Brighton, New Moon and rain…

Sunday, November 22nd, 2009

Keeping up to date, I went to see New Moon with my friend, Jonmin on Saturday.  I’ve been looking forward to it but, I was dreading that it was going to be ruined by shrieking girls (and possibly boys) as I’ve experienced it in last year’s Twilight.  It turned out that the pre-booked seats were well placed and the kids in front of us were too short to block our view.   As the film started, the swooning and wolf whistling began but it was pretty much tamed throughout the movie.  However, this time, I didn’t mind the few vocal reaction.  I was sort of joining them with my inside voice.

Jonmin and her ramen

We ate at E-Kagen.  It’s a Japanese restaurant run by a couple on top of an Asian mini market.  Personally, they serve the best Japanese dishes with generous portion in Brighton.  Jonmin told me that they’re from the Kansai region just from tasting the ramen!  Of course, we overheard them talking in the end to confirm this.

I had my first pecan pie.  You have to say this in a southern accent like in True Blood.  I wanted to try it ever since Sookie  *spoiler* went crazy because someone was touching her dead gran’s pecan pie.  I’m not a fan of nutty dessert but it was pretty tasty.  Next TV pie to try is a pumpkin pie.

Steff joined us today!  So the four of us went to see Up.  It was such a heartwarming story.  Wish I could have watched it in 3D but it was a good film nonetheless.  All the characters are lovable and Dug, the talking dog reminds me of Niall’s dog, Tiehawk.  It makes me want to try out 3D animation again and maybe not to give up so easily.  We met up with Kelly after work at Frank’s Bar.  I haven’t seen her for a year so it was nice to catch up.
