This weekend was particularly mellow for us...and I think I may know why.
We got an Apple TV for Christmas.
That little box made us stay home most of the weekend.
Glass -and wine- can make faces look distorted.
Netflix is rather new here in El Salvador and it was not until very -very- recently that their movies got interesting.
I don't know if you may know this but Netflix outside the US is different. We don't have access to the same choices.
The same applies with most streaming stuff. It's a pain.
Anyways...Netflix upgraded their entertainment options (adding more movies) and a very cool thing is that now, through Apple TV, we can rent movies on ITunes.
We could do it before but Heinz and I don't like to watch movies on our computers so we never did.
This weekend Heinz watched two documentaries and we watched To Rome with Love (yeah, I skipped the documentaries in case that wasn't clear)
I am not a big Woody Allen fan I just love Annie Hall and Midnight in Paris. Love Midnight in Paris. Love it. I guess I don't mind Vicky Cristina Barcelona but Scarlet Johansson's character gets on my nerves and I also sort of like Hollywood Ending.
Out of all Woody Allen's films these last european-city-movies have been particularly funny for me so I was looking forward to watching To Rome with Love.
The movie was entertaining but it lacked originality. I felt like I'd heard the stories before -not because I had- but because they were very predictable. There was a lack of sass and sarcasm which is something I love about Woody's writing. I was looking forward to a bolder script but at the end I got the feeling that Woody might have been in a rush when he wrote it.
Saturday we went thrift shopping and I finally found one (out of the two) night table I've been looking for since last year.
This baby is getting painted today.
We got it for 15$.
Sunday was church, movies...and NFL games....bo-ring.
While Heinz was watching the games I asked him if he wanted to go out for dinner...I got a silent stare as an answer.
It made me look forward to Super Bowl Sunday.
I hope your weekend was good, filled with fun stuff and no silent stares.
