Weekend Update

Friday was rough. Work, personal, everything. Just really shitty, so I stayed home alone instead of going out. I watched Metropolitan. I really liked it. Simple premise - a bunch of aristocrats 'adopt' a working class kid into their snobby circle and he ends up becoming the most popular. The movie is ALL dialogue, just a warning to people who can't handle that. But if you can watch a Woody Allen movie, this is really no different. It had great class and intellectual jokes, and I found myself laughing aloud a few times.

Saturday...ah yes, Nate and I watched the Cubs game and the Brewers game and sat around until it was time to go to Soup's house for our ride to the 'burbs. Natalie and Matt had organized a trip to Pollo Campero, some fast food Guatemalan/fried chicken place and then to Hala Kahiki, a kitschy tiki bar. The drinks were so so sugary, so most of us could only handle 2 after all that fried chicken. It was a good time, and was really nice to get out of my tiny radius of Chicago that I'm usually confined to. Thanks to Dan and Soup for giving Nate and I rides to and fro.

Today I've been watching too much tv and playing scrabble. A typical Sunday. I should do some work but I don't have much motivation. Audrey's been bouncing off the walls since about 4 a.m., so I've been busy keeping her distracted. Dogs are constant toddlers.
