I had Halloween Oreos for breakfast today
Quinn and her boyfriend, Mike, came to visit this weekend! Friday night, we went into Waltham to find Indian food. The first Indian restaurant we passed was void of life, the second was completely empty save a waiter and in the third, the cook had walked out of the kitchen to chat with the waiter because nobody was there. As we crossed the street to get to Little India, with a storefront no wider than the width of my dorm room, we saw heads through the glass and decided to go in. The place was packed; everyone eating Indian in the city of Waltham was in that one restaraunt.
After dinner, we came back to my room to play some card games. Quinn and I had a competitive round of Set before we moved on to BS and Spoons (which is why there are spoons behind my ears in the other photo).
After an attempt to visit a pumpkin farm in the rain Saturday morning, we headed indoors to the Museum of Science, where we watched a presentation on electricity, a documentary about Antarctica on a screen that surrounds on all sides and generally played around with the exhibits.
Almost all of the exhibits were interactive, which suited my companions well. Here, Quinn is using a device created by Da Vinci to help draw people in perspective.
After dinner and getting lost, we finally reached the purpose of the weekend: viewing Wallace & Gromit together. On the left is the window painting at the cinema, and the right features Quinn and Mike eating greasy pop-corn.
Quinn and I were introduced to Wallace & Gromit together in sixth grade, so when we saw news that a full-length feature film staring our two favorite blobs of clay was in the works, we swore that wherever we were, we'd see it for the first time together. While having an adorable story line and whimsical visuals, the highlight of Wallace & Gromit in The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is the plethora of puns. Not a moment on screen goes by without a double entendre, and many of them are on an more mature level, thus pleasing all ages in the audience, which was evidenced by the guffawing of the audience that could rival any laugh-track. This particular movie is one I am glad to have seen in a cinema, as the audience was hilarious. One little boy behind us exclaimed the cutest things (he was fascinated with Wallace's inventions, shouting things like, "Mommy, let's buy a car like that!") and danced out of the theater singing the theme song.
