This was a pretty good weekend... I went out after work Friday with some friends. We hung out, had some drinks and Kerry booked some tickets to see Twilight: New Moon on Sat.
The movie turned out to be pretty much what I expected. I thought it was funny as hell hearing at the women in the audience swooning whenever the Jake character took his shirt off or did something athletic. Aside from that the only gripe I had was the fact that soundtrack/score was too loud compared to the dialog and effects. I'm also not the biggest fan of drama, which there was certainly plenty of (SHOCKER!).
Anyway, the bar we went to was Ashley's choice and happens to be near the bar I used to work at, so I saw quite a few familiar faces. Especially after bar hoping from the first bar to the second.
I saw one of my old customers who teaches dance at a nearby private university. After saying hello and catching up a bit, he mentions that his students, including a cute Russian girl that he's told me about many times believing that she's my type, are having their fall showcase and Saturday was the last day. After describing one routine in particular, a somewhat risque performance where said Russian cutey begins a solo number draped in a long, crimson sheet and eventually goes topless while still only hinting at seeing too much flesh, I was sold! He said he'd leave some tickets under my name if I wanted to stop by.
So after the movie and some food, three of us went to the performance. And while it was far from the typical Saturday night and I've never really been into dance, I was certainly impressed by the grace, discipline, athleticism of the dancers. Not to mention the bodies on some of them!
Sunday was a much needed chilling/cleaning around the house day.
