ramen and movies

Again I wrote a post that I forgot to publish... oy vey.

I am *so* not a Monday person. I just LOATHE waking up knowing the weekend is over and I have to go back to work. UGH.

Had a good weekend... on Saturday morning, Rob and I had THE BEST ramen EVER. We went over to Santa Ramen in San Mateo. Yes, all the way on the other side of the Bay. It was SO worth it. The portion size was ginormous and I ate every last bit of it. I wish I had pictures to share so you could all see the size of the bowl I consumed. Unfortunately, we were sitting at a cramped 2-person table with 2 other couples sitting on either side of us so I did not feel comfortable whipping out the camera, hehe.

We also watched a few movies...

21
We actually went to the theatre! :D But only because we had free passes and a gift card so we totally splurged on Coke and popcorn. Awesome. As for the movie, I really enjoyed it! It established the characters and motivations at the start, got to the "action" quickly, and was entertaining all at the same time. Kevin Spacey was amazing as he always is but I wasn't that impressed with either Jim Sturgess or Kate Bosworth as the main characters. Aaron Yoo as Choi was hilarious, though. Gotta love those Asian sidekicks. I also loved the contrast between Las Vegas and Boston -- Vegas was all bright lights and glamour while Boston was gray and drab. It's kind of an obvious distinction but it created a feel of heightened excitement every time they were in Vegas. The story did get a little complicated towards the end and I do not understand how to count cards but I'd still recommend it. :)

I Am Legend
Good movie but I got a little bored. :/ And I like Will Smith! One thing I want to mention -- it felt like the movie got to the present without really explaining what happened to Robert Neville in the time since the quarantine. I didn't realize this until just now, though, so it obviously didn't affect my viewing at the time. Recommended.

The Game Plan
Cheesy, cheesy, cheesy movie. :D But then I'm a HUGE fan of Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock. (Rob used to watch wrestling religiously -- that's when I discovered the greatness that is The Rock). It was the typical "guy discovers daughter he never knew he had and his whole life changes" story. But I liked it (I think Rob rolled his eyes throughout most of the movie and proceeded to fall asleep at the end) and recommend it.
