had a rare chance to hang out with the guys-formerly-of-beloit-but-now-of-some-avenue-in-WLA-i-can’t-ever-remember-which-is-why-i-don’t-visit. i dragged jer along with me to see jackie chan’s new flick, Shanghai Knights. i’m so glad jackie chan did this movie! it is enough to wash away that terrible debacle of a picture “The Tuxedo.” Shanghai Knights was a joy to watch! jackie and owen wilson have terrific chemistry, and the movie moves along with such a light-hearted energy because of them. it was the most fun i’ve had at a movie in quite a long time! my favorite scene was definitely the one where jackie does his balletic-slapstick kung-fu with umbrellas as props, turning a standard ka-pow style action fighting into a charming new rendition of gene kelly’s ‘singing in the rain” routine. =) it was marvelous.<\/p>\n
the only disappointing thing about the evening was not really getting to talk to the guys while we were there. i mean, honestly, no one ever really gets to TALK talk at a movie (one reason why movies are sometimes less-than-ideal date places), but i still wish i could have had a couple of conversations with them. i guess they were going to hang out after and watch leprechaun 3 after, but jer and i were pretty tired (i’ll explain why later), and plus we didn’t want to have to drive all the way back to rb half asleep. and so we parted ways…<\/p>\n
the other notable note of saturday was that i got my wedding gown. yep, we really did it. julie and i had gone shopping the week before at david’s bridal<\/a> for gowns, and one of the consultants there found the most perfect thing for me. it’s an strapless ivory organza gown with beading at the bodice and beading along the train. i also got the requisite accessories to go with it — shoes, a veil with a little bit of ivory piping along the edges, as well as (gasp!) a tiara. (i know, what am i doing with a tiara??) i’m thinking of getting gloves to go with, but i haven’t decided yet. :)<\/p>\n it’s a little hard to believe all of this is happening, but .. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" had a rare chance to hang out with the guys-formerly-of-beloit-but-now-of-some-avenue-in-WLA-i-can’t-ever-remember-which-is-why-i-don’t-visit. i dragged jer along with me to see jackie chan’s new flick, Shanghai Knights. i’m so glad jackie chan did this movie! it is enough to wash away that terrible debacle of a picture “The Tuxedo.” Shanghai Knights was a joy to watch! jackie and … <\/p>\n
