VDay

So I suppose overall it was an OK Valentine's Day weekend. To be cryptic, didn't quite feel right and definitely had some mixed emotions and feelings. I imagine I will have to deal with those in the weeks to come once I figure out exactly how I should handle them. I tried and feel that I succeeded in planting the seeds of doubt, which is good. I just now need to act upon them which will be difficult. Quite the different reaction I was going for, but oh well, I did my part I feel. ...Sigh...
So other than doing much of nothing and "planting seeds" on Saturday, Michelle and I went out for dinner. It was pretty good, even though they ended up giving me the wrong meal. I was more impressed by the wine I ordered. I ended up ordering a 2007 Riesling. Although a little bland on the back end, I feel it went really well with my meal. I figured the Riesling was a safe bet since I tried others and knew roughly the taste. Also, at that price, I didn't want to get something I didn't like, like a strong red wine with a lot of tannins since I'm still new to this.
Afterwards, we saw a movie by Michelle's choosing (which I also had an interest in seeing). We saw Coraline. I thought it was a very pretty stop motion film and loved the world it was set in. The voice acting was done very well and kudos to Dakota Fanning on her role. I thought the beginning was pretty slow and not that interesting with it's long and convoluted set up. But towards the end, especially the ending sequence, were really big payoffs. They were a lot of fun since we were invested with the characters so much. I didn't get to see it in 3D, which I'm kind of glad about since I always have trouble with it and it didn't seem like I was missing much. I'm glad there were no shots shot for the sole purpose of 3D. The one major gripe I have with this movie, and I have to give props to Alex Albrecht on the Totally Rad Show for making me even realize this, is how the movie is marketed predominantly towards kids and by the end the fantasy element gets pretty intense and some of the thematic scenes could have been pretty scary for a young kid. For me, I loved it, which in of itself, is my point entirely.
Since Michelle failed to come up with any other plans for the weekend, I decided to just watch some Naruto and the usual Adult Swim Saturday block of shows. Although I was struggling to stay awake, I thought the episode of Code Geass was really good and a definite game changer. I'm really excited to see what happens next. Hopefully I can maintain the excitement since I have to wait a whole week for more.
