Today's a very humid day here in Shenzhen. Makes me even more ready for the snow and cold back home! I seriously don't like the humidity here and it's only January. Can't imagine what August would feel like.
Forgot to tell you about yesterday in the square. I was walking around and on my way back to the hotel when I saw some guys that were wearing warm up suits like basketball players would. They were getting looks from people because they were my height and 4 of them together wearing the same suits. I was walking right behind them and none of them could have weighed more than 200 pounds. As I walked by two of the guys stopped and I think they were surprised to see someone as tall as they were and probably twice as big and round. Guess you had to be there;)
I've spent most of the day relaxing at the hotel and enjoying the pool. They even have a small paintball field here as part of the hotel accommodations. How bizarre is that? The pool overlooks the Sea towards the south and Honk Kong would be in the distance if there wasn't so much smog!
I was able to watch some of the Dallas and St. Louis football game with Chinese commentary. Still better than Madden! But the playoffs start next week - stay tuned for my predictions.
Here is a list of movies that I've seen while I've been here (mostly at night before going to bed since the TV is pretty worthless to my mono-lingual self. I've included my grades next to them for your reference:
- Wedding Crashers: A- Rachel McAdams is a total hottie but I still am not a huge fan of Owen Wilson
- Brothers Grimm: D WTF... horrible
- War of the Worlds: C+ Tom Cruise over acts in yet another movie. Dakota was the only saving one in this movie.
- 40 Year-Old Virgin: A+ Easily ranks up there with Old School for funny movies
- Flightplan: C I had this figured out before it was revealed.
- Red Eye: B+ Very short movie... not enough shots of the incredible Rachel McAdams
- Aeon Flux: F Easily the worst movie I've seen in years. I will ban this from memory and stick with the weird cartoon of the early 90s.
- Saw II: A- Just as good as the first one - Jen, you won't like it
- Fantastic Four: B Jessica Alba can't act... doesn't need to
- Mr and Mrs Smith: B It's a'ight
- Four Brothers: B+Marky Mark crying in one scene ranks up there with Ben Affleck crying in Jersey Girl. Andre 3000 is a crappy actor too.... "Now what's cooler than bein' cool?"

What?! What?! "Aeon Flux" was pretty good! It completely stayed as true as possible to the cartoon, without too much of the catching-flies-with-your-eyelashes, which she always used to do. I mean, yeah, the love story bit was cheesy, but the rest was good! Not to mention Frances McDormand in easily the craziest role I could never have imagined her in!
Jessica Alba sucks, & so do you. =P
