Saturday night was drunk.
Sunday, I finished reading High Fidelity, then hired the film with John Cusack. My thoughts: I enjoyed the book; it humoured me. The film: I am glad that they chose to have it narrated like they do in the book, but I thought John Cusack's acting was poor.
Jack Black was awesome in it, though I imagined Barry to be a bit less... relentless. I thought Laura was portrayed really well, but I was totally bummed that they cast Catherine Zeta Jones as Charlie. I imagined Charlie a bit less pretty and a bit more (sorry) arty. He describes her with a blonde pixie haircut so I had this Edie Sedgewick lady in mind. All in all, I think it was a good representation of the book.
Monday, I opened at work and then went off to my doctor's appointment to check up on my wrist. I got on the wrong tram and ended up 40 minutes late for my xray but managed to get it all done. The doctor said that usually, for a break like mine, they would offer an operation, but my break has healed 'surprisingly well' so they don't need to operate! Thanks, body! It just baffles me how my body knows how to repair itself without me even telling it to. I walked home from the hospital, which took three hours and it was lovely. Last night, we went to dinner with our lovely friend Lex at Soul Mama's in St Kilda. It was delicious and it was friggin' lovely to see Lexi.
Today was excellent. Catchmate and I slept in good and proper and then went and had two coffees at a cafe on High Street in Prahran called Piccolo. The service was really good and the coffee was enjoyable and they had a turn table in there. Also, very comfortable boothy-sort of couches and some gig posters we hadn't seen before, which led us to looking up when The Drones are playing, which is October 20 (?) as part of the Melbourne Festival and we are going to go. And then we fell in love with the fact that we live in Melbourne.
