Yes folks, Amy and I are now officially an item. Three dates in one week, and we even shared popcorn!!! She may have to explain that to her husband Dana, who has been very accommodating in letting his lovely wife be out on the town with me for one chick flick after another. I think I owe him something nice, a good bottle of Scotch would be appreciated I am sure.
The whole dating thing started on Sunday with a chaperoned outing (the lovely Miss Ellen Esslinger Cooley and the equally charming Paula Meleis accompanied the fledgling couple) – t’was a holiday, t’was cold, so we headed for the cinemaaaah. First chick flick of the week was “27 Dresses” featuring Katherine Heigl in a reasonably funny and delightful role and a very yummy looking James Marsden as her counterpart. The movie is entertaining enough for a nice cold winter day, and we rewarded ourselves with a little visit to Boston’s prime desert only spot, Finale (www.finaledesserts.com ). Each Finale dessert is like a piece of art and the crème brulee on my plate certainly did qualify. Add a little retail therapy post sugar rush and we had ourselves a grand day.
Movie date Number two happened on Wednesday night – I had scored two passes for an advance screening of a new movie called “Unleashed” with Diane Lane. This one, definitely not a chick flick, was the story of a lunatic who starts messing with the FBI’s cyber crime division. On his website he tortures people and the more visitors log in, the quicker and the more violently the victim dies. Not for the faint of heart I must say, and suspenseful at times but it peters off a bit in the second half and for my taste, ends a bit too quickly.
Number 3 took us to Revere this time for a showing “ PS I Love You” – category tear jerker chick flick, again reasonably entertaining, not Hillary Swank’s best role, but Gerard Butler is a tasty bit to watch. The Revere movie theater is an experience in itself, there was actually a piano bar in there! A little bit odd to have the Steinway right next to the popcorn machine, but whoever said that Revere was not worldly enough?
I had plans to go skiing this weekend, but I have been out of commission since Friday with a UTI/ maybe kidney infection – so there is not much to tell. I have been watching movie after movie, including the entire second set of Foyle’s War (great series about a police detective in a small town in England during WW II). It snowed a bit over night, and now has started to come down a bit more heavy. Looks lovely out there and Oscar and I are having a comfy day with lots of cranberry juice. Some supernatural thriller with Michael Keaton is currently playing at the Loesch Cinemas on 5th Street, and maybe later we’ll bundle up nicely and take a little walk in the snow for some nice fresh winter air.
Talk to you soon, stay warm!! Enjoy the snow and if you feel like calling me today, please do! A little diversion other than moives might be nice.
