Blurred Line

Went to Kinki last night, which is one of the "hip" restaurants in town. Unfortunately for me, it's largely a sushi restaurant, and I'm pretty sure I'm one of the only metropolitan twentysomethings in the world who just isn't down with sushi. I mean, I don't find it revolting or anything, but it's not a lot of food considering how much it costs, and it's just not that tasty.

Anyhow, what made the evening interesting is that the DJ there was playing some of the worst mash-ups I've ever heard in my life. At one point, there was even a mash-up of "We Will Rock You" and, I cringe to think of it again, "In Da Club". Agh.

I also finished reading Michael Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. An unbelievably good book, by the way. The blurbs on the back include the words "towering" and "sprawling" a lot, which are definitely right on the mark. Big, big thumbs up from me. The plot line goes a little something like this: In 1939, Josef Kavalier escapes from his native Czechoslovakia to the home of his relatives in New
York City. He's got plans of making it big so he can save enough money from the fate befalling the Jews in Europe. His cousin, Sam Klayman, is a comic book fanatic and, with Joe drawing and Sam writing, they come up with The Escapist. The book follows them through the years before they met, the golden age of comics during WWII, and the post-war years. If you haven't read this one yet, it should definitely be on your list.

Keyword of the day: Have to go with "movie that shows white haired man pointing to a jack daniel's bottle on a shelf". I think that's The Santa Clause IV: St. Nick vs. The Bottle. Because his cheeks are red for a reason.
