Finally got enough cash for a small bucket of popcorn. There’s a theory explaining the more you’re afraid of something happening would make it happen faster than you think. Well, that’s what exactly happen to me yesterday. I put my lovely popcorn in the seat and thinking the woman sitting left may knock it off at some point. And she did, sooner than I expected.

However, this little incident did not ruin my wonderful night with the great Stanley Kubrick work on big screen. We may talk about this later in a more serious post. Sheldon in TBBT once said, “Movie without popcorn?! Listen to yourself!” He’s right. Movie is supposed to be bond with popcorn. And where does that bond come from?

The Importance of Rice in a Katzu

This is what I had for dinner tonight. I ordered a shrimp katzu in a Japanese restaurant. I don’t know if you treat RICE as importantly as I do. But I definitely cannot survive without rice. Although during the first two years of my life, I lived with my grandparents who are used to eat flour-made dishes like noodles and dumplings. However, deeply influenced by my father’s eating habbit I grew up to be a person who loves rice.

I cannot emphasize more about how important rice to me in a katzu. Someone may claim that katzu is delicious because of the chicken, pork or shrimp, which is of course the main part of the dish. But for me, without a bowl of perfect steamed rice, it cannot be called “katzu.”

The category “Screen Capture” shouldn’t be confused with “Rambling.” I will just stop here. But a little bit about work today. Chris resigned. I kind of miss him. I’ve always thought there’s a connection between us. Maybe it’s because we are both somehow addicted to writing and photographing. To some people, maybe he’s a little weird, but for me that’s his personality. Personalities make who we are.
