What a lovely day!
The weather was ridiculous, sunny and pretty warm, and the light was amazing. Fall light is superior to most other times of the year, the crispness makes colours a little sharper.
Today I met up with a few girlfriends for a quick coffee, chat, and matinee of The September Issue. It was so fun to see them, especially Sara in from Victoria, and the movie was pretty fun. I mean, it isn't heavy-hitting drama or anything, but I totally admired Grace Coddington and love watching process. I dislike Anna Wintour less than before (reading a couple of biographies about her painted a dreadful picture of her) and continue to love Andre Leon Talley. Seriously, that man is just so fabulous.
Yesterday was a decent birthday, as far as birthdays that aren't noteworthy go. I was back at work and my co-workers played an amusing Beatles animated video for my birthday. I got to see my friend graduate from cop training, which was pretty interesting. The formal suits for police are quite sharp and seeing all the police cadets and graduates, as well as a fair number of field officers, was pretty overwhelming. Lots of eye candy. Dangerous, untouchable eye candy. After work Terry picked me up and we went to Grub for dinner. I seriously love Grub; it's always tasty and I should get paid for how much/often I gush about it. We were seated beside my boss and her husband (I knew they had reservations, but it was funny to be beside nonetheless). We both had the 5-spice sirloin steak with horseradish cream, wilted spinach salad with vinaigrette, and homemade gnocchi with Roquefort cream sauce. SO DELICIOUS. I didn't even have dessert because I was so pleasantly full. Then we wandered over to The Main to meet Kathy and her friends for a drink. It was very pleasant, one of the more pleasant birthdays in recent memory, largely because I didn't have to plan anything to rival Hallowe'en. I'm so over competing with Hallowe'en for the attention of my friends.
This week will be action-packed. My sister won Canucks tickets for Tuesday night, so we're going to (hopefully) watch the Canucks destroy the Rangers. Wednesday I'm meeting my friend Simone for Coco Avant Chanel. Thursday there are a couple of shows I haven't bought tickets for, but could if I got my act together. Saturday is the battle between my alma maters' hockey teams: the T-Birds vs. the Golden Bears. I always cheer for the Golden Bears because my time at the U of A was so much more memorable than my time at UBC. And the Golden Bears usually win. A rare week of stuff to do.
Now I just need to continue to fight off the sickness.
