Movies watched Saturday night were Torn Curtain by Hitchcock with Paul Newman and Julie Andrews (whose teeth I wanted to knock out during the first about 20 minutes of the movie). The whole thing is pretty preposterous plotwise --American physicist apparently defects to behind the Iron Curtain because the US govt stops funding his anti-nuke research. But he's really trying to get the pertinent info from a Polish scientist. Paul Newman gorgeous as per usual.
27 Dresses with Katherine Heigl--woman is the superbridesmaid who takes care of all her girlfriends' needs pre and during the wedding while having a crush on her boss ( who she can't tell). Baby sister comes to town in a whirl and sweeps boss off his feet. Ugh ugh ugh....some funny bits but I think overall the aftertaste is really pretty awful.
Finished the first season of Angel.
Post Christmas brunch at the Womacks. Took a video of young Lily zapping flies with her frog hat's tongue...fresh bagels, eggnog with rum, smoked salmon, chopped liver and presents exchanged. I'd already gotten a gift certificate/to donate to my favorite charity --Kiva--from Carrie, and also got a beautiful silk scarf made by Sylvie, a friend of Valeria's (birthday). A lovely sparkly single earring from Katya, strange Japanese purse that opens two ways from V&J.(xmas)--there will likely be a couple more birthday gifts coming my way this week.
Recuperated from the overindulgence of Xmas and raring to go this week...dinner with our of town friends at my favorite Japanese restaurant tomorrow night.
And my dad walked with his walker yesterday (only a little but I think it's the first time he's used it since the surgery) and asked to pee--which means that hopefully, the aides will help him use the toilet (TMI, I know-but this is an important step to getting my dad home).
