Highlights from Recent GrubbyVentures
lhalff served an exquisite meal on Thursday. His attention to detail is unreal, and reflected in the mouth-watering goodness of every bite of every foodstuff he touches. And I even convinced people to play Five Crowns with me, after some Gin Rummy to warm us up.
I have watched an inordinate amount of Prison Break over the last couple of weeks, and especially Thanksgiving weekend. I no longer trust any facet of our government and I'm really hoping to meet a nice escaped con sometime soon.
I caught Pasolini's Canterbury Tales on Friday evening and decided to opt out of seeing the third in that trilogy on Saturday evening. The semi-aimless wandering plots of Decameron and Canterbury Tales were fun, but I was ready to stop seeing movies that were more episodic than the television show I was watching.
once_a_banana is perhaps more enamored of bacon than of melted butter. I'm obviously going to have to make something in a fat-wrap sometime soon.
Saturday, sfbridgerunner invited me to use his extra comp to the San Francisco Symphony; I'm embarrassed to say that this was my first time hearing eor74 play since he started full-time with them in August. Anyway, they did Haydn symphony #67 and had people laughing in the aisles -- literally. (Slatkin had some shticky business he did with the concertmaster and another violinist at the end of the 3rd movement.) Not your Papa's Haydn, that's for darn sure. They then did a neat Barber piano concerto that I quite liked, and then the Enigma variations, which naturally had me reaching for my handkerchief during the climaxing-too-early Nimrod movement.
And in fewer than 100 hours, I will be standing in J.R.'s having a drink.
