After talking with my boss this morning, I realized I had a very 'Stuff White People Like' Weekend. I just enjoyed getting out - went to the movies, took Zoe to the dog park, watched some hockey, played tennis and soaked up some sun on the porch. If you haven't seen the site yet, make sure to check out my favorite posts; #73 Gentrification, #9 Making you feel bad about not going outside and #87 Outdoor peformance clothes.
Now the highlights:
Went to see Smart People with Rebekah. I'd give it a 3 - Rent it. All of the acting was pretty good, but I really thought Thomas Haden Church was the best addition to the movie. I've liked him since he was the dumb mechanic in Wings. Stop laughing, I really did watch that show, the guys were relatively cute. Anyway, seems as though I should devise a bit of a movie rating system as I tend to watch a lot. The scores are as follows (that's for the Portland Oh Hell crew):
- Must see in the movie theater
- Save it in your netflix que so you get it as soon as it's available
- Rent it
- Ah, might as well, you've got nothing better to do
- Nope - don't waste your time
However - the movie wasn't the highlight of Saturday night. Rebekah's kick ass cruiser was (as well as having some fried food at Ruby's and chatting with her). Her cruiser is the best one I've seen yet. Huge fan of the over sized basket and the bright color.
Another highlight - Natalie coming over to 'plan' on the porch. I got a pretty good little sunburn. Perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Another great highlight: I took 3 games from Doug in our tennis match. Usually I only take 1, if that. I'm still pretty proud. If this is any indication of how our summer is going to go, I'm all about it. Tennis, anyone?

Dude, I somehow didn't know about Stuff White People Like until I had to add Jason's blogroll to Vistrata.com. How did I not know about such a gem? I spent the weekend out at the beach, so I'm pretty sure that should take care of at least a couple SWPL rules!
Way to beat Doug! GIRL POWER! :)
