Sometimes, the best cooking is experimental or accidental...the upshot this evening was twofold: one, great pasta, and two, my sinuses are very clear.
Just sat through Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights...you know, as much as I like Jackie Chan (Chan's the Man, you know), the 2nd film was such an example of the Great Hollywood Sequal Machine: take the bits from the first film that went over well, throw in twice as many and exaggerate them, and screw the rest of it. I wish Jackie would go back to Hong Kong and make real movies...they were so much better when they weren't about the Hollywood stars. I love his work, but it's just not the same.
On a side note, I swear I'm going back on an icon kick very soon...it would have been tomorrow, but I'll be gone part of the afternoon, so I dunno how much I'll get done, since I also plan on doing the next Tarot card. Gotta go with Di to the doctor...and I don't mind telling you that my mind is pretty occupied with that...perhaps more later.
