Exciting Friday. . .boring weekend

Friday after work, I scurried over to BART and rode to 19th Street in Oakland and made my way to Vo Restaurant to meet some friends for dinner. After dinner we went to the Paramount Theater for their monthly Classic Movie night. We saw Singing in the Rain. I have never seen the movie from beginning to end - only in bits and pieces. GREAT movie! I loved the gay overtones. Oh, and it's only $5.00!!! What a deal.

The Paramount a fabulous theater - if you like Art Deco, you will love this theater. Classic movie night starts by getting an old movie ticket (from a roll - just like the old days) for the raffle. We decided to sit in the upper balcony. When you walk into the auditorium, you are greeted with music from the "Mighty Wurlitzer" pipe organ. The lights dim as the organ descends down out of sight. The curtains open to a Merrie Melodies cartoon. After the cartoon they bring out a contraption called Deco-Win wheel to have the raffle. After 2 spins of the Deco-Win wheel the curtain opens again and the movie starts. The only drawback - old movie theater seats are not comfortable - so be prepared to be uncomfortable.

Now for the weekend. Pretty mundane. Watched lots of TV, did some laundry, gathered up all the Christmas presents that I have been buying for friends over the last several months. Went to Walmart, Lucky and Ace Hardware. Oh yeah, I went to Homodepot to get some stuff to insulate the windows where I have my air conditioners installed.

I've also been in a battle all weekend with the cats. I have a dry food feeder for them and it got down to the last little bit. They have refused to eat it and I have refused to throw it out. They can eat about 1/3 of the food in the feeder in 2-3 days. The feeder holds a 4 pound bag of food. The little bit (about 1.5 cups) they refuse to eat has been there since Friday. I have caught them nibbling on it, but they stop when I go into the kitchen. They must be getting hungry, but I'm looking at the bright side - there will be less to clean out of the kitty-box until they eat what's there - then I will give them more. Gawd, I hope they don't decide to devour me while I sleep.

Oh, I almost forgot, I made some Pecan Brittle earlier this evening.

This week there may not be many posts since I will be visiting a friend for Thanksgiving and Black Friday. So, if you don't hear from me, either I haven't been able to make an update or the damned cats are having a feast.

Wishing everyone (both of you) a Happy Thanksgiving!

G'nite!
