Mar. 23rd, 2007 10:29 amGood morning!
Last night's date was a particularly good one.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pierceheart and I are busy as hell lately (him especially), so the time we've been spending together has been fairly low-key. But last night, we went out to Gargoyles for dinner and saw 300.
Dinner was awesome. I had a starter of rare seared hamachi in a yuzu sauce with a flight of pipettes of sake, four different kinds.pierceheart had kobe tartar with caviar and a quail egg. Both were extraordinarily tasty. I found out that even if a certain someone is pretty distant lately, she'll still perk up and take notice when I'm eating raw beef. Heh. :) My entree was a nice lightly-breaded tilapia filet with a haricot vert chowder sauce, smoked shrimp, and some sort of salad. Sooooo good. pierceheart had salmon with frog's leg fritters. Yum. Dessert was drinkies (scotch for him, port for me).
The movie was quite enjoyable in many ways. I liked the aesthetic of it. They did the comic book style well, with frozen scenes that looked like the still images of a comic book, and with a play of light and shadow, a use of sillhouettes, that really screamed comic to me. Pretty cool. The story itself was extremely basic. The characters were mostly one-dimensional. The acting was, naturally, a bit hammy. David Wenham made me quite happy though. His voice reminds me a little of Alec Guinness's. Not as much as Ewan McGregor when he's doing his Obi-Wan Kenobi voice, but a little. I like hearing him talk, and would love to see him on the stage. Maybe as Henry V. Oh, and there was much muscular manflesh on display with very little clothing. I knew those Spartans had their good side! And their good legs. And their good asses. And their good pecs. And...mmm. Yeah. *drool*
Tonight I am having dinner and drinkies with some friends (and some knitting may get done as well), and tomorrow will be a day of sweater work, hem repair, grocery shopping, and possibly cleaning.
I remembered my iPod today, but today the queue of data entry requests is surprisingly low. Go figure.
