(no subject)
Things are pretty quiet at work this morning. I hope this isn't a sign of the week to come.
maidenmember's testimonial was on Friday - it was a good time!! I slept in on Saturday, which is an absolutely unheard of thing for me, until almost 11. I am always up with the birds in the morning, so it was nice to catch up on my rest. My neck and shoulders have still been bothering me, though last night I iced it for a while and it seemed to help a little. We drove to the Embassy in Waltham on Saturday to see 2046. It is the followup (I wouldn't use the term "sequel" for this particular movie) to In The Mood For Love, which is one of my all time favorite movies. 2046 didn't disappoint. I really think that no one shoots a movie like Wong Kar Wai - visually his movies are just in a league all of their own. And I was absolutely floored by Ziyi Zhang. I have seen her in a handful of movies, but I have never seen her act with such an incredible depth of character. She was like one part Holly Golightly, with this ball of fire inside of her. I really was impressed with her. (and she looked gorgeous!)
I was also really impressed by Faye Wong, who I don't believe I have ever seen in anything before.
After that we just hung out, watched tv, blah blah blah. We decided we were both tired and were just going to stay in, when Muzi called around 8. He was having a few people over, very low-key...so we decided that what the heck? And headed over. I don't think we've seen Muzi & Kim since their wedding last summer. We only stayed out until around 11, just had a few beers and got caught up. I've decided that I can't take offense to the fact that Kim barely responds when you speak directly to her. There were other friends of theirs over, and it was the same thing with them as it is with us. I mean, we've known Kim since she first started going out with Muzi & I never knew whether or not to take it personal. Sometimes, when Jake is around he can get her to be more chatty - but I really just think it's her personality.
On Sunday we drove up to Nashua to get my sister a baby shower present before the invitations get mailed, did a few errands near home and went grocery shopping. That was pretty much our day. I did some cleaning around the house after Ron went to practice and that was pretty much it!
