Evan Almighty.

Watched Evan Almighty a while ago.

Carell is one of my favorite comedians and he delivers in this one, but the main problem of this movie is its STORY which is unconventional to the point of stupidity.

Give this STORY to other actors and it will fail - miserably. Yeah, well, the story is about Evan Baxter, the reporter guy from Bruce Almighty. He has become a Congressman and his campaign platform is Change the world. Now, God, played by Morgan Freeman, went down to Baxter and gave him tools to make an Ark.

Now, the ark, as we all know, is a story from the Bible starring Moses. Yeah, now what happens is a nasty amalgam of Politics, Bible and Handicraft TV.

Carell is a good comedian and he is the gem of this story. Sigh, this movie sucks, that's what I want to tell you.

Got to go.

Worst dinner ever.

Friday, with nothing to do afterwards.

Linda Welter, who's got nothing to do as well, invited us for dinner. Well, the folks who were around that time, namely - myself, Jett, Mark, Dandie and Rio said yes (I halfheartedly thought she's going to treat us.) and we went to Greenbelt to grab something to eat.

So they finally decided to go to Ooody's, a Thai restaurant. I pretty much don't like food other than the normal things I eat, but I don't want to go argue with them and just tried it. The waiter gave us the Menu and then strange pictures of food greeted me - Red soups with God-knows-what-is-in-there type of ingredients with it, Noodles served with Leaves, Chicken wrapped in Pandan, and a dessert which comprised of Mango and Rice (that made me want to puke).

So we left the choosing to the expert. Mark seems to know what he's doing when he's telling us that this soup, which I forgot the name, is good. We ordered several foods whose name I can't even pronounce. After few minutes or so, the food came in.

Basically, the Crab Rice was good. Then the rest, er, I cannot tell. The only thing that looks edible aside from the rice was the Grilled Squid, which was only one serving so I got nothing more to say about that. There was this Chicken Curry thing that tastes like Soap. The drink I had also tasted funny.

The collage of strange foods presents an argument if they are really good or not - you cannot decide. What's funny is I kept on eating eventhough my mind can't process if the food I am devouring is good or not. Well, the Soap Curry, for one thing, is really disgusting. And I hate it. Period.

So, after the dinner, we went to grab for some drinks. My stomach feels funny and my mind is really trying to do a comprehension of the things I ate. The guys were chatting and I am just having my drink (85 Peso Beer in Can - RIP OFF!) and I am trying to fight the urge to laugh because I might puke at the person beside me.

I hate that dinner. When I got home, I felt so dizzy that I went straight to bed.

Damn Thai food! Pwe!
