Reconnecting with Friends: Lauren & New Things

To continue getting back in touch with friends, I met up with Lauren too. I have seen her much more recently than the other two, but it's still been too long - maybe two years? So it was really great seeing her again and doing not one, but two new things!

First we met up at the Tivoli, where we saw Melancholia. I was a bit worried about this movie after looking at the reviews on Netflix. It was an either you love it or hate it movie. Luckily I did not regret spending my money - it was a good movie! It's an end of the world type movie, where a planet that has been hiding behind the Sun is now hurtling towards Earth. Maybe people saw the summary and thought it would be an action movie - if that was the case they were in for a boring surprise (in comparison). Since it was made by the director of Dancer In the Dark I pretty much knew what to expect, so wasn't disappointed. My rating would be 4 out of 5 stars. It was also nice being in the Tivoli again, I forget how pretty it is!

Then we walked down the street in the blistery winter wind to Cheesology to get some Mac & Cheese. I got the bacon bacon with added breadcrumbs. They also managed to talk me into buying a rice crispie treat. Delicious, I tell you!
