L and I watched 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' last night, as well as 'He's just not that into you'. It's been a while since I watched a movie, let alone 2 in a row...a deep one, followed by a frivolous one to boot. L thinks Benjamin Button is 'historically correct' at some points, full of thematic messages and symbolism. My favourite parts are when Brad Pitt turns into his gorgeous self (it's a movie where he starts off as an old man and gradually gets younger). So I'm reacting like the typical movie audience apparently!
M and I went to the local street festival this morning. We caught the parade, complete with marching bands and floats representing a good section of the community, it was quite enjoyable. The funniest parts were the poop scoopers that came right after the horses. We bought a raffle ticket from this young man that set up a cancer booth on behalf of his brother who is a survivor. The young man plans to cycle around Canada, fundraising for the cause. We also got some assorted ethnic pastries (Macedonian, Filipino). M ate a peameal bacon on a bun, one of his favourites then we sat in a coffee shop for awhile drinking cups of coffee.
