Memorial Day Weekend

Tags: movie book drama

.Mine kicked off Thursday with a friendly bowling match at Dolton Bowl.  We arrived around 10 p.m and the place was EMPTY.  No more than 6 lanes were in use, and I was in complete shock, until I was told that it was a shooting up there the week before.  Now who wants to bet me that by next week the bowling alley will be packed again?.  Too bad I didn't take any pictures, but I did kick some butt...lol. But I still had fun. On Friday I was supposed to see Sex and the City 2, and hit the streets later that night.  Well... Friday came and left and I didn't get to do either.


So Saturday I made the matinée screening of Sex and the City 2.  It received very bad reviews, but I loved the TV show, like the first movie, and I liked the second one as well. I guess people expected the movie to be full of drama, drama and more drama.  The movie had some really good moments, and the 2.5 hours zipped by, which means I enjoyed myself lol.

Within the first 15-20 minutes of the film Liza performed Beyonce's "Single Ladies". A lot of people didn't like it, but I thought it was cute (and Samantha's little dance rendition was cute too). Did anybody get the slight Beyonce diss after the song ended?.  Charlotte stated that she didn't like weddings because she didn't want to hear (or dance... I can't remember the quote exactly) that song.  Does anybody remember that Beyonce actually was casted in Jennifer Hudson's role in the first Sex and the City film?, but she got boot because she had to many demands (she wanted all her clothes to be Dereon, etc)?  #justwondering.  The pictures below are ridiculous pictures of me at my grandmothers house after I left the movies...Gotta luv gramz.. She has the best view EVER.  (best seen at night though)

Sunday I went to a BBQ on my old block... hung out with some old friends, enjoyed some food and conversation. Overall, it was a pretty decent weekend.

Sidenote: On Monday I decided to stay in the house (because of the heavy rain) and make it a movie day. I decided to watch "My Sister's Keeper" and I thought it was a really good movie. I remembered when the movie first came out that people were outraged at the ending (completely different from the book). So I read the original ending online and it was SOOO sad.  I think if I would of read the book, I would of cried, but I wouldn't be mad that the ending was changed. The book ending....now that's some good writing.
