The first rule of erin-go-blog is…

You don’t *talk* about erin-go-blog.

Ha.

Yep, I (finally) saw Fight Club this weekend. I hadn’t seen it previously for a couple of reasons. Most notably:

1. I had no idea what it was about. I thought it was just a dumb guy movie about a bunch of guys beating the hell out of each other.

2. Brad Pitt. He never impressed me much (TM Shania Twain).

On the other hand, though, I really do enjoy Edward Norton. So R convinced me that I would like the film, that it wasn’t what I thought it was, and that it was very well written.

And he was right. I thought it was brilliantly done, despite my having to shut my eyes a few times to block out the sight of the blood.

I also (finally) saw Annie Hall. Another I can check off my list! I’ve very much enjoyed what I’ve seen of Woody Allen’s films so far.

On Saturday, R and I headed out to Holiday Hollow, where I met his friend and musical partner A. It was great fun. I got to see R have his fortune told by Madame Stromboli, meet the wise old wizard Blandalf the Beige (he led the Fellowship of the Ring Toss game. hee!), and have my caricature drawn by El Marko, the vigilante caricature artist. He pointed out that I (at least the caricature version of me) sort of looked like Velma from Scooby Doo…and R said that he always preferred Velma to Daphne anyway. 😉

Finally caught Desperate Housewives last night, and Jen caught me up. I agree with all positive assessments of this show. Smart, funny, and quirky. Way to go, ABC.
