So my weekends are usually reserved for fun time with my besties, because I see my roommates every day. I usually throw a party on Friday night, because I am cool and have an apartment with a beer pong table, unlike all my dorm-y friends. Saturday is spent recapping the night before, and Sunday is spent recovering.
This weekend, however, the party was elsewhere. Which was fine with me, because I needed time to regroup from last weekend's 72-hour marathon birthday celebration. It was a great time, with some great people. Lots of inebriated fun had by all. Although I have to say, I have not been as drunk this year as I have wanted to be. I've definitely been drunk, don't get me wrong, but I feel like I need that one night of complete blotto, just to get it out of my system.
Saturday was Homecoming at the ol' alma mater. So I dressed in my garb and went to the game. Or went to the alumni tent for my free tshirt and then wandered around with my peeps.
But then, THEN I saw Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, which was great. Great great great. Here's why: Michael Cera, Kat Dennings, Ari Graynor, Vampire Weekend, other great music, NYC, the guy from Spring Awakening, gay guys being awesome and hilarious, and sexual activity in a recording studio, next to a Fender Strat. Classy. I give it a solid 9.3 out of 10. So you know it's good. Also, I find it amusing that Michael Cera plays possibly the most awkward human beings ever in his movies, yet in , Juno, Bleeker is described as being "good in....chair", and in Nick and Norah, Nick gives Norah her first-ever O-gasm. Lesson learned: awkward boys = great in bed. Or chair. Or couch, as the case may be.
But I thought this was a really great film for Michael Cera, a little bit of a step away from his other roles. Instead of being a wide-eyed, naive innocent, just experiencing what seemed like everything for the first time, Nick seems to pick up a few years later. He's been there, done that, and is feeling pretty bitter and jaded about the whole thing. It's not all comedy and one-liners for him. He's hung up on his ex, yet simultaneously pining for this new girl. Speaking of said new girl, let's hear it for Kat Dennings. I've loved her for years, and here she is in her first break-out role. Let's hope this opens more doors for her in the future, because I thought she was great as Norah. She was insecure, she was quirky, she was real. And funny too.
Wow, so much for talking about my weekend. Any mention of TV or movies turns into my own personal review. Oh well, deal with it.
So after the movie, me and Jenna and Amanda bonded over some Weggies food, and then had a sleepover in my freezing cold apartment. Good times, good times. I love those girls.
Also, in random news, albums I downloaded today:
-Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist Soundtrack
-Once Soundtrack
-OMFGG Songs From Gossip Girl Vol. 1
More on these later.
