A night with His Dudeness
Finally, I met up with Flor on Tuesday. Moreover, I met up with Flor AND Agus, whom I haven't seen since Flor's birthday (back in...late August! Shame on me!^^'). Talked about movies (as fortunately- or not?- we can't talk shop: Flor studies Biochemistry, Agus Biology and I'm the freak who chose Art History:P), eat Xmas snacks (i.e. turrón,peanuts and raisins covered with chocolate) and watched Big Lebowski. Epic win! I still find weird that Jeff Bridges accepted the role of "The Dude", which is pretty understandable if you take into account that I've seen The mirror has two faces like a billion times (blame it to my VH1 addiction^^') and Big Lebowski was released only 2 years after this one...what a change! Weird, but in a good way anyway:P After that, we amused ourselves with silly videos on youtube (if you're bored, I recommend you looking for "funny talking animals- bbc walk on the wild side"- I guarantee you tons of ridiculousness!) and that was it. Tuesday was also a movie day because before going to Flor's I actually watched 2 more movies- Milk and Chéri. First one was very good, but a bit too lenghty for me, and the second one was just a nice movie to get amused by the sight of wonderful dresses (it's set in France, during the Belle Époque!) and wonderful Rupert Friend, my brand new celebrity crush*-*.
Yesterday I woke up almost at noon (my biological clock is out of order, lol), had lunch with Gladys and Vicky at a Chinese spot inside Paseo Alcorta (a shopping mall) and then accompanied them to the Warhol exposition, which happened to be their first time at MALBA as well; so I improvised for them a little guided tour through the permanent collection of the museum too. I'm glad Vicky had such a great time and that Gladys is finally making an effort to educate her child by planning small days trips to Buenos Aires- Pilar's just not stimulating culturally speaking, and it would be a pity if Vicky grew up and turned into a bimbo:/. After the tour, we returned to Paseo Alcorta (strategically chosen to be our meeting point of the day, as it is only 2 blocks away from MALBA) and had coffee+cake (the so called- and adored- merienda!) with Santiago and my Dad. We also did some shopping, and I end up getting 3 pairs of funky socks with drawings of butterflies, smiley hearts and ice cream cones. I know...Peter Pan syndrome!xD And guess what? I watched another movie! It's called Veronika decides to die and based on the homonymous novel by Paulo Coelho. Haven't read the book (even though Gladys has it) because of my prejudices towards the author, but now I feel slightly tempted...I just love comparing and contrasting books with their movie adaptations!
