Yay movies!

So I've made up for my recent movie drought by watching 4 movies in the past week or so. Here's a brief rundown!

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist - very good movie. cute.

High School Musical 3: Senior Year - I suppose it was pretty good.

Max Payne - eh... I kinda dozed off in the beginning. nothing really special.

Rocknrolla - Very typical Guy Ritchie. Had its funny moments.

Eagle Eye - Pretty good. Action packed throughout the whole movie. The plot is kinda eh.

In other news...I had a pretty good weekend. My weekend started on Friday. I decided to take the day off to take my car in for a service which ended costing me $1100. That part was not so good. I'm pretty sure I got ripped off, but nothing much I can do about it. I don't know squat about cars but my car did need fixing. it was driving weird.

Saturday, spent the day with coworker friends shopping and gallavanting about town.

Sunday, watched a couple movies and bought my halloween costume. i'm going to be an army guy. scary i know.

fun weekend, probably could've gotten more sleep, but oh well.

Twilight Trailer

If you haven't read the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, I would highly recommend it. Although it's no Harry Potter, it's very well written and the story is pretty good. I'm very much looking forward to the movie, although the trailer makes it seem kinda low budget. The sequels need to get picked up by a major studio..

D.C.

Soo i just spent the weekend in our nation's capital. It was a fantastic trip and I got to explore the city. Thanks Farouk for showing me around all weekend!

Thursday: Flew in and had grabbed dinner at Pot Belly's.

Friday: Toured the White House in the morning. Really not as impressive as I thought it would be. Then went to the Museum of Natural History, brunch at Heidi's, the Archives, Ford's Theater, the house where Lincoln died, ate some pho, went to the zoo. Dinner at The Front Page where 200 ppl gathered at the bar to watch the presidential debate. Only in DC...

Saturday: All about the memorials. Washington Monument, Jefferson Memorial, FDR Memorial, WWII Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Vietnam War memorial, Arlington Cementary for Kennedy's gravesite, Pentagon 9/11 Memorial,then shopping. Dinner at Thaiphoon.

Sunday: Capitol Hill to see the Capitol and the Supreme Court building. Then more shopping. Went to the Portrait Gallery and saw the Georgia O'Keeffe and Ansel Adams exhibit. Chinatown...convinced Farouk to get an iphone only just a tad too late. I expect a text from your iphone next week! Lunch at Banana Cafe. Dinner at Matchbox.

And now I am at home resting up. We did so much walking this weekend. My feet are still hurting. Pictures will be posted on facebook!

Vacations!

I had a blast of a weekend up in SF. I love love love the bay area. The weather is awesome. On Saturday, we stopped by Berkeley and got top dog fix. Soooo delicious. Walked around campus a bit and then went back to the city and walked around more. At night we went to some ghetto hip hop club that was a tad scary. Fights were breaking out left and right and as we were leaving there was a gun shot. Crazy stuff! Once we got back to the apartment, we saw a loser drunk driver crash into a parked car. He was arrested so all is well. A very eventful evening. Sunday was just a chill day. Walked around the city some more and then went home. Got back at about 12:30 and now i'm exhausted at work.

On Thursday, I'm going to DC! Woohoo...I don't know what i was thinking when I booked an 8am flight...but oh well. I just looked up the weather and just my look, rain all 3 days i'm there. Fantastic. Why does your city hate me Farouk?
