Alone again

So the Thanksgiving weekend was a lot of fun, and C is on his way back upstate. That's of course the bad part. But overall everything was great.

He arrived Wednesday night and we had delicious Mexican food. Thursday of course we had dinner with Maggie (I prepared a chicken instead of a turkey just for fewer leftovers), and watched White Christmas (my favorite holiday movie of all time). Friday we went with Mags to see Burlesque (it was an okay movie but not spectacular...), and at night after she left we went out to eat at an Italian restaurant in my neighborhood (courtesy of 1/10th of our wedding present from his sister, thanks Bran!), which was also fantastic. At night then we watched Scott Pilgrim vs the World, which was fun but about ten minutes too long.

Yesterday we got new cell phones, had wings for lunch, and saw Harry Potter (after dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant near Lincoln Center). That was sort of miserable because there was this horrible woman behind me that was a total b. She first complained because I didn't lean forward to let people get by her (since she apparantly couldn't get up because she's just that perfect). Then right when the movie began, I shifted and she started kicking my seat, and I heard her say to her friend, "He keeps pushing back!" I turned and said, "I was just adjusting myself, I'm sorry!" But she kept sighing anytime I moved and I fought every urge I had to just lean as far back as I could. I'm sorry, there is no way she didn't have enough room for her legs, the woman was 5 feet tall. I really hope the whole movie was ruined for her.

But the movie itself was good, although we really should have rewatched the previous one, since I hadn't seen that since it came out...
