caitriSo the weather today was quite nice so we rode down through Carmel and Big Sur. My cold attempted to rally and nursing a low grade fever and mild grumpiness we forwent hiking and instead went to the Hearst Castle, which I got a kick out of largely because of Xanadu in Citizen Kane. We had dinner at a great Iranian place in Monterey, and when the hostess asked us if we'd ever had Iranian food before and we were like yes, she asked if we were in the army. This greatly entertained me. Scott pointed out that there's a US Army language school in town so it makes sense, but I pointed out that we hardly look the part (him all scruffy, me with long hair and cargo pants and Emergency!coffee tee).
Anyhow I am nursing some tea and hoping the cold goes away. It's very annoying because I want to go out and have fun, except I also want to do nothing but curl up in a blanket with tea. *grump*
I have been behaving though, not checking work email or working. I wrote maybe half a paragraph of fic but that's mostly because Scott keeps interrupting me. Silly whicket!!
Aquarium tomorrow for realsies though.

Jim is all, I can be cool. Eleanor figures it out pretty quickly. Jocelyn, not so much. Jim and Jo get on adorably. Too much like Topeka?

Date: 2010-11-23 05:41 am (UTC)Also makes me smile because I just watched Citizen Kane again for my Cinema Final.
You know they built entire houses for set pieces like with roofs and enteriers? Also it was the first flick filmed almost entirely in deep focus?
Oh and WRH offered the studio massive amounts of money to not show the film, and offered other studios money so that they could buy it and destroy it.
It's also destroyed Wells career because no one would produce his movies after that the way he wanted them, they studio took control of editing on the rest of his three film contract.
Umm whoa sorry about this rant.... /filmschoolnerd.
ETA: Did you get to try any of those places in South City? (the city you where staying in by the airport lol)

We'll be back in the city at the end of the week so we'll see--Scott has this whole Plan he is following and I'm tagging along. The brunch place we went to yesterday at the Marketplace--Boudrettes and Lard? Something like that--was awesome tho, if you haven't tried it yet!

Date: 2010-11-23 05:55 am (UTC)I can't wait to see the photos of your drive down the coast. Normally on Saturdays and Mondays I am in Halfmoon Baby like two hrs away from Montery Bay, for band practice. But the weather has caused issues driving down the coast.
Next time you are out this way we should totally kick it. When you are not tagging along with the magical hubby :D
