A review of our weekend:

Friday: Lisa and I went to see an apartment for consideration for lisa to move into-rejected. On our way over to this apartment, we walked by Ally Sheedy:

Then we sat on a stoop of a nice looking building on 80th street and pondered life and said apartment rejection. Then we ate at a place called Brother Jimmy’s which has close-to-southern food and real sweet tea! As I am sure you all did on Friday, we then rolled over to the movie theatre to see Journey to the Center of the Earth: 3D. That’s right, I said 3D.

  • Review of said movie: after much consideration post-film, Lisa and I decided that the movie had to be in 3D or else it could not have been made. Not because of the graphics that would not have been as cool in regular D (is that a phrase) but because you needed the 3D-ness (is that a word) to distract you from the cheesiest dialogue ever uttered on film. I am almost positive that the group of writers got together and challenged one another to come up with the corniest thing you could say while undergroung and being chased by a dinosaur and then to write something even worse. With that said, LB and I had a great time. We laughed, we didn’t cry, it was probably still better than Cats.

Saturday: Meghan and I watched the Yankees play the Blue Jays (on tv) and win 9-4. Afterwards we went to see a show called “The Bacchae” with Alan Cummings. A man in a skirt + a chorus of angry black women + fire on stage = good show.

We saw it at a theatre in the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle and these were the views from behind the theatre.

After the show as we were headed home, Meghan and I saw more police officers in/on/around the subway stations than we have ever seen in all our years riding the trains. There were so many that we started to get a little worried about possible scenarios where our lives would be in danger. Luckily, we survived the trip home and the night, so all must have been okay. Dodged a bullet with that one!

Sunday (so far): talked to Amber in the wee hours for two hours. Good times. Then I read some Dark Tower book 4, then Lisa and I hung the new light-blocker shades in my bedroom. Yes, after a year and a half, I decided to commit to window treatments. Nobody be nervous! And a great big giant thank you to LIsa for doing to grunt work! It’s been a pretty productive morning around our house. It’s not even noon and we’ve put up shades, made our beds, blogged, taken out loads of trash, boxes and an extraneous shelf. That may sound like a normal weekend morning to you, but for us night shift workers, we are usually still asleep at this time.
