I had a good weekend. It was productive and interesting. On Friday night and Saturday morning I read the film festival guide. Lee and I tried to go to Shrek 2 on Friday night but it was sold out.
Saturday morning I moaned about having long annoying hair again so Lee cut it for me. Now it is jawline short and much esier to manage. I am very happy.
On Saturday afternoon we saw The Cooler with Svend. It was a fantastic film in which William H. Macy has really bad luck. Evil Alec Baldwin has him working in his casino, moving around the tables where people are winning so they get bad luck too. Then he falls in love and his luck changes. It was a great premise and very well done. It maybe got a bit too gritty for comfort in the portrayal of the corrupt Alec Baldwin but there you go.
After the movie we went to Warehouse stationery and got a desk, cabinet and bookshelf for $350. Lee picked them up Sunday morning with the help of a person with a car. The desk is a well accessorised computer desk with lots of little shelves and cubbies. It fits my scrapbooking stuff beautifully. Now out dining table can actually be used for dining! Or more to the point, playing board games.
Saturday night we went to Jason and Chelle's place because the rugby was on. Chelle, Zeph and I played Beanie and talked during the rugby and then I got everyone to watch the first two episodes of Fruits Basket and everyone laughed in the right places and said it looked worth watching. Hooray!
I was sad we couldn't go to Matt and Debbie's for singstar but we did do that last week and Lee does love the rugby.
Sunday was mostly spent putting together the desk and cabinet. The instructions were diagram only and not very clear in some places, so it wasn't the easiest job in the world. We got it done though and it looks great. I love my new desk.
We did take a break on Sunday afternoon to go to the food show over at the stadium. I was interested to go but the real clincher was reading this entry over on Beautiful Monsters.
It was $15 to get in but we got fed so many samples that it was a very good lunch. Yummy soups, cheese, kiwifruit juice and chocolate biscuits stand out in my memory. Also the guy selling the second soup I sampled called me "gorgeous lovely girl" which was kinda nice and kinda creepy. There was also a really good sundried tomato pesto but they had sold out of the baggies of it. Available at New World though, so not too worried.
Then last night I watched Kiki's Delivery Service again and Lee finished going through which movies he wants to see so we can plan which days he'll take off work and which movies we should book evening showings of.
Today I'm working the late night at the library so I get to start late. Physio this morning though.
