"Ladies, we're gonna have some fun!"

Feb 24, 2009 22:13

Friday night I went over to Jo's place, and we had a great evening.

I was always brought up to bring a gift to people's houses when I stay there and of course, Jo was no exception, although I was really pleased at how my gift wrapping turned out! Thank you Empire for your double sided free poster!

Lots of lovely food, large glasses of jd&coke and the best selection of movies equalled lots of laughter!
We had pizza, delicious nachos, and loaded potato skins, mmm. We started as we meant to go on with a viewing of Big Trouble In Little China, where we laughed ourselves silly at Jack Burton, and the lippy! Then was the grand viewing of DeathProof followed by Sky High and at that point we were just tipsy giggling at the sight of Kurt in rubber!

We took ourselves to bed at 2.30am, and I woke up at 8.30am, ugh. I drank water and went back to sleep until a more reasonable time of 10.30.

I introduced Jo to the delights of Lilo and Stitch, we giggled over all the Elvis references. After a heady evening, we decided to go out for a walk and it was a beautiful day. Jo showed me around Blackheath/Greenwich Park and it was teeming with wildlife! We saw crows, I handfed a squirrel and we saw the deer.

The park was seriously so beautiful, it really reminded me a lot of Central Park! I want to go there again someday. The observatory looked stunning in the sunlight.

So many dogs were there, it was a lot of fun seeing all the different breeds and giggling over this teeny, tiny chiuahua. There's this house that reminded me of something out of Anne of Green Gables, I think it's all the detail.

We went back to Jo's place, passing the kite flyers on the heath, and had lunch as well as watching another Kurt Russell film, this time teamed with Goldie Hawn in, Overboard! We laughed so much at the vest scenes! Wall-E joined us for lunch, munching on a bit of Dorito.

I kept getting distracted by acrobatic squirrels getting food from Jo's bird feeder as well as gorgeous parakeets that I hadn't seen before.

I left, getting home a bit late due to trains being all messed up. I love pulling into London as dusk is falling, it makes the skyline look so dramatic. I just wish train windows weren't so reflective, boo!

Had dinner with my parents and some family friends, then just had a lazy evening, finding cool pictures on the internet and went to bed early, tired from all the fresh air on the walk around the park.
Sunday, Vanilla Sky was on tv, so I recorded that whilst watching most of Tombstone just to cap off the loveliest weekend I'd had in a long time.

Oh, this was Jo's present, I found it randomly on ebay and got a frame for it, I think it's brilliant! I just found out today that it was taken by Douglas Kirkland who has done so many amazing photography projects, especially on the set of films. He's even released a book just of Showgirl photos that I think motorway should pick up, haha.

These pictures are some of the ones I found on Saturday night, and I think Jo would like to see a few of them since she hasn't been feeling so great lately!
I have the bigger versions available Jo, if you want any as work desktop wallpaper!

I don't fancy Quentin but this picture is gorgeous!

QT as Warren, "is that a tasty beverage?" Gah, could you imagine having a drinking evening with him and just chatting about films? It'd be AH-MAH-ZING.
