Opening Night

Here are two pics from the Cinema Arts Festival opening night last week.

I really enjoyed the movies we watched. "Me and Orson Welles" is worth watching when it comes out next month. It's a comedy set in the '20s. Zac Efron is in there folks. If that's the only way to get you to watch it.

We then watched "Teknolust" with Tilda Swinton. She played 4 different characters. She is unbelievable and quite tall. She's almost 5'11" and when she wears heels she towers. She looks just as great in person as she does in her movies. "Teknolust" is very feminist, so be warned fellas.

Cinema

The husband surprised me with by buying us both badges for the Houston Cinema Arts Festival this week. Yay! Tonight we are going to the screening of Me and Orson Welles at the MFAH. Followed by the post screening reception.

Later this week we will be seeing the Tilda Swinton movie. They won't tell us the name, though, because it's suppose to show have it's big screening at Sundance? Something like that. Anyway, I'm happy we are busy with movie screenings and not drinking.

Hopefully, I get take pics.

Lastly, I leave you with a picture of me and the husband at his birthday party. I had been waiting patiently to wear my March by Marc Jacobs dress. I found it at Barneys Co-Op in San Marcos. The belt was added to make it more fitted. The dress looks better in person.

Special Dinner Date

The first picture I took quickly prior to us leaving. Excuse the small mirror and mess. We currently live in an old 1920 duplex that lacks in space. I can't wait to move into our own home.
The second picture is outside of Spotlight Karaoke with a couple of friends.
I took the husband out for his bday this past Tuesday at Textile. It was an awesome dinner and experience. If you live in Houston, look it up. After dinner we met up several friends at the karaoke place.
That's just the warm-up. We still have his party at The Tasting Room on Sat.

Peaches

Went to Peaches concert last night. It was unbelievable. Gaga got nothing on her. Even though I had not heard her newest album completely, I enjoyed all of her songs. M.E.N. opened for them. They are a band to keep an eye out for. I met the guitarist, who is Japanese. She was selling their band's merchandise. Cool chick.

Today is the husband's bday. I have approximately 45 mins to get ready. Not enough time :)

Movie date

The husband and I made it a movie night Sunday. After drinking so many days last week, we had to end it with a movie.

A great movie at that.

The young boy that plays the main character, Max, is unbelievable. He totally played the crazy/misunderstood/lonely boy well. The creatures in this movie are even better. I really do like James Gandolfini as Carol. I could not pinpoint the other actors/actresses playing the other characters. The ending was a tear jeker. Of course, I did not cry. I can't seem to, but it did touch my heart.



Next up....

Bicycle Ride

So here I am on my bike, minus the basket. This was taken the day it was returned to me. I took it out this past weekend. Sunday to be more precise. It was a dry, dark and chilly day. The first time we went, we took Cooper, our dog, out for a spin. Well, the husband did. He rode his bike while pulling Cooper.

Second go around we rode throughout the neighborhoods. I was so focused on riding my bike (it has been years since) that I didn't even know where we were at.

We stopped at Te House of Teas to quence my thirst. I always get thirsty when I'm moving. Whether it's shopping or riding my bike.

After that we went home because we needed to go to Rice Village. He suggested maybe next time we can ride there. Next time....

Sheecago

Our one year anniversary is coming up (so soon already?). Time flies, really flies. The first year in marriage is all about the two of us. Having fun as a married couple. Introducing him as my 'husband'. That took getting used to. I believe I have it down now. I don't get this weird feeling anymore when I say it.

It was like starting a new relationship.

To celebrate our anniversary he booked us a trip over the weekend. I had been wanting to go New Orleans and so I thought he booked us a trip there. Last night I found out he didn't. He wanted it to be a surprise. Of course, me being a girl, I tried to guess. He gave me a hint: It's somewhere north of us. Hmmmm, we are pretty much as south as you can get. That could be anywhere!!

After much deliberation, he decided to let me know. I had to know what clothes to bring right??

So our anniversary will be spent in Chicago. I'm looking foward to it. Especially the fall weather.
