Movie Date

Know what I did today? I took myself on a date to see a movie.

Some people are completely weirded out by the thought of going to a movie by themselves. I don't really understand this. My hubby is not a huge fan of girly movies. I'm aware of this, so whenever I get a craving for a girly flick and my mommy-in-law is indisposed (she was at work), I treat myself to a solo date. This is not a problem for me. As a matter of fact, I did this a few times in my college undergrad years too. I even took myself to a sit-down dinner once. :)

I wonder if this is a function of how comfortable a person is with themself. Or maybe some people are just not comfortable with silence, so they feel the need to constantly surround themselves with others. Today I spent the entire day by myself. I read and painted my finger nails. It was just Lucien and I while Justin slept and then went to work. It was kinda glorious.

Anyway, I saw Easy A. It was cute. I like Emma Stone - she's sassy and cutting, and I dig it.
I also saw The Social Network a few nights ago. That one was really good. Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield play the leads as cofounders of Facebook. Some of it moves quickly, so be prepared to keep up with the conversation. I thought it was really well done.

Unit 2 Completed!!


Hello friends!!

It's been a while, but I've got good news. I've successfully completed Unit 2 of phase I of PA school! What a relief. Only 3 more units in phase I. It feels like forever, but it's really just 8 more months on campus in Carbondale. Thank the good lord!

Testing ended on Wednesday afternoon (3 long days of testing). We celebrated a birthday and the end of finals that night, and then partook of some retail therapy all day Thursday, before heading home for a week off. I am currently reading a book that has NOTHING to do with school and also watching all kinds of movies. Life is wonderful again. :) Here are some pics of Wednesday night's fun.

Fujiyama Japanese Steak House in Carbondale. Our grill guy rocked. He threw chicken at me and I caught it in my mouth (on the second try!)

Can you see the Mickey in my rice? I'm corny. I know. It must be really obvious, cause the cook definitely noticed!

Pretty PA ladies :)
Drunken roomies. This was at the Blue Martin - a really cute martini bar in Carbondale. Loved this place. Really tasty drinks.

After this we went next door to the gay bar named Traz (I think this is the name) and danced like crazy people until after 1am. It was pretty fantastic. There was even karaoke!
