Amos & Candy – Sleeping and Speeding
Eye candy, that is (the automotive kind)! My friend Amos has a new toy. I’m not really a car guy, but don’t I look sexy in it?? LOL
Yeah, the reason it’s so blurry is because I’m going 120 mph (193 kph) down my street. LOL
We went to Din Tai Fung. The best dumpling house in L.A. (and ranked as one of the ten best restaurants in the world, by the New York Times!
This kid was entranced by the dumpling makers
After a delectable dinner of crab dumplings, pork dumplings, string beans, shrimp fried rice and Shanghai rice cakes we went to see The Golden Compass. I can’t believe this happened, but I was SO tired in that movie, I couldn’t stay awake! I was hoping it wasn’t noticeable, but Amos said that I kept nodding off. Luckily I didn’t snore or worse! (My friend Billy’s mom tells a story of her most embarrassing moment years ago when she was a young, beautiful woman riding the train alone in Chicago. She fell asleep and her head ended up resting on the gentleman next to her, who was dressed in a very nice business suit. When it came time for the gentleman to get off at his stop, he woke my friend’s mom up, only to find a large wet spot on the shoulder and sleeve of his suit!) I’m pretty sure I didn’t drool in the movie…and what I did see of it, looked interesting. The special effects were indeed cool, and Nicole Kidman, as well as the little lead actress were quite good.
Forgive my poor photo editing skills…I don’t have PhotoShop….if I get it, does someone want to teach me how to use it? Notice the tongue? I thought it was a nice touch.
Back to the Porsche (the closest thing to a Mach 5??? Don’t you love how I tie all these thems together?? Carey pats himself on back.)…one movie I guarantee I won’t fall asleep in, is the new Speed Racer movie, starring Rain (in his first American film….albeit a small part, but great exposure to American audiences). The movie looks great! Steven Colbert, take note!!

Hi Gary,
Colin actually enjoyed very much on that barbecue day, not the food, but playing badminton for the whole afternoon!
Hey, you look cool in a racing car, can you test drive it?
Isabella
Oh trust me. The movie was terrible.
ryc: lol, love the self-parody
Oooo… a porsche! AHHHHH! Hahaha. I rather have a Silver Lexus like Regina George though. LOL!
Hmmm… dumplings! YUM!
LOL! HOW CAN YOU FALL ASLEEP FOR THE GOLDEN COMPASS? LOL! I looks good… kind of want to watch it… but… don’t want to waste money if I’ll buy it on vcd later on.
O…M…G… that stupid cartoon is getting a live action movie? Ugh… I think I just vomitted a little in my mouth. I bet you want to watch it just because Rain is in it. Ugh… I think I just vomitted a little more. LOL!
GO Speed Racer, GO!!
I would love to go to that restaurant in February. That is, if there are any reservations available at my hotel of choice (Careyfornia of course). Drew and I went to see that Golden Compass and we liked it. I loved the Polar Bears!!! I also love the personal deamon that each character had. (Nicole Kidman’s was a perfect choice). We argued about who our own deamons would be. I was thinking Great Dane but they are so impractical and could not survive in the ice “up north”. I think Drew’s would be a guinea pig
that is one hawt car!
psf… only 125? haha j/k
ur amos friend looks like Hiro >_<
I’m not sure about the Speed Racer movie, I do interested in The Golden Compass though, it will be soon on in Hong Kong during Christmas times.
I really laugh out loud on the embarrassing tale. LOL….
