole was in between the 2nd and the first. No where remotely near the latter unfortunately. I guess the series kinda took a super turn and went completely sci-fi/fantasy like. There was much more appeal in the first one, IMO, b/c it did not have nearly as much fantasy type stuff. Neo's change into superman was whacked. The random orgy in the 2nd one was out of nowhere. Suddenly new characters pop up from nowhere and expect to be the main attraction. The fact that it seemed like the Bible was completely rewritten into the storyline at the end... @_@ Ok, so it made for an intersting turn of events, but still, that's pretty lame. I'm not dissing on the Bible, b/c I happen to be Christian, but it should not be in a Hollywood blockbuster. Trying to coin the term "the one" was already done by whoever dared to make the Jet Li movie "The One" and apparently they crashed and burned and rolled over a cliff. The Wachowski brothers must have decided to take a vacation mid way filming this movie. So enough flaming of this movie; I need to sleep and finish my prelab. I rate this a 6.5 / 10 for decent special effects and an OK ending that wrapped it together albeit as bad as it is. I recommend people to rent it for DVD when it hits the $.99 rack. Well, enuf of that, g'nite...
