QotD: My Intro to the Big Screen

What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.

The first movie that I have recollection of is the original Superman movie. Actually I remembered winning a pair of free tickets to Superman in one of the bottle drink. I insisted my mom taking me to see it even though it was an English movie, and I knew not a word of English then. We ended up leaving the cinema about half way (a third?) through the movie because there wasn't enough action to keep me interested, and I kept asking my mom what was going on.

The proper first movie that I remembered seeing is Star Wars. This time not knowing English did not diminish my enjoyment of the movie at all, for the obvious reason!

QotD: Desktop Show and Tell

What is your current computer desktop image? Let's see it!

Well, let's see. The laptops at home both have pictures of McLaren. JPM on the PC, Kimi on the PowerBook. At work, both monitors have pictures of a yellow Lotus Elise, each from a different angle.

They are all due for a change, since well, JPM no longer drives for McLaren and Kimi probably will not for next season. And the chance of me owning a Elise in the next few years are as good as me winning the lottery…

QotD: Can you hear me now?

What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?

The phone ringtone is the CTU ringtone in 24. I like it because it is different and recognizable but yet business-like.

QotD: Your fantasy restaurant

If you could open any sort of restaurant, what would it be like?

It would have to be a Chinese cafe, specialize in all the lost recipes. Pig blood jelly, stinky tofu (my favorite), pig's lung soap, tripes, deep fried intestines, etc. The list goes on…

Yum!

QotD: Weekend Wrap-up

What was the highlight of this past weekend?

Tried to upgrade a friend's G3 iBook hard drive, and being defeated by one tiny little screw with stripped thread. Not the good kind of highlight, but highlight nonetheless.
