A lovely weekend.
As they are wont to, deadlines loomed, so I found me at work late Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, and Sunday evening. But in between all that, I managed to squeeze in a little fun time. Saturday night, Amy and Erik invited me over for dinner and a movie. Coincidentally I was just in their area few hours earlier, but they weren’t home. It’s a 35-minute drive up, so it’s no small distance away. But Amy knew the words I wanted to hear. Mmmm, Thai. 🙂 I brought along Igby Goes Down, which I enjoyed a third time through (I haven’t seen it, but I am told it shares traits with Catcher in the Rye.) The characters in this film are fantastic, the acting superb. But the subject matter is a little dark, so it’s not the kind of film you can watch again in a short time frame. But still, very good.
Tune of the day, some hawt progressive house, off Global Underground 025, Deep Dish Toronto, available in fine record stores everywhere: Elisa – Time (Planet Funk Mix) [9.6mb, 192 kbps mp3, 6:59]. (Get it while the link is still up!). Crank this one, it sounds mmm-yum loud.
Kai had Cam, Melissa, Kemp, Jeff and myself over for dinner tonight! She made us sushi, talk about getting spoiled! It was awesome. It was Kemp’s first time having wasabi, first time having sushi in fact. And I discovered I like smoked salmon! Or maybe I should say rediscovered. At family reunions, Mom loves telling how I used to like it when I was two. Ha! Scallops aren’t bad either. 🙂 Afterwards, we had soup, french bread, tea, and for dessert, Kemp brought along some key-lime pie to inject a little Florida culture. An excellent meal, Kai, thank-you so much!
Oh yeah — took a few pics too — enjoy!
