in which i scrutinize the fall collection


this evening, after what seemed like the longest week ever, i met anneh at the latin american club for a quick drink. it had to be quick because she had to pop back online for the independent spirit awards.

afterwards randall and i went to dinner at loló where we ate some delicious foods. i particularly liked the pistachio encrusted salmon, as well as the complimentary harissa sauce and bread. i also really liked the fact that we were seated immediately, even if it was because someone had canceled their reservation at the last minute.

on our way back to the car, we stopped by fabric8, a gallery/shop in the mission district. i splurged and bought a painting from husband and wife team scuba. this painting, called fall collection, is love love love. i mean, just look at this bear, and owl. they're so great, and so fashionable.

ps. one of the cutester things about loló was their check. when it came, instead of being in a small folder, they put it inside of books about dogs.

Escaping from shutter island

This evening April, Randall and I went to the kabuki to see shutter
island. I wasn't necessarily into seeing shutter island, but it was at
the kabuki screen 1 balcony and that's pretty much the only theater I
care to go to anymore. I knew very little about the movie going into
it, and for the most part I enjoyed it (maybe a tad too long).

I won't spoil the movie for you, but i'll just say, it felt old
school. Very traditional scorsese. The music, the dialogue, and some
of the scenes, all just felt like an older movie. Or an homage to an
older film era. And the end, well i think I'd seen it before. Oh and
also, apparently the trailer/commercial (which I haven't really seen)
is making it look like a thriller. Don't be fooled, it's not. It's
suspenseful, but it's not a horror (although some lady did awkwardly
scream in our screening). Yet I thought scared would be a more fun
emotion to portray than intrigued, so here ya go.
