Cloudy and rainy all day.
Today was a pretty good day. I went to bed late as is my wont, but managed to get up before 12. I thought I was doing well. However, dear husband was up before 7 am. I'm not sure why he got up, all he did was sit on the couch, watch bad TV and play computer games. He was supposed to get a hair cut!
When I got up, we decided to go to Bistro des Pointes for lunch. We drove out there and had a lovely 3 course meal. For me, the only downpoint was the banana ice cream that was served with dessert, but even it wasn't too bad.
We went to the mall and hacked around for a while. I'm starting to look at clothes for a certain niece of mine, but I had DH hanging around my neck all the time. He's a nice guy, but really not good at shopping. Although he says that he's having fun, the bored look on his face tells a different story. I wish he'd bug off for a few minutes and let me have some alone time. After getting tired of not finding anything I liked, I wanted to check out the craft section. While we were there, we ran into Chris and then Yumiko. We had a little chat with them.
Downstairs in the electronic department I found some dvds on for low cost, so I bought them! I got Zoolander and In Her Shoes. Zoolander is funny, and In Her Shoes is really good. The novel was better, but the movie is good too.
We had drinks at the coffee shop and on the way to buy our tickets ran into John and his wife. It was a veritable bumping into of Sakata school owners today.
Fumihiko wanted to have something to eat before the movie. I'm not sure why. I was still nicely full from our gorgeous lunch, plus I was anticipating the popcorn I was going to buy later. He really wanted something, so I sent him off for ramen. I window shopped and enjoyed myself. We met up again, and went to see Angels and Demons.
The movie wasn't terrible, it just wasn't that great! I called it a popcorn movie, and that's sort of what it was. It was exciting enough that you would keep eating popcorn, but not exciting enough that you wouldn't notice there was no butter on the popcorn. Sigh. Tom Hanks' hair was much better in this film, but they really missed on having someone like Ian McKellen chewing the scenery. Ewan McGregor tried, but I keep thinking of him as Obi-wan!
After the movie, Fumihiko was hungry again. Gah. We ended up going to New York, New York. I had chicken which was rather nice. I skipped the salad and just had drink bar with my meal. Fumihiko had curry and rice.
We came home and had a quiet evening. I made him watch Peep Show with me. It's a new British Comedy that we've just started to get. Lots of bad language. Hubster likes it more than Little Britain, I'm not sure yet.
Anyway, that's about it for me. If the weather clears tomorrow I'll go out and pay a bill, if not, I may just make soup! I've been threatening to do that for a while now. Got to go. Night!
