My weekend started well with Batman Begins, which I adore.
Things I liked: It's so much more canon than any of the other movies, the guy playing Scarecrow was really attractive to me, Katie Holmes did well in her first Leading Lady A-List role, Batman had a "Batman Voice", Liam Neeson is teh r0xx0rs, hilariously funny script, Gotham looked fantastic, Michael Caine strikes the right balance between Butler and Father-figure, Morgan Freeman is great as Lucius Fox, how Batman assembled his weaponry/suit/car made sense.
Things I didn't like: Errrrr...at one point Christian Bale looked really orange.
On Saturday I slept in a long long time. Mmmm yummy sleep. Read the film festival guide, wept silently to myself over my inability to see everything I want to. Visited Janjo's flat briefly, then on to Karori Sanctuary quiz night which I didn't enjoy very much. Me and my workmates got so bored in the second half (as all the questions were beyond our realms of knowledge) that we staged a gang-war between a juice box, a ginger beer bottle and a much larger L&P bottle. It was hilarious. Then I made an invisible sheep so that C could kill it with a toy gun. It's pretty terrible that these were the highlights of the night...
Sunday not so much sleeping in, but off to Yum Char with work mates which was filling to say the least. Then I bought ballet tickets and Lee went to audition for the G & S that Giffy, Sok and Janjo are involved in. He's got the chance at a main part if he can master the very high solo. He's not sure, he says he can sing it but it might not sound pretty...hopefully he's going to see his mum tonight and work on it.
Rachel, Sass, Chelle and Jase came over for the afternoon and there was mucho crafting. I get a lot more done when people come over. yesterday I assembled a border for Rachel's quilt, attatched it to the quilt, safety pinned top to backing and began hand quilting. Whew!
I also managed to do a load of laundry, make a chocolate cherry torte and do the dishes. Oh the cleverness of me!
