POSSIBLE JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON TWO EARTHS SPOILER. Not really part of the plot, more the philosophy behind the premise?

“With the coming of man came the illusion of free will and with that illusion came chaos. With every choice we make we literally create a world. History branches in 2 creating 1 Earth where we made the choice and a second one where we didn’t. That’s the secret to the universe you know. Billions of people making billions of choices creating infinite Earths.” – Owlman, Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths

When I listened to this, all I could think about was the conference tool we’re building.

Will you attend this event? – Yes? No?
Would you like to stay in a Hotel? – Yes? No?
Do you require a smoking room? – Yes? No?

ABSOLUTE CHAOS. AND WE HAVE TO BUILD IT. WE ARE THE ARCHITECTS OF CHAOS. WE ARE GODS. in our own little way.

Sorry, you’re probably disappointed in this post :S
*I* found it interesting but I guess you had to be here, in my head :/

Monster – complete!

Thursday, February 11th, 2010 at 12:47 am

My decrease in posts the last few days has been directly related to my reading of this manga, Monster

A total of 162 chapters, the first volume (Ch1-8) set an awesome premise, full of moral dilemmas and some very real, interesting characters. I thought the story after that was good. Not great. It kept my attention, but just good. But after hitting chapter 70, I began to blow through the rest of the manga, totally addicted to the story and immersed in the world. I could not stop reading, every event seemed to lead into a more intriguing event. A giant puzzle with every chapter slowing revealing small pieces until you see the complete picture.

I doubt I would say I loved this series if the end did not carry out exactly as it did. I was very slightly disappointed with it until I re-read it and realized the true beauty of it. It was perfect. Everything was perfectly done.

I would love to re-read and analyze everything if this didn’t take me so long to read in the first place. Maybe someday. It definitely satisfied my need for some good thought provoking material. Sadly, I think that because I rushed through a lot of it, I didn’t give it the thought it probably deserved. I think I’ll pace myself next time…(yeah right…)

Anyways, very happy. I suggest the read if you liked Death Note (Anime)…or Se7en…or want something dark, disturbing, morally thought provoking….

Now please stand by as I return you to your regularly scheduled life, already in progress.

Didier – Winterlicious – Dinner

Saturday, January 30th, 2010 at 12:41 am

**PENDING REWRITE DUE TO SLEEPINESS** – 01/30/2010 – 1AM
**REWRITE IGNORED DUE TO LAZINESS** – 01/30/2010 – 2PM

I’ve gone to a few of summer/winterlicious things now. Only to 3 places for dinner, Auberge du Pommier, Benihana, and today to Didier. While the food was great, I don’t think the food measured up to Auberge du Pommier, but the experience was much better. The staff here was really exceptional, funny, courteous, they made my night.

FYI Benihana was clearly the worst of the 3. It was a regular teppanyaki place, but like, 3x more expensive. yikes. that was a fail of a winterlicious.

If you’re curious, I got a Pumpkin Puree appetizer, Jarret D’Agneau CrÃ©cy
(Braised lamb shank, carrot puree) entreé and a GÃƒÂ¢teau au Chocolat Chaud
(Valrhona warm chocolate cake, chocolate sauce) dessert. The pumpkin puree appetizer was awesome in both presentation and taste. The Lamb looked awesome but didn’t satisfy my taste buds. Someone else at my table that ordered it thought it was great though, maybe it was just me.
You can see the menu here:

One of the koolest parts was that Chef Didier Leroy came out after the meal, asked how the food was, and shook everyone’s hand. I thought that was awesome.

It was pricey, even for winterlicious.
14 for 2 bottles of flat water.
60 for a bottle of champagne (about 5 glasses worth)
and the food, 45/person.
total it was like, 85 including tax & 17%~ gratuity.

Anyways, fun night. I really suck at restaurant and food review. I don’t think I should do this again.

Oh well, it was nice to write something for tonight.
