some things i've recently spent money on...

my friend rabiah and i expanded our tastes in food this past monday by eating at this place called kamal palace in long beach. we were with our friend david and he ordered the food spicy. we are ok with spicy, but this was SPICY!!! wow! it made our eyes water and our noses run and our mouths burn like nothing else! but at least we can say that we have tried indian food now as opposed to our usual diet of pf changs! i also found out that rabiah had never been to chili's so later that night i took him to check out the skillet queso! no one should go through life without skillet queso! (unless you are a veggietaryan or lactose intolerant). that same day we also went to see the movie kung fu hustle which i HIGHLY recommend to anyone who likes being entertained! :) it's VERY VERY GOOD! i can see why entertainment weekly gave it a grade of A- !!!

oh!, i also bought the cast recording to the new broadway musical monty python's spamalot! starring tim curry, hank azaria, david hyde pierce and sara ramierez. it is HILARIOUS!!! the music is all very catchy and the lyrics are typical monty python fun! :) just listening to the CD i can see why the show topped the tony nomination list with 14 nominations!!!! but i was also a little sad to see that chitty chitty bang bang didn't even get nominated for best musical! :( oh well,... it's probably still gonna be a huge hit! after all, "miss saigon" lost the best musical tony award to "the will rogers follies" the year they both came out but went on to stay open for some 10 years after "...follies" closed, so i guess anything is possible! :)
