Went yesterday to the movie theater to see I Am Legend with a friend of mine. Spoilerless review: We both found it to be as good as people on my friends list have been saying it was, and - if you didn't know this already from seeing even a little of the version of Six Degrees of Separation he starred in - it really does show that Will Smith has talent as a serious actor. Also, the freakin' dog was great, man. That was one seriously well-trained animal.

Today we got some pasteles and pernil from the lady that does me and my mom's hair. The pasteles were made by someone else, but the pernil was cooked by her - both were equally delicious. We also got some dulce de arroz (which I'm not that big a fan of) and a little bit of coquito from her to top it off - both were also quite tasty. Yum, holiday food is the best! :D

Anyway, now I will be heading shortly to my friend's apartment to celebrate the New Year with her and her family (and probably will drink more coquito there, since her mom was talking about possibly making some the other night :D), so I'll be ending this post with this: I want you all to know that I hope 2007 was kind to you (and if it wasn't, then I hope it was as benign as possible), and wish you all to have an even better 2008.

Cheers, to the New Year!

Just came back from seeing Snakes on a Plane with a friend. All I can say (without spoiling it) is, it was as delightfully, hilariously bad as I had hoped for, and it was made even better by the fact that, when the music video came out at the ending credits, the group of kids behind us started clapping to the beat. You know it doesn't get any more awesome in a theater when dealing with a cheesy movie than that.

Anyway, I sincerely hope that Mike Nelson will consider making a Rifftrax of it when it comes out on DVD. That would only make it better.
