Eventful Weekend

This weekend, my friend's brother came into town which triggered the most eventful weekend I have had in a while.

On Friday night we went out to an Indian restaurant in Belmont. Now, because there are about five million Indian restaurants in Belmont, I don't remember what the name was, but it was on Clark across from The Alley. While I'm not a huge fan of Indian food, I did enjoy my Beef Tandoor. While it was a little too spicy for me, I was able to eat about half of it.

Later that night we all gathered at a friend's apartment were we consumed beer and fuzzy navels and played Apples to Apples and Jenga. Never knock staying in on a Friday night. Nothing is better than a nice drunken game of Apples to Apples.

On Saturday, me and two friends went to see a matinee of RENT at the Oriental. BEST SHOW EVER!!! Not only were both Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal in it, but what we thought were going to be balcony seats were really good orchestra seats! AND, to top it all off there were sign interpreters for my friend Kate and they were really fun to watch. After I managed to calm down from my excitement about the seats and from seeing Adam and Anthony (yes, we are on first name terms now...) I realized that all of the other performers were REALLY GOOD and I genuinely enjoyed the show.

After the show, hung out at my friend Sarah's place where we last minute decided to jump in a cab and see I Love You Man with her brother and his friend. While it wasn't a terribly amazing movie over all, it definitely had it's moments and we all had a good laugh.

After the movie we met up with a friend working at Pick Me Up Cafe on Clark St. I had some cheese fries while my companions had BBQ Chicken Quasidillas and a falafel. (If you are vegan or vegetarian, or you just really like coffee, this is a great place to go as they have several vegan and vegetarian options, and A TON of coffee).

Ended the night with some more beer and fuzzy navels at Sarah's.

Sunday was spent hanging with my mom in the burbs. Watched Australia, which while not a great movie, and definitely not comparable to Titanic, was a nice lazy way to spend the afternoon.

Hope y'all are excited for Monday night TV! I know I am... ;)
