Sunday

I'm not going to do a whole Weekend Update today because Friday and Saturday were fun but I'd rather focus on Sunday.  I will say that on Saturday we went to the Star Bar for Psychobilly Night hosted by my friend Rev. Andy and it was awesome.

I woke up Sunday and Jamie and I went to brunch at Cafe di Sol.  It was good.  I had a broccoli and cheddar omelet.  I guess I'm used to mild cheddar because the cheddar they used in my omelet was so strong I had a hard time eating it.  Luckily there wasn't a ton of cheese in it and the broccoli was really good.  Then I went with Jamie to get a hair cut.  He's such a copy cat because I got my hair cut last Thursday.  

After that we ended up tagging along with Josh and Krista to IKEA.  And I'm not allergic to IKEA anymore!  I didn't sneeze once.  Last time I was there I had such an allergy attack I could barely see, let alone breathe.  IKEA is great for a lot of things, but there store is so freakin' big and you can only go one way through the whole store you really feel trapped in there.  We found a love seat we like, and a wardrobe, and a table for our back deck.  So we'll be going back next week, when Jamie is on spring break, on a week day so we can get there when they open in the morning and beat the crowd.  That store gets so crowded it's disgusting.  I hate crowds.  We did a buy a rug for the front door (like a mat) for $3.  You can't beat their prices.  And the quality (at least on the stuff we have from IKEA) is pretty awesome.  Except for their "teflon" pots and pans.  Don't buy those.  Our "teflon" frying pan began to lose it's "teflon" and ruined a whole batch of scrambled eggs I made one day.  We were going to buy a "teflon" wok but Josh said not to because the same thing that happened to me with my frying pan happened to him with an IKEA wok.

After IKEA we went to eat (no swedish meatballs for us!) and then came home.

Last night Jamie and I headed to Terminus for a screening of the first six episodes of High Rise.  First off, let me say that if I didn't like what I saw and I wasn't impressed with it I wouldn't slam it, I would just not talk about it.  BUT, I freakin' LOVED it.  Jamie did too.  I didn't know what to expect because when you work on a project like this it's hard to know what the final product will look like.  We didn't shoot any scenes in chronological order, we did so many takes for each scene that it all ran together.  The whole thing looks so good.  The actors look awesome, the quality is amazing, it's just really professional.  Oh, and there was a Melissa spotting (besides my name in the credits, which is just too cool)!  I don't want to go into too much because I really want you to watch High Rise and let me know your opinion, but in the first bar scene (it's not the first episode, I think it's like episode 4 or 5) I'm in the background at a table.  Totally hilars.  You wouldn't notice me unless I pointed me out to you.  

Anyway, I'm so not plugging this because I was a part of this series, I'm plugging it because it is good and absolutely worth watching.  Please check out High Rise!!  New episodes debut on Tuesday's and Friday's beginning on March 31 (tomorrow) on Comcast Channel 1 On Demand and online at HighRiseTheSeries.com.  I promise, you won't be disappointed.
