Cristin came over for dinner on Monday night for a Bowie movie-fest, sort of. I was thinking we’d watch the DVD commentary on Labyrinth, but instead we watched several of the “making of” docs.
And then I ran around for like an hour copying some CDs for her while she played on the computer and entertained the cats. And then we watched the first 30 minutes of The Hunger, which is not really very good, not to mention we watched the ancient VHS copy-of-a-copy I own that is very bad quality. But we got to see cute, young David Bowie in the shower scene, so woo-hoo for us! We were up too late but it was fun indeed!!
I made us dinner, sauteed chicken with a lemon-rosemary sauce served with rice and scalded green beans. Yummers!
And Cristin brought over some awesome and chocolatey ice cream cupcakes from Maggie Moo’s. I ate two because I am unstoppable.
And the cats seemed content to amuse us with their funny sleeping positions.
I’ve been waiting for Ele to post to her blog because I forgot to take my camera when we went to meet Finn. This little man is so cute. And getting to hear all of Will and Ele’s stories was just terrific. Definitely helpful, not scary.
Check out our photos here.
To whet your appetite I’m posting this so-so-cute picture of Finn.
Granma has graciously offered to get our crib for us, and we all went out on Black Friday to shop around. We thought we had found the one we wanted, but on a return visit this weekend, we found one we liked better.
And on Saturday we placed the order for our crib! Not sure when it will be here, they quoted 8-12 weeks to arrive. It’s by Baby’s Dream and it’s the stationary Infinity crib. We got it in the Chestnut color, shown below.
Really enjoyed watching Waitress and Knocked Up this weekend.
It was really fun for Dave and I to watch two movies dealing with impending pregnancies.
Ah, and I love the Hal Hartley-esque dialogue and timing in Waitress.
Jenna: Cal, are you happy? I mean, when you call yourself a happy man, do you really mean it?
Cal: You ask a serious question, I’ll give you a serious answer: Happy enough. I don’t expect much. I don’t get much, I don’t give much. I generally enjoy whatever comes along. That’s my answer for you, summed up for your feminine consideration. I’m happy enough.
I wrote my final paper in my Film class in college about Hal Hartley. I got an A-. Later, I sent the paper to the publishing house to forward on to him, and I received a reply! He corrected/responded to some of the points I’d made in my paper and congratulated me for a job well done.
*Sigh* I might have to go watch Surviving Desire now.
