Thursday went by pretty quickly. Got the oil changed this morning by a Honda specialist. Said the car (now at 124,503 miles) is in fantastic shape and would have no problem making it to 200,000 miles. Though he said it might be a little less on the East Coast due to the salt on the roads. Good prognosis.
While I waited I ate breakfast at the nearby deli. It was around 46 degrees this morning, and beautifully sunny. I sat outside, the guy at the counter thought I was nuts.
Earlier this evening my neighbor and I went to see Tron: Legacy at the 3D Imax theatre in Mira Mesa. I wasn't expecting much and I found myself surprised to be so thoroughly entertained. It's a good movie. Yes, it cribs from Metropolis, Star Wars, Ben Hur, and countless others, but everything works in its context. The first half was truly compelling, and then after a bit of a lull there were a couple of tremendous action sequences. And, above all, this movie looks and sounds fantastic. Daft Punk wrote a brilliant score, have a hilarious cameo, and their music is a perfect complement to the dazzling scenery. I'm honestly surprised that the reviews have not been favorable, this is a very enjoyable time at the movies. The 3D really worked. And Bruce Boxleitner is back from oblivion. Always liked him, and he was very good. Jeff Bridges was terrific, the special effects to cast him as both young and old versions of his character were seamless, and Michael Sheen was excellent in role as well. Good time.
As for the cleanse, you'll find my food gets repetitive:
Southwest omelette: egg whites, black beans, onions, peppers, tomatoes.
Organic PB & J with banana on organic tortilla. Also blackberries.
Broiled chicken (same style as last night) with sauteed onions and spinach.
At the movies I had an organic herbal tea that was phenomenal.
To all my Russian friends, S Rozhdestvom!
