Today is my day to pack for the trip, Jamie is with Sofie all day. It should take less than two hours, right? It is one week, casual, and I am trying not to overpack. I have had a list for nearly a month now. But I can feel items sneaking on to the list....the cool Frameline T-shirt Alan just sent to me. The "extra" pair of slides that look nice with black pants. I am going to lay all the stuff out on the bed, and really try hard NOT to overpack. I need a 12-step group, but too late for this trip.
Last night, since Jamie had Sofie then too, I went out to Squids (my favorite after Friday work day place) with Betty Prioux and although their claim to fame (especially at happy hour on Fridays) is a peck of raw oysters, we sat at the regular tables and shared an amazing dinner of calamari followed by lobster. It has been at least ten years since I have eaten a lobster. Since that time, they have gone way up in price, but I still loved the taste. And half was plenty, it is filling. Then, since it was only a bit before 7 when we finished, we decided to see Evening, which had just opened. I heard the reviewers were so so, but the cast alone was worth seeing. I rarely let a reviewer, especially a male who reviews a "women's film", guide my choices.
The 7:30 show was totally sold out, the first time this has happened to me in this area. So we took a deep breath and got tickets to the 10 PM show, and sat at Starbucks for a long time, chatting and drinking coffee to help us stay awake. We left the theater at about 12:20 AM. The film was exquisite. That is about the best one word I can come up with. Not perfect, but lovely both visually and for the performances. I am always amazed at actors who are British or Australian who speak with American accents.
OK, no more procrastination, it is upstairs for me, to do the packing. Wish me luck.
