Redhead Wednesdays

Morgan Smith Goodwin
Question: what’s better than a hot chick that brings you a chicken burger? Answer: a hot chick that brings you a chicken burger who’s also a redhead.  This redhead’s name is Morgan Smith Goodwin, aka the Wendy’s commercial girl.  She started appearing on Wendy’s commercials this year telling people to eat at Wendy’s instead at a regular burger joint.  So Morgan loves to eat Wendy (lol).  A chick that goes that way is cool with me.  While I do miss Dave Thomas, Morgan is a nice alternative.  She’s got a nice smile, and quirky jokes to make her more adorable than she already is.  Unfortunately Morgan just became famous this year so I wasn’t able to find many pictures of her, but as long as her commercials are on the air I will always think of her when I eat my chili with sour cream.

Strawberry fortune cookies

I went to Mandarin (a Chinese buffet restaurant) today and was surprised at the end of my meal when I received some extra ordinary fortune cookies.  Mandarin now gives out strawberry fortune cookies.  The first thing you notice is how bright the colour of the cookie is, it’s really nice to see a pink fortune cookie.  They not only look great, but they also smell and taste good.  They have a subtle strawberry smell and taste, which is nice because it blends with the original cookie flavour very well.  Its stuff like this which makes Mandarin one of Toronto’s most loved restaurants.

I Love Lobster

Lobster was on sale this weekend at my local supermarket so of course I had to buy some.  I was amazed to find out when I got there that they had these giant lobsters.  I bought three of them, and each one was over 5 pounds each.  A few years ago I bought some lobsters that were about the same size, thinking I could eat two.  Unfortunately I could barely finish one before I had to call in for help to finish it.  So this time around I made sure to invite a couple of friends over to enjoy my feast.  I’m a really good host because I like to cut the lobster completely before I serve it to people because I don’t want them to cut themselves.  This meal made me reflect on some words of wisdom; when you share with others, what you share will be bountiful.

Prometheus

Prometheus is another summer movie I went to without intention.  I had seen commercials about it and trailers, but it just never really captured my attention.  Then suddenly on Friday I started to read the reviews about it and I started to believe that it would be a great film.  It is directed by Ridley Scott who did Alien.  Now I consider myself to not be a Sci-Fi fan but when I started looking back at all the films I liked, a majority of them have been Sci-Fi.  So it took me years until I finally watched Alien, and when I saw it I was surprised by how much I liked it.  So I went to Prometheus with this in mind; that I might actually enjoy it.  I saw the movie in 3D because I heard the effects look much better, and that was true.  Right from the beginning you get this waterfall effect that I was amazed by.  The storyline is easy to follow, and while it does have parts that don’t seem logical, if you watch it without trying to make sense of the science then you will enjoy it.  Besides when has a Sci-Fi movie ever been correct in its science?   The actors are also very impressive in this film.  Ridley Scott was blessed with actors that gave performances that will be memorable.  Of note of course must be Michael Fassbender, who I have been a fan of since watching X-Men and Inglourious Basterds.  Then there is Idris Elba who plays the cool and smart Captain of the ship (I can’t believe he’s Bristish); Logan Marshall-Green who I hope to see more of in the future (like in a cop action movie); Charlize Theron was sexy, and of course Noomi Rapace was outstanding.  I didn’t like her at first because she seemed out of place; too girly to be in a rugged violent alien planet; but as the movie progresses her character starts to adjust and grow stronger and I found that to be powerful because you start to care for her.  From what I heard this movie is supposed to be part of a series of movies, and after watching it I can’t wait to see the next films to come out of this franchise.
