This weekend was full of nothing. I did nothing very noteworthy and that was something I needed. I had a very busy week and was traveling the weekend before so going shopping and for a couple drinks was all I needed. On Saturday I went on a search for some new clothes. Unfortunately, the streets were packed and it was quite warm so I had little patience for shopping. Still, I managed to buy some CDs this weekend. The standout of this weekend's purchases was the Pernice Brothers record. I have been listening to it quite a bit and I really think it something great. Imagine an alt-country version of Spoon. It is my favorite record of this month, aside from the 45s demos. Saturday night I went to get dinner in Chinatown, which was fine but could have been more. I ended up getting duck and it was a bit of a mistake since it was served differently than I had expected. The rest of the night consisted of me on the couch with my good friends Ben and Jerry. They are some great guys.

Sunday was only slightly more exciting. I went back to Soho to find clothes because I didn't go to French Connection on Saturday. I ended up finding a rockin' sweatshirt, which was a success in my mind. Now for the absolute best part of the weekend, my viewing of Shrek. I loved this movie. If you haven't seen it yet you must. I thought it was funny and broke down a lot of traditional animated movie stigmas. The hero was an ogre who was gross and not very heroic. Although the lack of heroism was nothing new, rarely do you have a hero who uses his ear wax to make a candle and makes balloon animals out of actual animals. The most poignant thing of it all was just how funny it was. I laughed hard quite a few times. So please, go see it.

Last night I went to see Daniel Kitson, the comedian, again with Kara, Julie and Jessica. He was just as brilliant. Quite a funny man. Then I finished the second Harry Potter. This is something I will speak to you about later tonight as I have grown quite fond of the series.

Yes, bye bye.
