super dinner at paola and jon's

##22:13 Saturday 27 December 2014 JST##

Lin and I went to Paola's for dinner with some cool peeps including Jas, Rob, Rio, Ryo, and Tomoko. Ryo and Tomoko brought their rabbit, Nana; Rio brought a box of tissues. Rob works with Jon who had to work a bit during the evening.

Food, of course, was amazing, and I tried amaretto for the first time. Pretty yummy!

I've wanted to see this movie ever since I was a little kid when it first came out. Tonight, we are watching it on Hulu. (and by watching, I mean I'm watching, and Lin's taking a shower. She'll sleep on the couch soon after she gets back.)

Well, it wasn't terrible, but it was definitely dated.

A review on Jinni said

It is certainly not boring, but it doesn't seem to add up to
much. Besides a few personality quirks, the characters are not
very clearly delineated, making it somewhat arbitrary who survives
in the end and difficult for us to even care.

Yup.
