Greetings all two of my faithful readers! I have been keeping busy as usual. I still haven't finished the buildings painting.(I love the word bildungsroman. hehe. Yes, that is random.) I have modified some of the colours and added new elements-four to be exact. The work progresses.
On Friday I hung out with Ange. We went for $5 Veggie Chili and shared a pitcher of Sangria. Outings can be cheap if you know how to prioritize! Nicely buzzed we went to the Old Forum to watch Rachel Getting Married. It was an interesting movie but I don't think I would watch it again. I liked the music and it had a very eclectic wedding in it. (I hate weddings though.) In some ways the movie just seemed pretentious, from the over-the-top wedding to the handheld camera work throughout... As well, the movie was full of all these characters who are supposed to be worldly open-minded creative types. It helps that they all seem to be independently wealthy as well. (It is much easier to fully indulge creativity when money is not an object.) Anyway, as you may have heard, Anne Hathaway plays Rachel's sister who leaves rehab to attend Rachel's wedding. The same open-minded, worldly people mentioned before have trouble accepting Rachel and her relapses, drama etc. I guess maybe that is the point. I just felt that the movie wanted so badly to be good, deep, meaningful and give a message that this self-consciousness leaked through and ruined it for me.
Yesterday Miss and Mr. Dish came over for stew, Caribbean Sunsets and hockey. I don't particularly like the hockey but had a delightful evening nonetheless. Today I must tackle the post-fest mess. Yippee.
