dotintheskyIt's good to have a jam-packed weekend: makes the return to work all the more bearable.
On Saturday, after much deliberation, we decided to see Primer at the ICA. Before the film started, they screened La Jetée, which has now entered my ranking of top ten films of all time. It's such an unbelievably beautiful film... everyone reading this must try to see it (preferably somewhere dark and quiet, where you can give it your full attention and won't be distracted.) Primer was interesting as well, in a geeky scientist kind of way; as a reviewer said, bring a pad to take notes when you see this movie. Afterwards, Henrique went out with a brasilian friend of his; Kevin and I stayed home and watched episodes of Twin Peaks in the darkness of our room.
Yesterday, we spent the afternoon in Hyde Park, picnicking. There was a large group of us, maybe 20 people at one point, most of them guys who used to work with Kevin at Gosh Comics. Clare and Silke came as well, tons of junk food was ingested, tons of wine was drunk, the sun seemed warm (but we wouldn't know because we sat underneath a large tree the whole time), the lake was filled with paddleboats and row boats, the walks were crammed with joggers, rollerbladers and prams. At night, Clare and Mark came over to watch Kevin's short film. Then, while Mark and Kevin drank wine in the kitchen, Henrique and I played some Gamecube.
Went to sleep late, exhausted, but didn't have a good rest: I woke up around 5 in the morning and couldn't go back to sleep. When I finally managed to return to dream land, the alarm went off. Because of sluggish mood, arrived late to work with a medium-sized Starbucks latte. Let this day come to an end soon.
