I had a wonderful weekend. It was my boyfriend's birthday on Friday, and we went to this great show at MASS MoCA (Bill Frisell). The trio played beneath this giant screen that played Buster Keaton slapstick and some other strange films.
Saturday my lil' sis came home from her RISD Pre-College Art Program Thingy. I hadn't seen her since June, which is the longest we've ever been apart. She made some beautiful jewelry there. We visited some friends who are summering over at Hampshire, and had fun at the party that was happening there. Although, I was the only one dancing, which was a little awkward at times.
Sunday I had my boy over for a late birthday dinner. I cooked a big Baja-California style meal (which is in Mexico, by the way) and Mish (my sis) and I baked him a cake. He and I then went to the movies- Pirates of the Caribbean II- I quite enjoyed it, but found myself siding with the kraken instead of the dashing William (and Jack).
I'm off to Europe on Wednesday with my mom's side of the family for a "roots" trip to Germany/Austria/Switzerland. My grandfather grew up in southern Germany and escaped to America when Hitler took over (my great-grandfather was Jewish). Anyway, I'm looking forward to the food, beer, chocolate, castles, buildings, and people. Plus it will be great to spend time with the fan-damily.
