My weekend

blue_lotus13On Friday I took part of the day off, did a bunch of errands and then went downtown to see "Nine." My verdict, great production numbers, low on plot. It's a bit like "Avatar" because you have to turn off your brain. In reality, all it is is a festival of boobs. Everyone's boobs are hoisted up to their chins and look amazing. Even Judi Dench displays an impressive rack in this movie. My annoyance with Nicole Kidman continues to grow, especially since she has now had so much botox that it has become difficult for her to move her face.
The camera seemed determine to linger on various breasts and was even more intrusive during a dance number starring Penelope Cruz. In that particular number, Cruz is wearing this tiny little body suit with an extremely thin strip of fabric between her legs. Actually, a lot of the outfits worn in this movie are tiny, and I think a Brazilian waxer must have been employed on set. There are a lot of crotch shots and I think I might have even seen her uterus in one dance move. It was rather disturbing and I felt slightly violated. So yeah, there are some great dance numbers, but I wouldn't run down to see this one. I'm curious as to how the Oscars treat it.
That night, it was Mari's birthday, so 8 of us gathered to go out for dinner. We had good food, but our waitress was probably baked out of her skull. She seemed VERY stoned. One of the diners at our table was celiac. He ordered the salmon, as did our friend Tom, a non-celiac. After they'd been eating for a while, the waitress came out and told us that the wrong plates had been delivered and that Clinton had been consuming gluten. I was more pissed about this than anyone else at the table, probably owing to my severe nut allergy. I had a hard time not glaring at the waitress.
Saturday I did more errands, walked around the area and did a bunch of things, then went to a wine and cheese at my friend Amanda's. Amanda has just cleared the over 30 milestone, and so there were a lot of people (and about 10 different cheeses) at the party. I decided to bring a tray of cut up pears, because I thought the fruit would go nicely with the wine and cheese. It was a massive hit and people just went crazy over those pears. So there's my recommendation to you if you are ever at a wine and cheese party and don't really know what to bring.
Oh, and I finished watching all of Glee. Interested to see what they'll be doing when it starts up again.

This made me laugh, I'm sorry.

But then I think "well, it's frothy and stupid, but I like watching hot guys sing and dance and I kind of want to plough Noah Puckerman."
