Sep. 28th, 2009 12:06 pmThis weekend was good. Friday I had a craving for Greek food, so after work the Scientist and I went to Greek Islands for dinner. I had mousakka. I love mousakka. Then we went up to Elk Grove to see Surrogates. If we hadn't seen it for free, I'd have a lot more beef with that movie. As it was, it was free, so it's a lot easier to just handwave away the giant plot and logic holes.
On Saturday I woke up to find that he was making waffles. Yay! Then he went off to work, and I went to Evanston for Movie Dictator at Kirsti and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fizzball's place. The theme was "obsession," and so we watched L'Iceberg and Son of Rambow. The first was not my cup of tea ("Belgian comedy" is an oxymoron IMO), but the latter was GREAT and I HIGHLY recommend it. It was fun to see everyone, and we all chatted for hours once the movies were over. Plus, there was Pita Inn for lunch, which was way yummy.
Yesterday we got up late, rushed through breakfast, and headed to the Tivoli to preview a movie. (If a movie isn't digital, then the managers have to "build" the giant movie reel out of the film that's provided. So after a movie is built, someone has to watch it to make sure it all runs properly.) We watched Sugar, a really good movie about a baseball player from the Dominican Republic who comes to the U.S. to play in the minors. It sounds dull, but it was really well done, and it really made you care about whether or not Sugar would make it to the big leagues. After that, we went for a walk in a nearby prairie reserve, and I found out this morning that one of my coworkers saw us as he was biking there. Weird. Then we did some shopping, had dinner at his parents' house, and got home just before a HUUUUUGE wall of thunderstorms crashed down from the sky.
So that was my weekend. And now the weather has turned and it's colder and very windy outside, which means autumn is officially here. Yay! Tomorrow's high is only in the mid-fifties, which means it's sweater weather. I am pleased.
