Pirates and eggplant

[abka]

We had a fairly nice weekend. Friday night Denis worked (surprise, surprise), but Emma and I went and saw Pirates of the Carribean (on Andrew's recommendation). It was a fabulous pirate movie, I really enjoyed it. We even sat through the credits for the final monkey scene. Saturday we both worked and then I went to a WCMA opening for Nicole Cohen's "Ma Vie en Rose". The opening was nice, but I didn't stay too long. The show looks great! Sunday we were going to work, but decided we needed a day off so just hung out at home. We made eggplant parmagana together which was more of a production than I originally planned. I started out cooking myself, but had to recruit Denis and he ended up doing most of the actual cooking while I washed a mountain of dishes. It took a while, but the result was yummy. Then he even spent time with me while I worked on my Croatian (I'm a little behind). It helps tremendously to hear someone pronounce the words correctly. It was so nice to study together (ok I was studying, he was teaching/reading/repeating). Unfortuantely another weeked spent procrastinating about Fulbright/grad. school stuff (although Croatian should count). I'm going to at least start contacting more people this week.
