Weekend Recap

[snogged]

I had one of those rare weekends where I didn't have to drive anywhere specific and I was ever so grateful for the chance to just chill in the apartment with my boy.

It also helped that Nick and I were celebrating seven years together and we did so by eating steak dinners at Applebee's and seeing the film, Unstoppable. I was fairly impressed by it and was happy to see Ethan Suplee get a fairly serious role for once (For those who don't know, Ethan played the "Sailboat" guy in Mallrats and also played Earl's brother on My Name is Earl.) Plus, Rosario Dawson is in it and I think she's positively gorgeous.

Other things I did this weekend:
* Watched The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. I was a bit bored during the first hour, but I got into it soon after that. Makes me think I'll read the book after all.
* Caught up on Lie to Me, Community, Vampire Diaries, Grey's Anatomy, and Raising Hope.
* Watched some Buffy Season 5 as research for my Which Witch fic.
* Typed up a writing sample of how I write case notes, which I need to submit to the psychologist who interviewed me to prove that I can write. (Apparently, they hired a girl once who couldn't write case notes. Head...Meet Desk.)
* Whipped up a Hamburger Pot Pie recipe I got off Betty Crocker and am now enjoying the leftovers for lunch.

All in all...good times, my friends, good times.

It was.

And thanks! I wrote 200 words last night, though I think I need to go rewrite a bit of it and change the flow. The muse is being fickle, I suppose.

Congrats for your anniversary! :)

I read "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" but I haven't seen the movie. I'm not sure if I wanna see it, don't know why since the book was good, even though it was disturbing indeed.

The film definitely had it's disturbing moments, especially with Lisbeth's guardian. Ugh! I get the shivers just thinking about it.

[evangelin1202.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the book started normally and then I was like "omg!" and now I wonder if actually seeing it is a good idea.

Absolutely! Even though you know she's filming it, it's still horrible. In fact, in the book she's a lot more badly injured that she seems to be in the film.

He really gets his comeupance though!

I had a hard time watching that part too.
It was difficult to get excited about her getting revenge when she was giving him the same brutal torture that he gave her.

Your description of the Dragon Tattoo movie is how I felt about the book. It was slow for the first 100 pages or so then I couldn't put it down.

Yay, someone else is watching Raising Hope!

[snogged.livejournal.com]

That's reassuring to know. I keep meaning to read the book.

And yep! Nick and I love it. :)

I missed the pie part initially so I was like Hamburger Pot...Hmmm... well that's random.

Glad you had a nice weekend off. :)

[snogged.livejournal.com]

lol.
A Hamburger Pot would make cooking interesting. Would it be a pot made out of hamburgers or one that makes your food smell like hamburgers?

[cee-m.livejournal.com]

Or hamburgers made with pot in them?

Sounds like a pretty good weekend!

It was!

I think I'm going to see Tangled this weekend. :P
