Weekend in Review

Friday Night:

I went to the movies to see "I Think I Love My Wife". This film is definitely not going to go on my favorite movie list. The ending was HORRENDOUS, but seeing Kerry Washington (shot out to KC) in her vickies might have been worth the price of admission. I say MIGHT because she plays a manipulative, attention-whoring jezebel (ouch). But seeing her in the bare essentials toward the end of the movie kind of made up for that. Fellas, if you have seen the movie, you feel me I'm sure. But if you haven't seen the movie, don't waste your time!

After the movie I ate at this spot called Potbelly's which was pretty daggon good. And the guy they had in there singing Aaron Neville songs was off the meat rack (no joke). Thanks K for putting me on (and paying for my sandwich).

Saturday:

Digital Camera

I ran a BUNCH of errands Saturday during the day. The most enjoyable of them was copping a new digital camera, the Olympus FE-230. After having lost TWO digital cameras in South Beach (not during the same trip though), I vowed for my next digital camera to be small enough to wear around my neck so that I could hang it around my neck (yes, like a BAMA) and not have to worry about where it is every 5 minutes. I'd rather deal with that thing swinging from my neck and bangin' me in the chest than losing another one.

With that said, the FE-230 is small, light, but still packs a nice punch with 7.1 megapixels, a 2.5" LCD display, a great zoom, and all types of other stuff I will never use but are great to have. And on top of that, you can buy a metal neckstrap accessory from Olympus to hang the camera around your neck. SWEET! I was so excited about getting a new camera that I copped a 1 GB memory card off Ebay as soon as I got back in the house. Expect to see more pictures on my blog now that I have a new camera and will soon have a memory card that can store a crapload of pictures. Not to mention more pictures on my FlickR homepage that you can check out too (if you have a FlickR account).

Common

This morning I got an email from my friend Lesley asking me about the Common concert. I told her, "It was nice!" She responded by saying:

"Nice, Nice that's all you can say, you went to see Common in concert and all you can say is Nice. I need more details."

The quick run-down:

Common put on a nice performance. It was pretty much the same performance I saw him do last summer here in Bmore at ArtScape, but it was still tight. He did a song off of his new album, "Finding Forever", called The People. It was a pretty good track. And of course, he took the time to pull a young lady out of the crowd and rap to her, grind with her, and pretty much make all the other ladies in the crowd salivate. Aside from that special part of the performance, he took it back to the roots of hip-hop and did a little breakdance routine as well. That was DOPE! And he also gave his DJ the spotlight for a few seconds and this kid (he looked young as hell and I can't remember his name) RIPPED IT! I was nodding my head, waving my hands, and doing the "same ole 2-step" for the entire performance so needless to say, I had a good time.

Sunday:

Sunday was my day to return to being a house-negro (LOL). I washed clothes, went out to a couple stores,returned some jeans to Old Navy (they don't make jeans long enough for me), bought some drapery rods and drapes from KMart, came home and put up my drapes (got to use a drill for the first time though, cool), and then watched the Sopranos and Entourage. Pretty relaxing day. I know, it's boring, boring, boring. But you would never have guessed that it was a long, rainy weekend here in SmaltiWhore, would you?

This weekend coming up, I have my boy's bday dinner on Friday (Bay you old DOG), which will be followed by the JHU Reunion Young NERD Alumni Ball. On Saturday I have my family's monthly Family Day which is sure to be hella-fun, and Sunday I might be getting up early to go hoop at Run-N-Shoot with my boys from back home.

Stop! Camera time!
