What did you do last night? (Valentine's night)

[MaxDepth]

I got a message from my fiance asking if I was up for something a little different for Valentine's night.

WXDU invites you and a guest to a special advanced screening of George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead. The film is playing at Durham's Carolina Theatre with this special sneak preview on Thursday, February 14. Passes will be available at Bull City Records, Chapel Hill Comics and at a WXDU table outside the theater the evening of the movie. Immediately preceding the film, there will be a Zombie Costume Contest. Also that night, starting at 9:30, WXDU will host the "Eat Our Hearts Out Zombie Dance Party" at Bull McCabe's. All are welcome at the party regardless of movie attendance.

Well...that certainly is different. We went and I dressed up as a zombie. And not really meaning to...I won the zombie competition! I am now the proud owner of a George Romero signed "Diary of the Dead" movie poster.

Pics!


**** Movie Review, no spoilers ****
To review this movie, I want first to remind everyone about Romero's first zombie flick, Night of the Living Dead. George was documentary film making who decided to create not only a scary movie but one with a bit of social commentary, given that the 196o's had a lot of social upheaval.

Now everyone knows this, George takes himself to task. Kinda like Cloverfield, the movie asks, "what would the night of the living dead look like if it happened now, with the Internet, YouTube and everyone having the opportunity to record what is going on.

The movie follows a group of documentary studies students as they first were making their own horror film (like what Romero himself did) to then recording their travels as the dead are coming back to life.

I liked it. It was self referential, yet it knew that and still made some statements about how we live our lives today. And some really tense, scary moments. And yes, gore, gore, gore!

Got out of work at 3:30, fiance picked me up, we went back to his house and exchanged little gifts/cards, then we went BACK to where I work at 5 and ate dinner there. I got twin 5 ounce medallions of steak topped with crab cakes and a lobster sauce, he got seafood stuffed orange roughy. It was good.

A new bag of braided nylon rope 50ft x 1/4" with 124 lb working load limit was on our four-poster king size bed when I got home.

Justed texted and watched TV all night mostly. Two women I know kept texting me and trying to set up dates for this weekend. They both live 2 hours away. I told one I didn't want to drive that far. The other for some dang reason I agreed for a date with her. I totally don't want to drive that far either. Dang it I wish I said no.

gf is in Chicago... and I'm in Seattle. So, nothing. Hoping to get this situation rectified by June. On a brighter note, taking a long weekend next week to fly in and see her.

Made dinner for my wife and I, and our daughter decided she was hungry just as everything was ready. So much for 3 hours between feedings...
Watched some tv and feel asleep on the couch, got up at 11 to feed the little poo machine. Was up again at 2:30a....and 5:30a.....

I feel like a zombie.

 

[Fritzo]

I got my wife a huge flower arrangement, a sappy card, and chocolate. She made me a boxed cake and said I was going to have some "fun" tonight---be sure to be showered and ready by 10pm.

I was ready, she fell asleep while I was in the shower. :|


Cake was dry too.

Almost the same thing!
I came home and she had filet mignon, green beans, garlic mashed potatoes, and for desert cheesecake from a nice bistro. We also had a really nice bottle of wine.

I played some CS:S and watched TV, good times. Congrats on winning the Zombie contest, I'd let you eat my brains anytime.

I went to boxing class, my wife watched a chick flick with her friend. Then I ate some Chinese food, played some Halo 3, and went to bed.
