a seagull (duh!).friday night we had dinner with mike, zai, emily and her friend vanda at the foundry on melrose. they had a $45 3-course prix fixe menu as part of dineLA week and it was quite wonderful. we'd been once before for drinks, but it is definitely a place worth going for the food.
afterwards, we hit up a midnight showing of coraline at the arclight (i mention the theatre because unlike most theatres that have the plastic 3d glasses that darken the image, arclight has the legit high tech ones). the movie is AWESOME. the story is great, the stop-motion animation blew my mind, and for the first time i really felt like the stereo really aided the storytelling. to clarify, i praised the stero in bolt, but it was a movie that would have been just as good without it whereas i feel coraline really benefited from it. also, i simply love that it's a horror movie for children. if you like nightmare before christmas, you will love this. and if you didn't like nightmare before christmas, this is completely different and really freaking amazing. but enough of my geeky rant, here's a trailer! go watch it!!
saturday was asher's second birthday so we trucked it up to santa clarita for the party. it was a lot of fun and i really can't complain about being around so many cute little kiddies for several hours. asher is at the point where he's very talkative but doesn't quite have the english language down yet so you get a lot of excited gibberish and it's quite funny. and baby owen is just so darn cute.
