2011 Oscars

Well, I always try to watch the Oscars. I like the celebration associated with film. The fancy gowns and the acceptance speeches.  We all know who the critics picked. I am not going to bore you with how I feel about them. I am happy for Toy Story 3 and Alice in Wonderland. I feel both their Oscar wins were well deserved. I just want to take a moment to recognize some recent movies I have seen and enjoyed. In no particular order:

Love & Other Drugs - Yes there are several sex scene but it really is just a love story.

Morning Glory - Sometimes I feel a lot like Rachel McAdam's character.

No Strings Attached - It's a chick flick but it's good. It reminded me of 500 Days of Summer.
The Social Network - How many people are on Facebook now? Need I say more?

The Tourist - Clever. I want Angelina Jolie's wardrobe. If anyone has it, please send it to me.

RICE Thai Cuisine

First a thanks is do to my friend Brian. He pulled me out of my apartment for the night and we tried RICE Thai Cuisine. It was delicious. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the food. We had flavored tea, Pad Thai and spicy orange curry.  I am always debating whether Thai food or Indian food is better. I have to say this place is swaying my vote to Thai. The restaurant had neat sky lights painted blue and fans. Fans like the one below.

I think I would like to have at least a couple in a place of my own. One more thing I ate the leftovers. For me that is a pretty big deal. Sometimes I let leftovers go bad. I hope to visit RICE again soon. If you are in the area I will take you.
