Yesterday we saw Inception at the IMAX. After my initial disappointment of learning that it wasn't in 3D (I don't know why I assumed all IMAX movies were in 3D.....) I settled down to view, what I thought would be, a high action suspense flick.  It turned out to be so much more.  I will buy this for DVD to watch it several times in order to fully figure it out.  I actually dreamed about it last night.  Possibly the best movie I will see this year.  We sat a little close to the screen so the action and sound was a little over-whelming at times, but it was still way worth the $14 per person admission.  If you haven't seen it yet and plan to - just make sure you are alert because, in order to understand what's going on, you have to pay close attention throughout.  

After the movie we made out appointment at the Apple store.  My Touch was having headphone jack issues.  They gave me a new one.  Turns out it has the old iPod operating system on it.  I haven't decided if I want to go ahead and update to the newer version since I was having so much trouble with errors on the new version I had on my old touch.  Maybe I'll just enjoy the old version for a while first.

We ate a late lunch at a little "semi fast food" chain restaurant called Pei Wei.  We were actually impressed.  The food and atmosphere was good, and the portions very large - we took home leftovers.  I had the Orange Peel Chicken, and Marcel had the Mango Chicken. Bonus - Edamame on the appetizer menu and Fortune Cookies after.

I'd update. You have a new machine after all!

Pei Wei is pretty decent stuff actually.

So many movies so little time, sounds like I'll have to put "Inception" on my list.

Now I'm hungry again after checking out Pei Wei website.

Ha! I read the first sentence of the second paragraph as "After the movie we made out at the Apple store."

I've never seen an IMAX movie or a 3D movie. I'll have to look for that movie - I do like Ellen Page.

Glad it was a good flick; but OUCH! I'm sorry, $14 smackers to watch a movie, and that's before popcorn!

That must be a good restaurant if you and Marcel were impressed!

I have not seen the movie yet- we hardly ever go to the theatre. Maybe I'll wait for it to get on net flix. I love edamame.
