Musings of an Idiot

Pirates Ahoy!!!

Just back from a screening of 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest' - it was an enjoyable movie. Way above and beyond Superman Returns. It is definitely a holiday movie and is a fun ride even though the second act gets bogged down by overdrawn scenes. Johnny Depp is lots of fun again and the CGI is awesome - especially the Kraken and Davey Jones. And yes, the movie does leave you on a cliffhanger - a nice one at that.

The past few weeks have been busy times with school and movie projects, so time has been sparse. Benji discovered a chinese eating joint which stays open late and we checked it out yesterday night. Both of us were surprised to find that it stays open till 2.00 AM - yep...2.00 in the morning and the best part - it is only 5 minutes walk from the house. The reason it is so surprising is that all shops on the shore {except for the supermarkets} closes by 6.30-7.00 PM odd and only the restaurents stay open till 8.30-9.00 PM on a weeknight {with most fast food places closing around 10.00 PM}; so to find any place for your midnight snacks is a huge challenge and the only option is to go into the city - which isn't that exciting an idea. So yeah - really thrilled to find a late night eating joint close to our house.

I got a text message recently which has been bugging me - it says "Philosophy: Small things in life hurt a lot". I think I will have to ponder over it.

And till later,
