Little Victories, physical side

Yes, I went to Baji's and ate all of my potatoes. But I ate half to two thirds of the omelette.* And I walked there and back. Yesterday, I biked to the gym and back. I didn't go inside, but that will come.

*I admit to a certain curiosity as to how this will hold up when I go somewhere that it's not convenient to take leftovers home. Because I fucking HATE letting food go to waste.

(no subject)

Hero makes me cry. Even if I can't see the subtitles.

EDIT: Now to try Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon with no subtitles, to see if I can figure out what the fuss is about.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon

I saw it once in the cinemas and wanted to see it again, in the hopes that this time I'd notice whatever I'd missed the first time and everybody else loved. It is still not a bad movie.

I am amused that the voice actors all sound like they just walked off a Merchant/Ivory set (except Dark Cloud, who sounds like Father Guido Sarducci), and it made me think of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and now I want to see Howard's End with wuxia.
