Apple, Coconut, and Other Things

[ziasudra]

Thought I'd pop in to say hi. Life's been busy. Remember that whole plan of working part-time so I'd have more time to write? Well, apparently May/June is crazy grant writing season and now I'm asked to go in every day I can at my other job. So much for part-time...

Anyway, good things:
♦ Apple -- I finally sucked it up and bought some Apple stock a couple of months ago. Great move, since with the excellent quarterly report and good outlook on the upcoming iPhone, Apple stocks have skyrocketed.

♦ Coconut -- I was thirsty while wandering Chinatown, so I bought a coconut -- the kind where you cut it open, stick a straw in, and drink. Yummmmy! I brought the coconut home so I could fetch a spoon and scraped up all the delicious coconut meat. For $1.50, that's the best refreshment I could possibly get.

♦ Spider -- I saw Spiderman 3 with sparkly_stuff and so_severus the other day. It was an entertaining movie, and since I never read the comics, I wasn't one of those fans who fumed at the storyline being changed. I loved all the action parts. The romance parts just sort of... dragged. In fact, the movie felt really long at points, and probably could be cut down 20 minutes or so. But still, good watch. I'd recommend it for sheer entertainment value.

♦ Starbucks -- People are leaving left and right. Students are going home for the summer, and shift supervisors are promoted to Assistant Store Managers and moving to other stores. The summer promotion is coming up soon though... think Zoolander and you'll have a pretty good guess of what the summer promotional drink is ;)

♦ Love -- Weddings are filling up my weekends! Still don't know how many I'm going to yet, but hopefully I'll get to go to at least one in early summer.

♦ Meme -- Didn't think I'd forget to include a meme, did you? Ganked from lynkemma:

I am a subtle taste, like Pine. I am a quiet, fresh taste, almost more of a scent than a flavour. You will be aware of me, but not quite remember me without being reminded. Not that I'm boring; on the contrary, I'm just a little outside the ordinary. What Flavour Are You?

I thought Spiderman 3 was fantastic as well :) I don't particularly like MJ, and that dance scene was too weird, but on the whole, the action and most of the characters were really cool.

Um...did you notice that Spiderman was wrestling with evil on top of the church that's right near your apartment building!? I was thinking "hey, I bet Spiderman could see 6k from there if he wasn't busy repenting." ^_^

For two and a half hours of entertainment, it was definitely a good show to watch.

Hehe, the movie made the church look so much taller, as if it isn't surrounded by other buildings that are just as tall. That was one thing I liked about the movie -- I recognized so many places and felt the movie was really filmed "at home" (it was Spiderman Week in NYC last week *g*).

It starts Tuesday! (And I've already sampled it. Not bad!)

What I'm worried about is that we'll have a bunch of obnoxious customers making fools of themselves when ordering. We get them once in a while, people who think they're being really cool and funny but are... not ;p

Zoolander is one of the few movies that still makes me giggle at the 32594th viewing ;D
