Eugene Oscar Weekend

02/03/08
To keep me from moping after Joe left, Wendi took me to Eugene for an Oscar movie weekend. We stayed at the condo of her friend, Coos Bay Jennifer. Fabulous condo!!! Renovated from an old school. Oh so chic modern furnishings : ) Friday night was "Michael Clayton" starring Wendi's other husband, George Clooney. Great movie. Complete departure for him. Wonderful supporting actors. Saturday day was "No Country For Old Men" which I had already seen (intense and again, really excellent acting...creepiest bad guy EVER) so while they saw that, I went to see "There Will Be Blood" starring Dawn's other husband, Daniel Day-Lewis. What a pretty man. Although not in this movie. Really fine acting. Definitely deserved his Oscar win! And you wonder why we love him so. Saturday night was "Juno" and I had the sense that the entire theatre really dug it. Thankfully we ended our movie marathon with a hopeful and uplifting movie unlike the other three. Did I mention how dark they were? Anyway, great weekend! All of the movies were fantastic! Great meal at Marche' and fun shopping at Provisions. The perfect weekend to keep me distracted. Very little moping!
