a fantastic night: déjà vu at the davis in lincoln square then a leisurely (by u.s. standards) 2 hour dinner at bistro campagne.
déjà vu was pretty good, although during the ‘how the time wormhole works’ exposition i could palpably detect the movie losing at least 80% of the audience, and as matt pointed out – the other 20% were thinking, “wait. this isn’t…this isn’t right.” i could almost see the question marks appearing over people’s heads. i really liked it though. highly enjoyable if you enjoy a good predestination paradox story. and if you know me, you know i love a good predestination paradox. 🙂
at bistro campagne i had a caramelized onion strudel that made me completely reassess the Nature of The Onion. i am forever ruined for caramelized onions, because no one else is going to make them taste so sweet and creamy and simultaneously light and savory. if you go to bistro campagne (just south of the old town school of folk music in lincoln square) you have to have the strudel à l’oignon caramélisé.
Sounds delicious! I also had dinner and a movie last night, except dinner was margaritas with chips and salsa, and the movie was code 46 with tim robbins on aaron’s new projector. It started off pretty interesting, but then I kind of lost the plot about 1.75 margaritas in. I liked the idea of an “empathy virus” though. It would be great if more police and politicians and army dudes caught one of those.
The chips and salsa were good, but there wasn’t any danger of my grand unifying theory of chips and salsa being upset by them or anything. =)
