Ending the week on a good note
From ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bestill: Check out Lizette Greco and (more notably) Lizette Greco's kids. If you have Flash 8.0, check out the video. I'm telling you, if I thought kids of mine would've come out this great, I'd have had a dozen. Oh my god. Cute. Freaking. Kids.
Enough time has passed since the demise of my beloved Lawrence Ruchi restaurant, so I thought it would be safe to try India Palace for lunch yesterday. Well. It wasn't bad. But I have to say, it certainly didn't taste good enough to compensate for the extreme bloating and gastrointestinal distress suffered for the remainder of the day. Ugh. Misery. I took off my jeans as soon as I got home, and put on my loose flannel PJ bottoms. Even those left elastic wrinkle-bumps across my swollen belly. Ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. From now on if I want Indian food, I'm gonna have to cook it myself, or plan a trip to go to the Ruchi in Kansas City.
I've had a little over twenty-four hours of nose-breathing and I'm telling you, life is grand. I'm still waking up at night (only twice last night) and waking for good around 6:00 a.m., but it's progress. Maybe the sleeplessness is just seasonal insomnia. I'd forgotten about that.
Finally, did anyone else hear the NPR story about digital movies that broadcast on Wednesday? This had to be one of my all-time favorite articles ever aired because of one particular quote. Here it is. See if you're as amused by it as I:
At most movie theaters, viewers didn't see the Star Wars films as George Lucas envisioned them. With film prints, quality degrades with each copy and every showing.
Rick McCallum produced the last three Star Wars movies.
"I traveled to 60 cities across America," McCallum says. "I went to small towns, I went to big towns. I went to where ever the films were playing. And I was so dismayed, I was so appalled. I couldn't believe how truly bad it was."
Yeah, Rick. I think that's how we all felt.
