I saw X-Men 2 with a few friends last night, and it lived up to expectations. It was probably as good as the first one, though there was nothing particularly new about the special effects. The moralistic nature of the story was actually both stronger than expected, and definately a lot less subtle than expected. You were basically hit over the head with it. And it served as an excellent appetizer to the main course on May 15.
It was great seeing Nathan, Ram, JT and Pete last night. I hadn’t seen them since Morimoto’s back in April or March. I can’t recall now whether it was before or after Vancouver. In any case, I bailed out of the evening early in order to catch some shut-eye before I took my car to get serviced. Which, upsettingly, didn’t happen because the Service Center didn’t have any appointments so they didn’t open. Excuse me? I called three or four weeks ago and I was told to bring it by any time between 8 and 11 today.
Oh, Thursday night I had the pleasure of catching up with a friend from my high school days that I hadn’t seen in five years or thereabouts. We decided to have a spot of tea at Cafe 52 and just hang out and talk. It was a fairly nice, definately tame conversation (neither of us are exactly the world’s greatest conversationalists. Well, I’m DEFINATELY not, and she might be, but just played it down for my sake. 🙂 ). Although I did embarass her a little bit I think.
Tonight I’m catching up with Austin, who’s coming down from Boston with Mark to see the Rutgers Glee Club concert tonight. Any minute now they should be calling, and I’ll be heading out…
God, I love this weather…
