Long Weekend....


Well work was pretty crazy on Friday. We have a deadline in a week to basically have this complicated microsite done & approved & given to a vendor and the clients are really pushing it. They are having like 800 people approve stuff and it is delaying approvals. Its a pain. But, anyway, the long weekend is here!

I left work around 4. Met up for happy hour with Sierra & Betsy. I actually biked to the bar which was fun & easy. It was on the route to get to work so it was easy to get to. It was nice to just hop on my bike and get home rather than take a bus or drive or cab.

Last night, I watched the movie Crazy Heart. I've been wanting to see this for so long & am so glad I finally did. It was such a good film. This movie is actually based on a book & is about a washed up singer named Bad Blake. Bad was once a huge star & is now playing small venues(like bowling alleys). He is an alocholic & broke - sleeping in cheap motels & with women in the cities he stops in. Then, he meets a young journalist name Jean. After meeting Jean, he starts to examine his life & turn things around. It's not easy to go from an old way of life to a new one....

Jeff Bridges is phenomenal in this movie -definitely deserved the Oscar. Maggie Gyllenhall was great, too. This movie reminded me a little bit of 'The Wrestler' but not as gruesome! Definitely recommend!
