Weekends in New York
Friday was a teaser: 50 degrees and sunny. Then it got progressively colder as the weekend dragged on. Contrary to popular opinion, I think that warm days in the middle of January are depressing. You're given one really nice day but the niceness only makes you think how crappy it's going to be the next day, when you're freezing again. It's like being given slice of pizza but only being allowed to eat one bite.
Friday night I saw that Leo/Kate reunion movie, Revolutionary Road. It was pretty good. Kate Winslet is a terrific actress, and Leo's pretty good too. I've always liked both of them, but I felt that the transition from book to movie was a bit awkward this time. I went with a friend who's read the book and she said quite a bit was missing. The night as a whole was fun though, as I spent time with some friends I haven't seen in a while.
Saturday night I was supposed to hang out with Ashley and some of her girlfriends but instead hung out with two of her male roomates. I hadn't met them before but we had a good "dude" time.
Yesterday I was ridiculously productive: cleaned the apartment; went grocery shopping; got some stuff with Ashley for her new apartment; helped make dinner; packed lunch for today...the list goes on. Anyway, a good weekend that happily wasn't ruined by teasingly warm weather.

The Oscars
The Oscar nominations were released today. Looks like Benjamin Button is the big winner thus far with 13 nominations. The other nominations for Best Pic are Frost/Nixon, Milk, The Reader, and Slumdog Millionaire.
I saw one pretty good movie (Gran Torino) and one really good movie (The Wrestler) over the weekend. Clint Eastwood (directed and starred in Torino) is simply The Man. A real-life BAMF. Half of his lines in his newest movie are, literally, growls, but he's the one guy that could pull that off. Mickey Rourke, who is the wrestler in The Wrestler, is amazing, and he was rewarded with a nomination for Best Actor. His was the best movie I've seen this year.
I've been wanting to see Slumdog for quite a while but the girlfriend has been less than enthusiastic about joining me. Now that the nominations are out I think I can convince her to go with me. I guess I'll have to see Ben Button, too, now that it's so nomination-heavy. And The Reader too. Ah, the cultural conscience of an uppity white kid.
