saturdays rule!

I woke up early and made a couple phone calls. One to a friend about going and getting lunch and she wasn't home, which was totally ok, I think in one way I was really hoping that she wouldn't be home so I wouldn't have to leave the house until dinner tonite.

I came to the conclusion that today was all about the cable, while I cleaned the kitchen. While cleaning the baseboards and the cabinet fronts... I watched Signs, which sorry to say I thought was slow and a piece of crap. No Sixth Sence, but that I think honestly was kind of a fluke. Then I watched, uninterupted with cleaning (because the subtlties of the visuals just were amazing) K-Pax which was a much much better visually made movie. The production was just amazing and Kevin Spacey is just more astounding in every role he takes. And now, while I don't pay attention to the tv at all and get ready for a nice long bath I have on Point Break (nothing decent really to link to). I should know better and just turn off the tv actually. Keanu is fighting or something and Lori Petty is yelling about it. Its stupid, but I thought the soundtrack was better, I was wrong.

Later... in the evening.... she finishes watching Pumpkin... seriously, how great has Christina Ricci become. I didn't find the movie at all funny I think because I was looking at it more as a comment on "society" insiders vs. outsiders and whatnot. Next time I am sure I will find it funnier because I know it is in there. And the English accent on Brenda Blethlyn was terrif.

Went out to dinner for my Dad's 60th Birthday party. It was so incredibly nice. We went to Bravo! in the Adams Mark. Sure it is dinner in a hotel but the food was amazing, the vocalists were great, and only when I saw how happy they made my Grandma by singing something from the Phantom of the Opera (one of her favorites) did I get emotional. I looked over at Dad and he was misty too. I don't know what it is, but everytime we go there for dinner, they sing some song from the Phantom of the Opera (which I didn't particularly really like either time I saw it to be quite honest) I just get emotional. And the food is great. So great for the price that they are offering for the classes which is a bargain... and how completely wierd because at dinner my brother and I were talking about how great the red wine reduction demi glace was on his tenderloin and how I would love to learn how to make it.

I don't know what movies are on the agenda tommorrow after I go to the gym, but I am sure I will have something to comment on.
