Movies and Whatnot

We had two days, and then Mike was gone again. We spent our time together doing very little. On Friday night we saw Little Miss Sunshine, which was very good. Every good review you've read or heard is right. It's funny and silly without going too far into ridiculousness. It's serious and dramatic without being melodramatic. We loved it.

On Saturday we decided to take a long walk in San Francisco. We first went to a Belgian cafe and filled up on frits and mayo, then started walking along Haight. We didn't go all the way to the famous Haight/Ashbury intersection. We've seen it before and are still disappointed that there's a GAP on the corner. We came across a sign that said Buena Vista Park and walked up this gigantic staircase, that led to more stairs in the park, and eventually we found the buena vista. It was a nice, long walk.

We were exhausted when we got home on Saturday afternoon, and spent the rest of the day lounging around. We turned on the TV, suddenly remembering that we get HBO and some other movie channels. We ended up soaking up all the movie goodness with Animal House, Monster, and The Aristocrats. We hadn't seen Monster before; it was good, but depressing. Animal House and The Aristocrats were, of course, as hilarious as ever.

Mike left Sunday morning. I went to farmers' market. I did some housework. Then I sat around being bored for a while. Eventually I made a super-tasty dinner and went to bed early to read.
