chicago weekend.

twas an eventful weekend!

friday afternoon tricia and crashed on the...wait for it....beach!!! yes, i dare say i got a tan line. friday night ali and i headed to the brew and view to see the wrestler. the movie was amazing, except that the lighting was all off on the screen so anytime there was a scene at night it was basically just a big black blob. i feel like some important things happened in those night scenes that should not have been missed. i'll have to rent it...and i can on NETFLIX!!!! yup, still going strong. it's turned into a game now of high can my turnover rate of movies be so as to get the most for my money. recent watches:

1. milk
2. kung-fu panda
3. vicky cristina barcelona
4. borat
5. doubt
6. y tu mama tambien
7. the cliburn: playing on the edge
8. rachel getting married
9. brick
10. TWILIGHT!!!!! (oh the shame/absolute enjoyment...)

anyway, on saturday ali and i did a bike ride along the lake and then went out to matildas with friends, and sunday we met up with kristin and grant in hyde park for a rainy feet-soaked day of soul food (obama's favorite resturaunt!), the oriental museum, a cool bookstore, and record browsing at reckless records (of which i skipped out on to read my book and warm my toes at argo tea.)

my grandpa died a week ago on monday morning, the day after easter. we all went down on wednesday the the funeral was on thursday. it was so so so beautiful. grandpa will be missed.

I'm so glad the funeral was beautiful.

Any favourites in the 10? What did you think of Vicky Cristina Barcelona? I haven't seen it, but some friends were talking about it last night so I'm curious about your thoughts on it.
