A movie night, birthdays, and other ramblings....
Well, the time has come. Tomorrow night, Saturday 25th February, the New Pad hosts another movie night. This week, the film of choice is The 40 Year Old Virgin. Apparently, its a good film. Hopefully, we get a good crowd, although I am unaware of exactly who is and isnt coming.... i have a few idead, but no definite numbers yet. At this stage, I am thinking that the crowd numbers will tell me whether there is a market for the movie nights or not. Low numbers, and I might call it quits on the idea, but if enough people turn up, then, I guess I can start planning for more.
Lisa and I are in negotiations with our feelings about whether we transfer our allegience to Trinity City to the new plant at Hove. Not too sure what's going to happen in this area, but hopefully this weekend we shall attend Trinity Bay and see whats what. People are starting to move on, away and around within our social group and this is making Lisa and I feel a little isolated and out of the loop with certain people: we try and socialise as much as possible but often plans conflict and we can't always do what we want.
Lisa has been going to the gym ever since The Biggest Loser started on TV the other week, and she's loving it. Apparently, busting your ass on a treadmill is much better than trying to diet and not succeeding. I am so proud of her for sticking with it even though she's working nights at the moment. Plus, she's starting toe firm up a bit, which, is not entirely a bad thing. I know she's feeling a lot better about things at the moment. Mind you, her trainer told her she didn't need to lose weight, and I had to laugh because I've been telling Lisa that ever since we started dating! Now she's more nterested in firming up the thighs and calves and buttocks etc etc. Its given her something to focus on and thats not a bad thing.
Rang my sister for her brithday on monday, and reminded Box about it on tuesday. Gulp, is he in the bad books? Forgetting Kezia's birthday? Well, probably. As long as he doesnt forget nephew Alex's 3rd birthday this saturday, he might escape the firing squad.
Watched Serenity on wednesday, and Sin City last night. Both good films, although Serenity wasn't as good as I had hoped it might be. Still, a worthwhile exercise in sci-fi and a couple of damn fine fight sequences make this a good saturday afternoon romp. Sin City on the other hand, is brilliant. Violent, edgy and alternating between funny and terrifying, Sin City is resitution for Robert Rodriguez after making the...lets face it, ABYSMAL film Once Upon A Time In Mexico. Bruce Willis is great, but Mickey Rourke (who last did anything resembling acting in the Enrique Iglesias filmclip for Hero, and the aforementioned OUATIM) steals the show as the ugly but "heart in the right spot" Marv. Its shot digitally, just like Star Wars, but has both heart and soul (unlike Star Wars) and a wonderful feel of noir to the proceedings. If you havent checked it out yet, do yourself a favour. But be warned: it is highly violent, so prepare yourself.
Thats about it for now. Will report in about the success of the movie night after the weekend. Enjoy yourself.
