It's been a while...
I've somehow managed to be quite busy this past week. Here's a recap.
Harry Potter. I saw the new movie and was entertained. It's pretty intense and action-filled, given that they had to turn a 700-something page book into a 2.5 hr movie. I didn't read the book so I had no idea that this one was going to be so dark as well as tragic. I won't say more because some of you might not have seen it yet but suffice to say, it's worth seeing, if you at all enjoy Harry Potter. (And I just have to say that I'm not the biggest fan and I think the books are... well, good children's books and so I kind of roll my eyes when adults are so fanatic over them but whatever)
Indie Cafe. This is allllllllllllll the way in Edgewater but totally worth the trip which isn't bad once you get past the downtown traffic. Plus there's parking so it will make up for what you pay in gas. The menu is half Thai and half Japanese, with really cheap sushi!! Actually, the prices in general were the best part of this place. And the food was good too but maybe not as high quality as some of the other Chicago restaurants. I had the spicy tuna roll, chicago crazy roll, and crab rangoon. The portions are also a little bit smaller than you'd expect at say, Sushi Wabi. Oh and they had lettuce in my sushi?? I don't think that's very authentic? But it's still raw fish and I love raw fish.
Last night, my sister arrived in town and so we went out for tapas at Cafe Ba-ba-reeba. I would give you links if I could but for some reason metromix's search engine is temporarily down. Anyway, we had a whole bunch of tapas and desserts and black raspberry sangria and had a lovely evening enjoying the food and laughing at the large table next to us with two girls with the most ridiculous voices I have ever heard. VERY VERY high pitched, nasal-y, whiny, and basically like a 2 year old's voice coming out of adult women. Amusing, indeed.
And this morning, we awoke to a white pre-Thanksgiving! The snow actually stuck. We had our first snowfall last week but it's always amazing when you look outside and everything is white. Beautiful. Until you think about leaving the nice warm apartment. :)
Life is sweet.
