This weekend was the weekend of Hurricane Irene along the Eastern seaboard of the US. So thankfully my job closed early on Saturday, in time to catch the trains back to Manhattan before the whole system was shut down. The streets were pretty desolate as the heavy winds and rain kicked in. I was supposed to meet some friends at Fatty Crab, but we had to cancel and reschedule. Marcus, Gustaf, and I made it a movie and food weekend. We watched a couple of things, including "Win Win", about a low on funds lawyer who's also a high school wrestling coach. In order to continue supporting his family, he does something a little shady, which bites him in the #ss later on. Great movie!!! So glad I watched it. Today I chose a bad one--- "The Caller". Some indie movie that was supposed to be suspensful and scary. It was bad. You know when you're watching something and you just wonder..."well if the apartment is haunted, why the hell don't they just move out???" Ya, well that was the case...We also watched the mini series "Battlestar Gallactica" with Edward James Olmos...really good! We can't wait to get the rest of the DVD discs in the mail! In the quest to kill time under the spell of having cabin fever, I did make a batch of sangria, and tried to drink some. Well, I don't drink, don't like alcohol. So I had half a glass, and asked Marcus to drink the rest. Oh well, so much for my wild night of drinking during a storm. Tomorrow the train to NJ is up and running, and I have to say, I wish it wasn't, because I'm tired and I need a little break. Oh well.
