Moments of Genius

Maybe it's not a phone. It is just pretending to be one.

Black Books Season 3

I am almost done watching Season 3 of Black Books. It is so funny! Here are my favorite lines:

"This is life - we suffer and slave and expire. That's it!"

"I am a quitter. I come from a long line of quitters. It's amazing that I am here at all!"

"Look at that face! I bet his corn flakes try to crawl out of the bowl."

"...and I will co-write this with myself!"

"They'll hound us like hounds!"

This one is the best!
"It's not my problem. It's my house, though and I'm not in infecting it with the kind of specimens capable of producing you."

"I can't help it. He looks like a horse in a man costume.'

"He doesn't need friends. They're bad for him. They make him all giddy."

"Stop it! Stop dying!"


Season 3 Episode 6

I can't help being angry when I'm furious!

Don't make sick with my own scorn!

It was everything I expected and less.

Eric and his Hat Collection

When did Dustin Hoffman grew so old? I watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium last night and I fell in love (I still love Kame, though) with Eric and his hat collection.

Whimsy

We went to Shijingshan Amusement Park yesterday as part of our "non-temple" Temple Fair hopping. A lot of their rides were closed (its so cold, no one on their right mind will ride them, anyway) but we had a great time.

We went to the 4-D cinema and watched "Escape from the Bane Mansion". I understood (kind of) the very little of what's being said because it's in Chinese and I can only understand one word in five (I know, sad...) but the effects are great. I did duck so the branches won't scratch my cheek during one of the scary car rides.



Mel got a big pink stuffed pig and I got this really cute bunny I called Whimsy (don't ask, I just feel like "Whimsy" fits) as a souvenir. Isn't she adorable? For those who are confused, she's a rabbit (yes, Liza, she's a rabbit, not a pig!). I'll be sending her to my sister in the Philippines.

How we got there: We took subway line 2 and transferred at Fuxingmen to subway line 1. The amusement park is northwest of Bajiao Amusement Park subway stop. (It is really far...)

Spring Festival 2008

It's hard to believe I'm still here. My second Spring Festival! We went to Tian Tan (Temple of Heaven), supposedly to watch a re-enactment of an ancient Chinese ceremony. But we saw this really cool cafe and decided to enjoy milk tea instead.

Hazel's late (again!) but she managed to find us at the entrance of the Echo wall.

Long Qing Ice Lantern Festival

We joined Chinese Culture Club's Long Qing tour. It's so cold but it's fun. Tobal's late, heheh.
