Huzzah!
First and foremost: I FOUND MY LENS. I am so relieved.
It somehow ended up on the floor in my closet hidden with some dirty laundry that I, fortunately, overlooked a few days ago. How horrible would it have been if I'd throw that lens in the washer with my clothes? I don't even want to think about it possibility -- it would have been absolutely destroyed. I'm so happy to have it back in my possession, completely unharmed. Yay!
Dan and I went to a drive-in theatre last night for a double-feature: The American followed by The Other Guys. The first movie, The American, was billed as suspense/thriller/drama. No. There was so little dialogue, script must have been literally 3 pages long. There was barely any action, except at the beginning and the end, and that was mediocre at best. Overall, it was such an extremely slow-paced movie that it had me bored (I ended up watching parts of Machete on the screen next to us, and I don't even like Quentin Tarentino-esque movies all that much). Really, the best parts of the movie were the scenes involving a topless George Clooney working out. The Other Guys was better, though not by a whole helluva lot. It was definitely more entertaining: Mark Wahlberg was very amusing at times, and hot ladies had some inexplicable attraction to Will Ferrell's character that bordered on the absurd. The main problem was that it sounded like it would be more blooper-action filled than it was, so it was a bit of a letdown -- just as The American sounded much more suspenseful than it really was. If Going the Distance had been paired with The Expendables instead of with Eclipse, I would have gladly seen that instead.
In other news, my weekend is filling up pretty quickly. Geena and I have plans to visit Half Moon Bay on Friday, then my brand new friend Gillian and I are going out that night, possibly to a bar/club type place to blow off some steam. Saturday is tentatively planned for a Stanford football game against Wake Forest (?) with Dan (Stanford's supposed to be really good this year, not that I know anything about football), and Sunday we'll be hitting a Flea Market with Kelly and Geena. It should be a nice, varied weekend.
