My weekend with food

The only thing memorable about my weekend were the meals. On Friday, I went out on date at the Cheesecake Factory. Someone mentioned they went there last week and my stomach instantly got nostalgic and made plans to go on Friday. So after cutting out of work early for a quick hair appointment, I met up with my date in NJ and headed to Palisades Mall. Since I don't wish to blog about this guy, cause he is cool and a friend in addition to a date, I will focus on the food - the cheesecake to be specific. I had the cookie and creams cheesecake which was heaven on a plate. I don't know why they serve such excellent cheesecake after filling you up on the food and drinks. I learned that trick and only stick to appetizers and dessert. I make sure I get my meal to go.

On Saturday, since it was NY Cares day, I ended up going to a school in the neighborhood and painting and cleaning. Buttercup does a little charity every now and then despite the fact that I hate children. I followed up my good deed with a writing meeting for the event I am doing next month with some bloggers and non-bloggers alike. Details will be posted some time next week. I really need to work on my story. I felt like such a slacker handing in half ass work just to meet the deadline. I got some good feedback and will definitely work further on my reading this week. Saturday night was spent shopping with Sabrina who happens to live in the neighborhood. I tried to be good and only spent $200 on a skirt and sweater.

Today was great because I finally got to see Motorcycle Diaries. It was such a gorgeous movie. The story, the lead actor, the accent (a Mexican pulling off such a great Argentinean accent was amazing). I was already obsessed with Che because of his beauty inside and out but seeing this story of his cross country travels which gave him his passion for the Latin American struggle was enough to make me cry. Please support stories like this and check it out. Now, let's get back to stuffing my face. My friend and I refueled after some awful Halloween shopping after with a huge Italian meal at Serafina. Sangria, calamari, tuna tartar, lobster pasta, seafood risotto, it was enough to make me burst. So of course I used our full bellies as an excuse to walk around and do some "window shopping". What can I say, food and clothes are important.

P.S. I need to vent about my favorite movie theater. I used to love Battery Park Regal Cinemas because they were empty (no folks talking during the movie) and you could sneak in and see as many movies as you wanted. Well now some idiot decided that a DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) is a perfect thing to put into a movie theater, making it necessary to have little movie workers on every floor and making my sneak into I Heart Huckabees impossible. Thanks Battery Park Cinemas. I am taking my $10 elsewhere!
