Crappy Kung Fu Continues!

Nov. 9th, 2009 07:26 pm

Tomorrow night at the Hollywood (Portland) Theatre? Come on, you know you want that freshy fresh popcorn.

7 GRANDMASTERS (1978) A kung fu teacher sets out to prove that he is the greatest fighter by finding and defeating the 7 Grandmasters.  One by one, he fights their wide variety of animal styles (tiger, leopard, mantis, monkey,etc.)  He also puts a young student through elaborate training, and is followed by a mysterious kung fu villain in a weird hat.  Featuring all the best old school sound effects, fighting styles, martial arts weapons, and silver haired villains with maniacal laughter (plus the best monkey-style kung fu fight ever put on film).  Directed by the great Joseph Kuo.  More information and advance tickets here: www.grindhousefilmfest.com

Giving Katy Perry some interesting background from Bloc Party. I like this much better than the original version of "I Kissed a Girl."

Not bitter, not much.

My heart is not lonely or broken.
It's not of ice or of gold.
Nor has my heart ever spoken
To me when a love has grown cold.
I felt not the faintest flutter
When you brushed my cheek as you passed,
Nor will I willingly clutter
My life with these things that don't last.

[chorus]
Be still, my heart.
My heart, be still.
Be still, my heart.
My heart, be still.

If our eyes should meet, then so be it.
No need to trouble the heart.
That is hidden where no one can free it
Only to tear it apart.

[chorus]
Be still, my heart (my heart, be still).
My heart, be still.
Be still, my heart.
My heart, be still.

A user on Ravelry, Wonderlywroughte, knit a scarf from my Greek Key Lace Scarf Pattern. It's great to see someone else's take on my pattern:

I just bought this book from KnitPicks during their 40%-off sale. I love this amigurumi stuff. Usually it's done with crochet, but here an inventive knitter has figured out techniques for knitting creatures of all kinds. You know you want to knit an octopus!

Jane Austen, a study of her artistic development by A. Walton Litz | LibraryThing

Jane Austen, a study of her artistic development by A. Walton Litz

Just finished reading this. Fairly easy going, with some interesting ideas about the problems Austen may have been setting about to solve as she was writing her novels, complete and incomplete, and the earlier works. The chapters of this book follow the order of composition of Austen's works.

Tuesday Night: Grindhouse Film Festival presents INVINCIBLE SHAOLIN

Nov. 2nd, 2009 01:16 pm
Anybody interested? This looks like goofy fun.

 

Tomorrow night at 7:45 at the Hollywood Theatre, The Grindhouse Film Festival presents the next film in the Old School Kung Fu Masters series: the classic INVINCIBLE SHAOLIN.  This is a must-see, and this is probably the only 35mm print of this movie on the planet.

INVINCIBLE SHAOLIN (1978) The Venom Mob star as a group of fighters who are pitted against each other in a North Shaolin vs. South Shaolin kung fu showdown! Three South Shaolin students start intensive (and extremely strange) training to master various fighting styles and martial arts weapons. Funky style and huge sideburns reign supreme, colliding with director Chang Cheh's trademark violence and homo-eroticism. This movie also features some of the best training sequences in martial arts movie history.

 

Advance tickets and all information on the website: www.grindhousefilmfest.com

I heart U of Minnesota in a fruity way

Oct. 28th, 2009 08:08 pm
Honeycrisp® apples are great. I just finished a ripe one.

Now I feel vindicated. I just found out that one of my favorite apples is the "mother" of this apple. Yes, the apple that nobody has ever heard of but me, the crispest, most delicious apple that only is in season (gets mushy quickly) for one month in New England, the mother of the incredible Honeycrisp® apple, the Macoun.

Of the Macoun: "The skin is a dark red with a purplish flush. Its very firm flesh is juicy and snow white, tasting sweet with a hint of berry."

Eating three pounds of carrots is quite the orange tinge-er.
But it's hair, not skin, that I adore in ginger.

Slow learner

Oct. 23rd, 2009 02:27 pm
I just bought a new slow cooker. I have had them before, and never used them, so I hope this time is different. This one is small, 2-quarts, so more suitable to my singleness.

So far, I've made steel-cut oats (2x) and white beans (1x). All came out excellent.

I'm going to try bean soup this weekend. I made a lot of soups last winter on the stove. With a slow-cooker I can leave the house with the soup cooking, which I'm reluctant to do with something on the gas stove!

I'm not convinced about beef stew. It would be nice if it actually worked. Some day I'll try it.

Nice thing about beans in the SC is that I control the sodium. Having borderline high blood pressure, I should ease up on the salt.

Can any of you point me to a good resource for simple slow cooker recipes?
