Yesterday was quite a day, if you ask me. Woke up late feeling slightly woozy (that damn mojito’s a traitor!), and after much deliberation with my shobe of where to lunch, descended on nearby Ineng’s.
Ineng’s still is considerably ok, with their trademark 7-inch barbecues. But I don’t know, it just doesn’t bring that Salcedo weekend market aura that it used to come with. Yesterday’s lunch was still great tasting, but it lacks the kick that made me proclaim Ineng’s as the best barbecue on the planet a couple of years back.
After lunch was over, went next door and had a Gonut. Being on a diet, my attempts at talking myself out of it fell on deaf ears. But consuelo de bobo I guess, is that I ‘merely’ treated myself to an amazing glaze lite. How’s that for self-rationalization?
Metrowalk was next on the itinerary, and I got myself two dvd’s, Chuck and Across the Universe. Shobe herself got two, one of a film whose title escapes me, and Gossip Girl being the other. Curious as I am with Gossip Girl, but already with an unfair predisposition in place, I don’t know if I’ll get to watch this series. But we’ll see, perhaps when I’m THAT bored.
Anyway, got home, and got started on Chuck.
(Yes, I deliberately put in the most unflattering picture of our accidental hero, because) there’s something about Chuck’s bashful innocence that makes the show tick. He is the sweet, clumsy and down the earth every-guy, something we can admit we find ourselves wanting to be at certain times.
And yes, as of the moment, still awaiting whether or not our not-so-pedestrian schmuck gets the girl in the end. It may seem that rooting for Chuck is for the show’s best interest, but as long as I get shots of underwear baring Sarah Walker every episode, I’ll pretend to not really care.

In the middle of it all, I managed to turn the idle, dust-gathering PS3 at home into a modern, kick-ass media center. I can now stream movies and mp3s from my laptop wirelessly to my TV. Now, this is indeed the way to go; makes piracy all the more worth it. Thank God for EyeConnect.
