New Year's Eve

On Tuesday, met Ryo again and watched The Spirit and dinner at Pot Sticker King. I went into the theater expecting the movie to be a serious superhero flick, so I was disappointed to find that it's cheesy and campy, with weak storyline. The scene sequences, dramatic struture and plot set ups in the movie are not something script readers would like and it's not what we are taught to do. As the movie goes along, I think of it as a comedy and was able to enjoy the rest of the film. Think of it as a campy superhero parody.

So yesterday, New Year's Eve, I stayed home all day. My mom took one of her vacation leave days, since she can't carry them to next year, and came home half day. We watched movies on cable. I couldn't remember what I watched, but I liked it. I'm not making a lame joke here like I often do. I really can't remember. I remember that I was enjoying myself in front of the tv, but I can't recall exactly what I watched. Moving on, I watched the countdown at Times Square, New York City. The Ting Tings performace of That's Not My Name was quite good, and Katy Perry's performance of I Kissed A Girl reminds me of Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Enjoyed the recap of affairs in 2008. Slept early after the countdown.
