Reading Days!

Reading days afforded me with a 4 day long weekend this past weekend and with that I used it to its full potential.

Thursday night I went to relieve some much pent up stress by having a "few" drinks at the Blind Monk and then finishing the night with some crazy ass dancing at Hi-Fi. Much props go out to Mike and Chris for taking me out that night *electronic high five*

Friday I stuffed myself full of Tylenol to get over the huge hangover and went to the Flames vs. Anaheim game and watched the Flames kick some tired Ducks ass. It was sweet. Even sweeter because it was the first Flames win that I have witnessed at the Dome. The other 2 games I have been to, they have lost (not including pre-season losses).

Saturday morning I cooked a big breakfast for Tuyet and my brother. I made Irish style eggs (I saw Martha Stewart make it on Conan O'Brien for St. Patty's day), bacon and hashbrowns..mmmm now I'm hungry. Afterwards I got to enjoy a movie with Tuyet. I have been wanting for so long to go to The Departed. The cast was stellar (Nicholson, Damon, DiCaprio, Wahlberg, M.Sheen and A.Baldwin) and the story line was fantastic and was basically a modern day Shakespeare tragedy. Makes me want to watch the original Japanese version now! If you haven't seen it, you definitely have to go now....NOW!!!

Then we ended off the night watching the Flames awesome comeback win against the Canucks. Go Flames Go!

Sunday involved me playing a few video games with the brother and watching a few bits and pieces of NFL Games. Then Tuyet and I went out to (I don't know the name) the all-you-can-eat Chinese place up in Deerfoot Mall. I forget what the occasion was, but Tuyet's family and relatives were there. The food was filling but not overly good...but hey it was free so there's no complaining coming from this full stomach :D After that we went to see ANOTHER movie! That's right I had to squeeze in as many movies as I could with this little break in the semester. This time we chose to go see The Prestige. It stars Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and Michael Caine. It is directed by Chris Nolan (Batman Begins and Memento). It is about two magicians who are in competition with each other, each one trying to one-up the other in tricks. The movie was awesome. The twists were great and the acting was well done. I totally recommend it if you haven't seen it yet.

Monday...what did we do Monday? I think we went shopping. Specifically we were looking for boots for Tuyet. First we went to Market and then went to Chinook. She couldn't find anything though...booo.

Tuesday I just spent at home chilling and illin. Later on in the night Tuyet and I watch the Flames slaughter the Blues :D

But yeah, the long weekend was very nice. Too bad we don't have more of them per month :D
