livingdebI went to a Hot Fuzz party this evening, where we were to dress as cops and robbers. I wore a lot of black things. Robin, I decided, was an undercover beach cop.
After a second viewing of the movie, I have to say I still like it. The one part I thought was too long didn't seem long at all this time. This time when Danny was asking him all those questions, I tried to write them all down and see if Danny had done them all himself by the end of the movie. There weren't as many questions as I remembered.
* Shoot anyone? At the festival, he shot the guy at the shooting gallery with the air gun. And just to remind me to check that item off my list, he said, "I never shot anyone before" afterwards.
* Ever shot two guns while jumping through the air? One of the times they went to the pub.
* High-speed pursuit? Several times.
* Using a gun in a high-speed pursuit? When they were after the store manager.
* Fire a gun up in the air and go "aaah!"? When Danny was faced with shooting his dad.
I also got introduced to Guitar Hero II, a video game that comes with controllers shaped like guitars. It does sort of look like you're playing a guitar while you're playing the game, and you definitely can learn some musical skills by playing, but I don't think it helps you learn to play an actual guitar besides helping you with your musical timing.
And speaking of expanding my cultural awareness, I was introduced to some new party foods at our office beach party/luau yesterday. There is a thing called ketchup chips. They are potato chips (crisps) with red powder on them. They taste a little like barbecue chips. I also heard that the ones sold in Canada taste better than the ones sold here.
And have you had the ubiquitous lemon bars? I got to taste a keylime version. Just as yummy.
And I also had pina colada punch. Just mix pina colada mix with seven up and you get a scary white foamy concoction that tastes just fine. This might come in handy somehow if you need a punch that looks like clouds.
