Well, that was a damn good takeaway. I don't know how I've gone through my entire life without knowing about a dish so delicious as Pad Thai (rice noodles in sauce with meat, which is a pretty nondescript way to describe a very individual dish), but it's now an immutable part of my life.
Last night, I watched the latest Babylon 5 telemovie, which aired in the USA in January. Being a pilot, it had its share of things that didn't work, but on the whole I thought it highly enjoyable - certainly it knocked the spots off the original B5 pilot. Those characters that got screen time certainly seemed to be interesting... the plot seemed like a bit of a rehash but I don't doubt JMS's abilities. I hope it gets a series.
I'm debating whether to watch an anime movie on the Sci-Fi channel tonight: 'The Castle of Cagliostro'. It's an early film by Hayao Miyazaki, the creator of Princess Mononoke and Kiki's Delivery Service, a giant figure in Japanese animation whose artful and enchanting movies are loved by children and adults worldwide. It's an excellent movie (I've seen it once already) but it doesn't finish until 4am... well. I guess I don't really need to sleep.
Lupin III is for thee.
