Weekend Roundup
I know, I know… I need to start posting more than just “Weekend Roundups.” I’ll try and get on that.
So anyways, I’m still trying to kick this cold. It’s pretty much over for the most part, but I still have a sore throat, and a cough that rears its head from time to time. Hopefully warmer weather and more sleep help things along in that department.
This weekend was nice… relaxing, productive, and filled with violent movies. Just the way i like ‘em.
Friday started off with some mild cleaning, and the delivery of our new couch. We purchased this beast about a month ago from Rudolph’s Furniture in Grayslake. It’s a massive sectional… comfy as hell and really fits the decor. It also does a great job of separating our living room into it’s “own space” which is something I’ve wanted for years. Only a few more elements to go (ie: new table, ceiling fan & storage cabinet) and i think we can safely say the downstairs is done.
Friday night was spent enjoying a great meal at Saluto’s with Kelly and my folks. Goddamn does that place rule.
Saturday, Kelly and her mom headed off to DiCarlo’s Spring Wine and Food Festival, so I headed over to Gurnee Mills to see Street Kings (the first in my trilogy of violence). Solid “cop drama;” not the best I’ve seen, but enjoyable enough to recommend it.
Saturday evening, we hung out with Chris & Bridget… got some Mexican food and watched the best movie I’ve seen in a long time. Here’s just a taste of the kind of awesome shit this film had to offer…
Seriously… if you haven’t seen Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky yet… get on it!
Sunday was a productive day… gave the downstairs a thorough cleaning, grocery shopping & the first bbq of the season. Hot dogs and corn-on-the-cob haven’t tasted that good in a loooong time. Wrapped up the day with some Food Network & another bloody epic.
Here’s to hoping I can kick this cold for good and get moving on Dan’s site this week.
