Incas Grill, Concord - Chupe de Camarones ($24) [+] This is one of the best Chupes that I've had. It's a chowder soup (has milk), with large shrimps, a cooked egg (you crack and egg and dump it in the soup so it cooks and the center is unbroken), yucca, Peruvian corn, carrots and spices. In comparison, Las Americas had a good one with rice and Emelinas has a good one with spaghetti. This one uses yucca for starch which is basically tastes and feels like a potato.
iOS Game - Jump Jerboa (2021) [+] Jerboa is a jumping desert rat. You've escaped from a cage and have to navigate to the exit. Each level is a small platformer with minimal graphics. Your only control is tap to jump (though longer tap is bigger jump) and you move back and forth automatically (bouncing off walls and such). Avoid obstacles that instantly kill you and reset the level, collect the key to unlock the exit door, and collect stars for bonus points. Each level is a few seconds to run through but perhaps many minutes to get the timing right... It's cute, fun and challenging. Free with ads, $2 in-app to remove ads.
Movie - The Professional (1994) [/] Léon (Jean Reno), an Italian immigrant living in NYC, works as a loner hitman for Tony (Danny Aiello). One day his neighbors are assassinated by crooked cops led by police lieutenant Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman) and Léon, who never gets involved, saves the neighbors' daughter Mathilda (Natalie Portman). He soon forms an attachment to Mathilda and has to protect her from the cops who want to eliminate the last witness... It doesn't quite stand up today but if you think about it as a 90's movie it's quite good.
