You know that feeling you get when you do something new? That idea of, "oh, this is completely new I hope it's fun" kind of thing? I got to do that a lot yesterday.
1. New restaurant! I went with some friends to Mimi's Cafe. First off, who knew quesadillas could be so small? The bowl of coleslaw they gave me was bigger (and who eats that stuff by the bowl anyway?). Still. Good food, good friends.
2. I watched a Bollywood film. I want to learn to sing like that someday. Also, I learned that these movies just keep going. There are misunderstandings, sword fights, people dying and jealous nursemaids. The girl finally went back to the guy (long story) and everybody dances and sings and the guy is hailed as the best emperor. And those of us watching stretch and say, wasn't that good? And then the emperor gets shot with an arrow and we realize, hey, it isn't over yet. Whoops. So we continue. Somebody dies and conflict is resolved and the guy and the girl have a touching love scene that lasts about ten minutes when two would have been fine and that has to be the end, right? The screen blacks out, we sigh . . . and then it shows a scene of conspirators who are going to go after the throne. Seriously. This is just like a soap opera. Not that I've ever watched one, but I imagine this compares. So there's a battle and somebody else dies and the emperor -get this- forgives the rebel and then, only then, is it over. Was I puzzled? Yes. Will I watch another one? Most likely.
3. I started a blog. In case you didn't notice. This is going to be an interesting experience. I don't really know what I want to do with it yet. Make someone smile, maybe. Get my ideas out on this crazy thing called the internet. Promote world peace (Miss Congeniality, anyone?). I can only hope I don't make too much of a fool out of myself. Wish me luck!
