Millions Now Living...

Snow flurries, drizzling rain, and freezing temperatures are not normally optimal conditions for a fun weekend. However, with that said, the weather didn't manage to put too much of a damper on things.

After getting out of work late on Friday—cursed magazine deadlines—I set about trying to lead a productive weekend. Friday night was game night and our friends Mike and Sugar came over to the house. After some deliberation, conversation, and drinking, we opted to play Scattegories—a game that is rather difficult to play when drunk (at least for me, as my brain activity almost slows to a halt when intoxicated).

Saturday morning it was back to work. Michelle and I finished collating the pages for the second printing of Young & Reckless and assembled a small stack of books in preparation for Art All Night. After dropping off a copy of the book at the Heppenstall building, we also ran across a cool new shop named Divertido that was interested in stocking the book.

On Sunday, we got a late start, enjoyed some french toast, then ran back down to Art All Night to pick up the book and see if any offers had been made. I was stoked to find out that a bunch of people had made offers on the book. So I'll be contacting folks this week and hopefully mailing out a bunch of copies.

We rounded Sunday out by meeting up with our friend Tim to catch a showing of Danny Boyle's new film, Millions at the Oaks. A definite change in pace from Boyle's previous films like Trainspotting and 28 Days Later. But nonetheless, it was entertaining. The religious overtones were a bit much for me, and the ending was somewhat of a trainwreck (new age music always ruins a movie), but overall, I did like the film.

I have another post to make regarding a second film we saw, but it really deserves its own post.
