On Friday evening I was feeling exhausted. George was having his farewell dinner with friends so I headed home, via Toasteria, to chill out until George arrived home with some wine. The rest of the evening was spent relaxing in front of the TV.
On Saturday we went to see two great movies. The first was 500 Days of Summer. It was actually a really great movie placing a new spin on the traditional love story movies. It was far more real to life and poignant, in places, than most of the dire boy meets girl efforts. Next we saw District9 which I have to say is probably one of the best Alien based movies I have ever seen and for the same reasons as the previous movie, because it was different. Based in South Africa, the first part focuses upon the logistical nightmare of relocating over a million aliens from urban to rural life with a documentary approach. The second half takes on a more typical form with the lead character slowly transforming into an alien and transform the movie into a race against time. It was gripping from beginning to end and highly entertaining.
On Sunday we headed to Carnegies for lunch and then met up with George’s dad in the evening for dinner. On the way home we stopped off at Coldstone’s for dessert. George had the new Bailey’s flavored concoction whilst I opted for the more traditional chocolate one.
