Great Day

Today was a wonderful day! I took the day off to spend it with my lovely husband. We went to breakfast at Starbucks, had the best pizza I've ever had (seriously) for lunch at West Crust Pizza -- with spinach, prosciutto, and dates, oh my --, and saw the best new movie I've seen in a long time: Pirate Radio.

It was so much fun. There were serious bits, of course, but I smiled/laughed/exulted along with the main characters during almost the entire movie. I can't tell you how much both Nate and I loved it; not only are the cast of characters spunky, likable, hilarious, and heartwarming, but the story centers on, and is set against a background of some of the best of 60's rock, the stuff Nate and I both grew up listening to. {Incidentally, it was an obscure Simon and Garfunkel song, to which I knew the lyrics, which first induced my husband to look at me, and it was the Beatles and Badly Drawn Boy which, a few days later, had him convinced that I was the coolest girl he'd ever met.} We both really love music, and generally not much of the same music everyone else goes nuts over. So this movie made both of us very happy. And it will make you happy too. Promise. Here are some fantastic stills. Just try not to smile.
