[...i ate #184] hummus

July 13th, 2009 Graig

I bought mini pitas to eat with it but wound up eating it wit Finncrisps instead (ironically I found the mini pitas too dry). I quite like hummus, and tend to make it myself rather than purchase it, although I haven’t done so in a while. This hummus was PC branded and it’s garlic flavouring was potent but not overpowering. My favourite hummus is at the Butler’s Pantry on Roncesvalles, which comes from a big ol tub (I once witnessed them doling it out) but still mightily delicious with toasted flatbread.

[...learned #184] very hairy baby

July 9th, 2009 Graig

Laurel was born with a lot of black hair all over her shoulders and arms and head… the mother in law commented on her black hair, “just like her daddy” she said, to which I said, “she’s also got hairy black shoulders, just like her papa”.

That hair though, is normal, and most babies are born with fine hairs all over their bodies (back, arms, head and ears). The hair is called “lanugo” and is usally shed within the first few weeks (but sometimes takes a few months to fully shed). A lot of the languo is shed while gestating and is often ingested by the baby as it drinks the amniotic fluid.

I may be a hairy baby maker, but I’m no Pat Mustard…

[...consumed all new #184] The Accidental Spy

July 5th, 2009 Graig

Jackie Chan plays… Jackie Chan? Jesus, I hate redubs of Asian action films. Yet I watched the whole hatchet job on this film when I probably could have been sleeping. The plot of this film is insanely convoluted, made even more so by the butchering of the dialogue to such a degree that I’m almost positive they didn’t even bother translating the dialogue, but rather coming up with a script from just watching the film. Chan’s action sequences are plentiful, and great as usual, but the story and characters are hard to get behind (I think had they made more sense, it wouldn’t have been so bad). I found it funny that I flipped between from Borat (on Showcase) to The Accidental Spy (on CTV) and within a fifteen minute span I saw two nude fight sequences.
