My mate and I just celebrated our 8th anniversary together. I got to spend a lot of time with him this weekend, talking and watching movies together. We exchanged some gifts and went out to dinner. We made some cupcakes to celebrate my cat's birthday, which we've done for the past few years. (I know it sounds crazy, celebrating a cat's birthday, but I just do it for fun and it's an excuse to make cupcakes. I don't take it seriously.)
I love spending time with my mate.
We went to see the movie Brave on Saturday. I was looking forward to it, as I'm a Pixar fan, but I have to say I was fairly disappointed by it. It's probably the worst Pixar movie I've seen, and absolutely did nothing to match their usual film quality. (Granted, I haven't watched Cars 2, so I have no idea how it rates against that one.) The story was bland and extremely predictable, the main character was rather unlikeable. Overall the movie promised a grand adventure, but failed to follow through on any portion of that, really. It was a watchable movie, but I was not impressed. It's a shame.
But... the weekend is now over, and I miss my mate. Back to my usual ho-hum routine.
