Since it was pretty bad driving weather on Friday, I walked down to a friend's apartment and hung out there. Tried corned beef and cabbage for the 1st time and actually enjoyed it---not that I'd ever willingly request it at a restaurant or anything.
Yesterday, John and I were mallrats----went to Palisades Park Mall and spent the day there. Bought a pair of Converse All-Stars so that I can "recapture" my youth----everyone seems to be wearing them now! When they were in style, I wanted them so badly but for some reason, never got them. Got a book too. These were impressive purchases. John and I love malls but we generally never buy stuff. We just like the concept of the mall. Palisades Park Mall is like its own little city...it seems almost feasible that one day apartments could be built on top of the mall.
We also saw a late showing of 300 in the Imax theatre! First of all, 30 minutes before the show, the line outside the theatre was crazy--long...mostly male too. We bought our tickets at 3pm and the 4:45 and 7:15 shows were already sold out. The movie was amazing! I wasnt really that much into seeing it, but it was awesome. The visuals were stunning and I kept wondering how they made everything look the way it did. Everything was, of course, horrifically gory and gruesome but fascinating at the same time. I did see a Mom and Dad with two young girls entering the movie theatre---idiots. This movie is totally inappropriate for kids....
Since John's into weightlifting, he was curious to see what I thought of how the Spartans looked....We had talks about body form after we saw Batman Begins also--Christian Bale worked out like crazy for the movie. But the Spartans....
they're not too shabby.

At least you had a "snow day". Things have to be really bad for my school district to call a snow day and half days and hour delays are non-existent. I was pissed off to have to drive home in that mess when I knew other teachers were home. But I recently bought a whole set (4) of Blizzak snow tires and eventually saw the day as an opportunity to get some use out of them before having to take them off.
I love malls too; my favorite - Short Hills Mall in Millburn, NJ. Love that place!!
Converse sneakers were $6.45 when I was a kid. I know, because, like you, I wanted a pair so badly. My mom, did, eventually get me a pair. Converse All-Stars and Pro-Keds were the much coveted footwear "back in the day". Old School Rules!!!!
BOY! How things have changed! Today's coveted items cost in the hundreds and (unemployed) kids have them!
What's wrong with that picture?!
