annuinSaturday was a fairly quiet veg out day, though we ended up going out for dinner at the Chinese restaurant down the road which was good.
Sunday Kit and Cherie drove up from Jersey and we hung out together. It was really good to see them both and hang out together. Originally the plan was to go to a matinee of Cabaret in the city, but due to a musician strike on Broadway we decided against it, as Cabaret was the only (musical) show open in NYC... odds that tickets were sold out would have increased dramatically if that was the ONLY event that people could see in NYC that weekend, so we played it safe.
Instead we went bowling in the mid afternoon, had some food at a diner before going to see The Hours. I really enjoyed The Hours, even though it's far from a cheerful movie. I'd heard it was "really depressing"... which even given the subject matter and events portrayed I don't completely agree with. Nicole Kidman is absolutely incredible in it as Virginia Woolf, and also completely unrecognisable. I really hope she takes home the Oscar for this role.
After watching the movie we came back here and just hung out. I got fitted for my jacket, and so played the living clothes mannequin for a while.
We have tentative plans for next week, including the possibility of seeing a show with Eddie Izzard in it, which should definitely be good. Plans for next monday include another trip to go see De La Guarda before it closes... people flying around attached to cables... wheee! hopefully we don't get as wet as last time, especially not in this weather... we'd all end up with pneumonia :)
Next tuesday I believe is when Devon is due to hit the Big Apple, also should be loads of fun. Hopefully we can see Cabaret while she's here.
Picked up 2 new games at CompUSA on sunday too... Civilisation 3 and a mystery game called Syberia which looks very interesting (on the box anyway, haven't installed it yet).
