weekend recap: like a virgin & things of that nature...



SO ANDREW AND I WENT TO A SCREENING OF LIKE A VIRGIN LAST NIGHT. it's about this teenage boy who wants to become a madonna impersonator. in order to pay for the operation he joins his highschool wrestling team in the hopes of winning prize money @ the big tournament. it was interesting, pretty funny actually (sort of like a korean napolean dynamite). the film was screened @ an event held to recognize violence against transgendered people (as part of an annual day of commemoration). before the film, there was a moment of silence and a reading of names of those killed by such violence, which was quite disturbing and powerful. in other news, we (finally) went for some all-you-can-eat kebab today @ vansh, a "surprisingly modern" indian restaurant located in the most showy, upscale "food court" ever. the curry, naan and lassi were absolutely exquisite. of course, i ate way too much then relegated myself to the couch for the rest of the day. andrew fared well, managing to polish off a few tigers w/ his meal (the fizzy kind, not the fuzzy kind). i think it's safe to say that'll be my last all-you-can-eat anything for the remainder of my time here... although i hear the banana pancakes are pretty guaran along the backpackers' path, which i've officially started scheming for, btw. any suggestions? you know where to find me. PS i also discovered just how easy it is to rip ridiculously cheap cargo pants. that is all//
