Saw
Up tonight, with square dance friends Bo and Don. Marvelous,
as everyone has said, though I wish I hadn't seen the trailer because it
contained spoilers (mild though they were). We saw it at the
newly-remodeled
Roseway in
glorious digital 3-D and I was amazed by the lifelike sharpness and
clarity. Every Pixar film shows off a new technology (it was water in
Finding Nemo, fur in
Monsters Inc) and in
Up I
think it was clouds and lightning. Also, unlike
Caroline, the
3-D added to the experience and was never egregious.
After the film we went out to the
"cart
pod" at 12th and Hawthorne for dinner. Portland is apparently
an epicenter of food cart cuisine right now. The "hawker centers"
were something I really loved about Singapore, and we really wanted
to try this "cart pod," which doesn't open until 8pm and runs until
3am. For my main course I had poutine at Potato Champion, which
wasn't as good as the poutine we had at Frites Alors in Montreal
(too much pepper in the gravy, I thought, though the base fries
were quite nice). It did not come with a side of statins, though
it should have. I considered destroying any remaining fragments
of healthiness with a fried pie from Whiffie's for dessert, but
sanity prevailed and I just had a few bites of Kate's chocolate-and-pear
crepe from Perierra Creperie. The crepes were the real winner of
the evening; several in the party had one and they were all fabulous.
Will go again, I'm sure.
Tomorrow, we hit the gym first thing.
