Moonrise Party
This weekend MJNL and I went out to dim sum with Growly, one of MJNL's co-workers, and her boyfriend. Laz and MJH were supposed to show up but were unable to make it for brunch. We ended up at a table for twelve since we told the waiter that there were seven of us, so I did feel a little self conscious eating at such a large table with so few people when there was a lineup at the door, but nobody yelled at us..
After brunch, we walked over to the theatre to watch Moonrise Kingdom. The movie was okay. It had it's moments, and had this nostalgic/innocent perspective of the events that transpired during the movie. Afterward, MJNL got a massage and acupuncture while I had a meal with Laz and MJH. Afterward, MJNL and I went out to eat dinner with MJNL's co-worker and the two of them chatted for hours (hours!) while I napped on the couch.
On Sunday, MJNL went to help with Jeanious with her wedding stuff, while I went to the broomball party. The street was lined with cars, and there was loud rock music being played. I thought that there was a large turnout this year, but was a little disappointed to see that there were just a dozen or so people at the house. Apparently there was another party taking place down the street with a live band and over 80 attendees. The band was actually from the neighborhood, and they played really well! Their repertoire spanned the decades and then genres and they played all the hits. It was very entertaining, especially since we got it for free!
I spent most of my time munching on food (while watching the Italy - England Eurocup game) or in the pool (since it was warmer in the water than it was outside. As always, there was more food than we could shake a stick at, and everyone seemed to have a good time, even though the turnout was low. Apparently I have been tasked with finding new recruits for the group..
