Happy Sunday to all my fellow bloggers and readers! It's around 8:18am and I just decided to drop my two cents on the web this morning. Pebbles and I spent yesterday up in Pittsburgh shopping at IKEA. We got a few knick-knacks for the house, including a very nice little shelving unit to place on our wall. IKEA is a Swedish company and they always give really exotic-sounding names to their products, so you never really know what it means. For instance, the shelving unit in question (see pic below) is called ENETRI. I have no idea what that word means, but it sounds cool still! Though it's quite possible that the word itself could mean something like "Cheap-ass good looking bookshelf that can just barely fit in the back of your compact car!" Any Swedes out there would lik to tell me what the word means?
Anyhow, not much went on last night still...we came home and assembled ENETRI, followed by me preparing a quick dinner of brown-stew pork and New Orleans style red beans and rice. Settled in to watch a few movies, saw The Core and Bulletproof Monk. The Core could watch still, pretty interesting movie about a bunch of really smart folks digging down 700++ feet into the core of the earth to launch weapons of mass destruction at said core in the hopes of "jump-starting" the planet, thereby averting world destruction. Delroy Lindo was brilliant as the loopy black professor who invented the technology to get into the core in the first place. Overall not a bad flick still. Bulletproof Monk on the other hand was utter nonsense IMHO...also quite depressing because Chow Yun Fat is perhaps one of the best looking, articule actors to ever come out of Hong Kong! Seann William Scott (Stiffler from the American Pie series) just doesn't seem to cut it as an action hero (though he was pretty good as the Rock's sidekick in The Rundown) and it just doesn't make sense. Anyhow, after a vibrant fun-filled sushi of nonsensical scenes tied together by a moronic plot, the movie climaxes with a beautiful shot of the lovely Jaime King's tattooed midsection. Thank God I ended up with some stomach bug that prevented me from seeing the movie in the theaters when I had originally planned to a while back!
Oh yes, a word of note to my Jamaican readers. Highway 2000 rules! Driving on the Interstate yesterday toward Pittsburgh, we spent the bulk of our time in the car bouncing around and dodging potholes, dead deer, and a huge metal thing in the middle of the road. Highway 2000 is so much cleaner and smoother that I have to say once again that I was much impressed by it and can't wait to drive it again this coming summer and I'll be more than happy to give them my $130 toll to make it to May Pen in 30-minutes! It would be sweet if they could get it finished for Mobay still, cause that would mean we could get there faster!
Anyhow, me gone go eat some breakfast! So likkle more! Have a great Sunday everyone!

I haven't used the highway 2000 yet. A bredrin seh that when he first got on it, the car felt like it was full o gas and let off a good fart, after which it breathed a sigh of relief and drove well!
Watched the Devil's Advocate on Cinemax las nite. Good. Maybe if I get in the mood to post later I will make mention of it.
How did the pork turn out? Dr. D.
As for Ikea, they don't have stores in Florida unfortunately - they did in Vancouver where we lived for a short while, and their stuff is great and greatly priced! Since we're still in the home decoration and fixing up process, I've even taken a look at their website for stuff, but they don't even ship here! Huh... what's up with that?
