I’ve been spending a fair amount of time with Jason and Noriko recently.
Friday night, I went to a nice little restaurant called “rime” (the “e” is backwards, I can’t do that online, though).
It was a Turkish restaurant / electronica jazz club. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a combination Turkish restaurant-jazz club before. But the food was good, and the music also.
I took lots of pictures, some with my camera, some with Jason and Noriko’s. Then by accident I slammed their camera into a glass of beer, shattering the glass and cracking their LCD screen. But the beer glass, though the top two-thirds was in shards all over the table, didn’t even spill. True story.
This morning I went to The Elbow Room, a breakfast cafe in Yaletown. Susie says her Eggs Benedict were superb, but my French Toast was spongey and the service was rude, but not rude enough to be entertaining.
Or maybe it was too early in the morning for witty repartie. Whatever.
Tonight, I watched The Incredibles on DVD. This makes it the fourth time I’ve seen that movie, and, while it doesn’t get better with EVERY showing, it certainly never gets worse. This time I noticed the wacky keyboard inside the island’s main computer, and the opening shot of the ‘60s news footage, interviewing Mr. Incredible when he was younger, starts with the words Pixar and Disney streaming by vertically on the fake film footage.
Note to self: ALWAYS, ALWAYS take a waterproof layer when you leave the apartment. How many times must you learn that particular lesson?
