Well since Leo told me how epic Hero was I decided to give it the honour of being viewed in big screen! Whee! Well here is the tentative plan: Westmount, Thursday, 9:20 PM because the show starts at 9:40. Tell me if you are interested and I will make a "final" decision on wednesday and tell you guys at Chilis.

- Don't worry Par, the silence was his shame.
On another note, Donkey Dong, hahahahahahaha. Beautiful.
Did you guys see how it rained while the sun was still shining? Gorgeous.

- The waterpark (aka Mount Splashmore) was awesome. And for those of you whose lives are unfufilled because you didnt go here is a song for you to hopefully fill the void:

- Gripe time. Allow me to preface this gripe with a bit of background about the restaurants that I and my family (which includes the uncle, aunt and cousins next door) frequent. As a matter of fact, I can barely use the noun "restaurants", because, in essence, in the past four years we've been to two. That's not two times, that's two different restaurants. Dozens of times. Granted, I occasionally manage to convince them to go someplace different, for some variety, but these excursions are rare (perhaps once a year) and generally end up with either "< restaurant name > doesn't have the selection that < unnamed large chain italian restaurant that rhymes with Tallive Schmarden > has" or "It's okay, but I like the indian food at < unnamed indian restaurant that rhymes with Your-ya Palace> better."
Today, in celebration of my cousin's 19th birthday, we went out for lunch. And, I'm told, we're going someplace different. "We're going beyond our two regulars?!" Apparently, not very far beyond. In fact, the choice of the afternoon, Jaipur Palace, which is less than 100 meters from the unnamed indian restaurant with the iron grip over my family's celebratory eating. Moreover, the new place, to put it eloquently, sucks donkey dong. So, we have to endure this place, where the first smell that greets you as you enter is the pleasant aroma of washroom, and where the number of patrons tripled when we entered. Service? sucks. Food? among the worst punjabi food I'd ever had. In fact, as I type, my stomach is letting me know how bad that food actually was. When a sweet dish like kheer (a sort of rice pudding-ish dessert) tastes sour, something is definitely not right.
To add insult to injury, no complaints from my folks. Sure, when I pick a non-indian restaurant whose selection is a little smaller, no end to the complaints. But when my uncle picks an indian restaurant with crappy service and food, not a peep. Hoo-fucking-ray!
So, I've decided to go scouting. Generally, when we hit a restaurant, we'd like some variety. I figure we need at least five decent vegetarian dishes. First place I'd like to check out is Cafe Mosaics on Whyte. If anyone has an interest in joining me on my expedition, or another suggestion of a decent place with good vegetarian selection, feel free to let me know.
This concludes gripe time. Stay tuned for son-of-a-bitch-I-have-to-go-to-the-can time.

One other thing, I'm also looking to put a crew together to go see Garden State sometime soon.

- In further music news:
Who: Gomez
When: 22 September
Where: Red's
Tickets: about $22.50
If you aren't already familiar with Gomez, they are a five-piece roots rock/BritPop band from the Manchester area, with songs such as "Shot Shot", "We Haven't Turned Around" and "Get Myself Arrested". I highly recommend them. And as of right now, I'm seeking to put together a crew for this show, so if you are interested, let me know.

- Question:
Would any of you see Hero at a movie theater or would you rather wait until I can get the DVD from chinatown and see it at someones house?
Theater
pro: big picture, big sound, movie available right now
con: big price (even if westmount is cheaper)
DVD
Pro: cheap (for free, other then: the price of gas, the energy you would need to drive a car walk to the door and sit down and watch the movie, the energy needed to maintain your coporeal form)
Con: need to wait at least a few days maybe a week at the most for me to get the movie. (Unless Leo or Percy or Eric might have it... c'mon you have chinese parents, they buy ripped off DVD from chinatown.)
So let me know.

Ok, so that was lame, I just felt like share some cool news, and poking fun at alison at the same time. I've just finished all the prep-work for my Training tomorrow, so I'm feeling a little loopy.
