Things of The Weekend

[snogged]

Friday Night:
& Went to visit my parents and we decided to go shopping when I got there. Mom and I went to go look at dresses since my cousin is getting married this summer. I found this dress at Penney's and I fell in love with it.

&Went to Uno's Chicago Grill for dinner. I had the field greens and goat cheese side salad and a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. It was delicious!

&Dad introduced me to the TV show, The Finder. Can't say that it's one I'd watch religiously, but it was a fun show.

Saturday:
&Went to see Cabin in the Woods with my dad and my friends, Mindy and Paul. I'm not usually one to go see the non-cheesy horror films, but I did enjoy this one. Fran Kranz was absolutely brilliant in his role. I also loved the fact that there were two older gentlemen (late 70's/early 80's) who were sitting in the row in front of us and really seemed to be getting into it. When the movie ended, the one looked to the other and said "Time for a martini." Then, they grabbed their canes and trundled down the stairs together. So cute!

&We ate dinner at Mama Mia's and while I've enjoyed their food in the past, I wasn't quite so thrilled this time. I ordered the Wild Mushroom and Herb Ravioli and opted to get the alfredo sauce on the side because I wasn't sure I would need it for the pasta, but figured it would be yummy for the garlic bread. The garlic bread was so oily and buttery that it was hard to eat and the Alfredo sauce came out cold. Like pulled-from-the-fridge-and-dumped-in-a-bowl cold. :/ The waiter went to reheat it and when it came back, all the ingredients had separated. Let's just say I stayed away from the Alfredo.

Sunday:
&Came back to Portage and found that my copy of the Starkid SPACE tour DVR had been delivered. It also came with a mini-Starkid headband, a pair of child-sized Starkid socks, and a message from the Ann Arbor T-Shirt Company saying that I rock. :) Totally unexpected surprise. :)

I know!
It looks super cute on me too. :P

Yup! Gentlemen sure do drink martinis.

I'm glad Cabin in the Woods didn't freak you out.

Sounds like a fun weekend.

There were a few bits where I came pretty close to hiding my face in my hands, but I never got my hands further than covering my mouth. :P

[hisui-ryoshi.livejournal.com]

I had to do that a few times as a precaution from either squeeing out loud or the possible surprised eep.

I don't know I guess my tolerance for things jumping out of shadows has decreased over time.

I still remember when we stayed on the phone together at the end of the BtVS episode "Killed By Death" because of how damn freaky Der Kinderstod was.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

It really was!

Sorry about that Alfredo sauce (blecch), but the dress looks very pretty and I am delighted you enjoyed the film!

Thank you. :)

That dress is adorable! I bet you look amazing in it. It's perfect for a summer wedding. :)

I'll not be seeing Cabin in the Woods in the theater, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Those two older gents sound like a hoot!

Yay for Starkid!

[snogged.livejournal.com]

It does look really cute on me. :) That said, I do need to buy some shapewear to go underneath it.

Do you plan to see Cabin in the Woods at all? I mean, I was really torn about it given that I don't like horror films on principle. But knowing that Joss was involved made it better somehow.

[angelskuuipo.livejournal.com]

I'll prolly give Cabin a try on TV where I can pause it or stop or come back to it as I need/want to. As much as I like the cast, Horror flicks really aren't my thing.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Horror flicks aren't my thing either, but seeing them with good people made it easy-ish for me to be brave.

The Finder is in the same universe as Bones- they used Bones as a springboard to launch it.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know about the Bones connection. I remember not getting into that episode of Bones at all when it was used as a springboard. The Finder doesn't seem too bad now that it's on its own.

[jewelledfairy.livejournal.com]

My initial reaction was similar to yours. I'm glad it is good on its own!

[novemberrain007.livejournal.com]

That dress is gorgeous! You have great taste. :)

The Finder is the spin-off to Bones, isn't it? I wanted to watch it, but never really got around to.

Yay for Starkid! A friend of mine has a purple Starkid jacket and she loooooves it.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was also cheap too so that was an added bonus.

Yep, The Finder is a spin-off of Bones. :)

Nice. Starkid rocks!

[spike7451.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a good weekend. Love the dress. :)

[snogged.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :)

I enjoy The Finder. It's a fun, quirky show. Which means it'll probably be canceled.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I've only seen the one episode, but I can understand it's quirky appeal.
