 me that two hours into me waiting for him, then told me if I waited another hour he thought she might not show. I never heard back from him that night, so I guess she did. Dude does this for other shit, too. I'm super grateful he's around to help when I have car trouble, but the guy once told me he'd be there around five to help me and I didn't see his ass until 9:30. He had been texting and calling the whole time about how he was "on his way" but apparently he hadn't gotten out of bed and kept falling back asleep. Other friends have written this guy off and I don't want to do that, but it makes me feel like a huge asshole lecturing him when he pulls this shit.

This dish is one of my favourite meals, and it’s super easy to make. I like to enjoy the dish with rice but you can use any other grain you like or enjoy the dish on its own. If you don’t have time to cook your chickpeas, then get them from your local health food store. Make sure you get them in a glass jar to avoid BPA, which is a harmful chemical found in canned foods.
Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds. When they pop, add the chopped onions.
Lower the flame, and add the ground ginger, paprika and garam masala. Stir well.
Add all the chopped vegetables.
Mix well and add salt (as pr your taste).
Add a bit of water, and let it simmer for a few minutes until the veggies are cooked (I like them slightly crispy, not overcooked).
Add the cooked chickpeas into the pan just before you serve the dish. Stir well and let it simmer for 1-2 minutes.
Optional, sprinkle fresh parsley or chopped coriander before serving. Enjoy!

Zhang Yimou’s $100M “Flowers of War” looked like it might have a chance to break China’s all-time record for a Chinese film. The film it had to beat was Chow Yun Fat’s “Let the Bullets Fly,” which grossed $103M in 2010. It was the first Chinese film to break through the $100M barrier.
“Flowers of War” had already taken in $93M by mid-January. With the Lunar New Year holidays just about a week away, I had thought it could catch up to “Bullets.” That didn’t happen. By the following week, it had already dropped off the top 10. Since “The Flying Swords of Dragon Gate” occupied the tenth spot on that list and had only grossed $0.8M for that week, “Flowers of War” had probably topped out at around $94M.
That means not only did it not break the all-time record, it couldn’t even manage to beat the $96M taken by second place holder “Aftershock.”
Consequently, “Flowers of War” nows ranks third on the all time list in China for Chinese films. Sure, no records were broken, but $94M is nothing to complain about. Third on the all time list is not bad either.
Tsui Hark’s “The Flying Swords Dragon Gate” starring Jet Li is fourth with $84.4M. It can at least claim to be the highest grossing martial arts epic of all time in China. (I guess “Flowers of War” can make a similar claim too - China’s highest-grossing war epic of all-time!)
Since Zhang Yimou alone couldn’t set a new box office record in China, maybe Chow Yun-Fat and Donnie Yen together can in July with the $63M budgeted “The Monkey King 3D.” I doubt Jackie Chan can do it with “Chinese Zodiac.” The guy’s 57!
