Just Wrong!

As I lament over the void left in my life left by the absence of chocolate, I reflect upon a heavenly piece of chocolate heaven. I went to visit Gina, my very good friend and veterinary oncology resident, in Norwalk, Connecticut. we ate lunch at this place called Chocopologie! The service was lacking, but not the dessert! This weekend was a good one. Marcus and I went to the movies and watched Ben Affleck's directorial (and starring) effort, "The Town". I was very happy with this movie. It was solid storytelling and everyone gave good performances. Ben Affleck, I've decided, just needs the right role...he's been plagued by horrible performances and parts in the past, but this was pretty good! Maybe he's found his forte---directing? I really liked this movie. Yesterday Terry-a, Saifra, and I went to Locanda Verde in Tribeca to brunch. It was good---I had oatmeal. I'd like to check it out for dinner. Last week Marcus and I ate dinner at Tribeca Grill, just a block or two away from Locanda Verde. It was pretty good, but Marcus was more impressed by it than me. So onto the title of this blog entry...last night we watched that Latifah and Common romantic movie called "Just Wright" On Demand...and let's just say we knew what we were getting ourselves into. Well, it was my fault. Marcus told me it was my choice, so I picked this movie. I knew it was going to be bad, but I'm a sucker for a romantic plot. Well, it was what it was! But I admit if it was on TV, I would watch it again....!

Kunjip

Yesterday evening Marcus and I ate dinner at this great Korean restaurant with Terry-a's family. It was food overload, but in a good way. The plates kept on arriving at the table, and we kept eating! Hubba hubba! This past weekend was a good one. Friday Marcus, Caroline, and I ate lunch at the University Club, then I hung out with Jennifer and Caroline for a bit at my apartment. That night Marcus and I met up with Terry-a and Steve for a delicious dinner at Commerce Restaurant in the West Village. Then Saturday Marcus and I rented a Mini Cooper and drove up to the Woodbury Commons to check out the shopping situation. We got some stuff including a Le Creuset pan I might test out for some brownie baking. We then visited my family in Westchester. It was September 11, and we were able to see the commemorative blue beams shining from Ground Zero. It still bugs me out that September 11 really happened. On a happier note, recently, I've been getting some positive feedback from my clients, who've told me and my boss how happy they are with how I've treated their pets, which makes me really happy! And I'm not too upset my boss has heard it, too...

Rainbows and Unicorns

My boss showed us this really amusing video clip of a guy at Yosemite Park. Check it out---it's hallucinogenic. Today I went to the gym and worked out with my trainer. It was rough, but good. Then I did some housework and paid some bills. This evening I'm meeting up with Hillary for dinner. We may go to Vapiano. At least we're meeting up there to start. I have three more days of work this week, then it's Labor Day weekend! Don't know what our plans are of yet, but it's nice that Marcus and I will have a full weekend together. I heard that Mario Batali just opened up this Italian food megastore on Fifth Ave and 23rd St. Apparently it also has a bunch of restaurants in it...it's called Eataly. Oh, I also read how man-boob reduction surgery is on the rise due to the obesity epidemic in the US.
