My niece would eat the amaebi... She has no qualms.

Is Shinsengumi open for lunch? Maybe I'll drag her over there after the movie... :victory:

Sorry for my belated reply...yes it is open for lunch...in fact they have both a set lunch menu or you can order a la carte off the yakitori menu as you would for dinner, see below.

Here's the website for Gardena location...open for lunch b/n 11:30am and 2 pm

I think you and your niece would love it. If you can swing going after the intense lunch crowd around 12 noon....it shouldn't even be that crowded.

In any event you need to try this place...it's no small shame that someone as yourself who enjoys Japanese food & lives in in close proximity has yet to try their succulent skewers of chicken. :mrgreen:

I heard Minnie Driver was in it. Does she play herself, or a voice for someone?

With kids (even though she's 22) nowadays, yeah.

im sure its only to voice someone in the movie. since Simpsons is an animation.

At age 22, I wouldn't want to hang out with my uncle, but you seem to be the cool uncle who anyone would want to hang out with.

Back to topic: I watched Goblet of Fire last night. I wanted to see it because I just finished the last book and I was still in HP mode. Er, rather, my younger cousin was watching it and I had no other choice but to watch it too. Yeah, that's it. :sweat:

Iron Man just had a HUGE role in the Civil War story arc in the comics. :hehe: >>Wynters comic-freakness comes out<<

I'm re-reading book 5 now, and realizing just how much the movie missed out. It feels more like a filler movie to me now. :sweat:

You and your niece have "clicked". That's all there is to it. Instead of wondering WHY she wants to take you, you should enjoy the fact that she WANTS to see it with you. That's saying a lot about your character. :) Have more confidence in yourself, b-san. :muack: Besides, give the 22 year-old some credit.

Civil War??

That's weird.

I stopped reading Iron Man 4-5 years ago after artist Sean Chen left... He was by far the best Iron Man artist since Gene Colan from the 1960's...

Yeah, I should.

Anyone who loves Nodame deserves some credit. :beaten:

BTW, she watched all of Orange Days and liked it a lot as well. :)

Civil War spanned at least six different titles. It was all about registering mutants/superhero with the government. Iron Man was on the side of the government and Cap America was leader of the rebels. I haven't finished reading the lot tho (I'm severely behind in my comic reading, tho I keep buying the issues to stay on the ball) so I dunno what happens in the end.

O grand! I find Orange Days really hits home to those who are graduating, since it deals with their fears, anxieties, and all that good strees.

Augh, I hate those crossover stories: forcing you to buy other titles... Bleah. :bleh:

They never did that very often during the Silver Age... *dates ones self*

Yeah, she saw some parallels... And she said she got really teary with the final scene... Which was good for a big ol' lump in the throat.
