limitless salad king
So that Bradley Cooper…does he have really beautiful blue eyes or what?
Last night was the advance screening of Limitless, starring Bradley Cooper, Abbie Cornish and Robert De Niro. I guess you could also refer to it as “that Bradley Cooper movie.” I’ve been looking forward to this film ever since I watched the trailer, so imagine how thrilled I was to find out Alliance was giving out passes online! Of course, the boyfriend and I got passes. I asked @ayl to come along and decided to eat out downtown after. My night was set.
What did I think of Limitless? It’s fun, exhilarating and unpredictable. There were some sequences that were truly limitless; it was unbelievable how seamless they managed to make the continuous scenes. I enjoyed it; although it got quite bizarre three quarters into the film. My thoughts went from “Wow, this is awesome.” to “What on earth is going on?” to “Okay, wtf, seriously?!” It was great fun to monitor the audience reaction too. Everybody was on the edge of their seat with sweaty palms. Maybe everyone was overenthusiastic because it was an advance screening, but the entire crowd was very vocal, ooh-ahhing and gasping at every other scene. I guess that’s a good thing?
A movie review will follow this post. Stay tuned!
After Limitless, I had my first Salad King experience. I ordered the bf and @JennTaylor973 favourite—green curry chicken with three chillies. The bf and I also shared a Tom Yum Goon (hot and sour shrimp soup) with three chillies. Everything was delicious! The sweet coconut flavour had me wanting to drink the curry as soup. Now I understand the lineups and the anticipation of its return after the building collapsed.
After eating out two nights in a row, I’m more eager to find a place downtown and move out than I had ever been. Can’t wait to experience the true life in the city!
A Winning, Eventful Week
This week has been very kind to me. After two weeks and weekends of non-stop craziness (due to work and other obligations), I am—surprisingly—finding peace and happiness during the work week.
I usually don’t enjoy packing my weeknights with events in fear of exhausting myself and being tired at work, but, up until tonight, I had quite the week planned:
Monday: Pizza night with the boyfriend (try-to-relax night)
Tuesday: Catch-up dinner with former boss
Wednesday: Limitless advanced movie screening with bf + @ayl + Bradley Cooper and possible dinner at Salad King
(When I think Bradley Cooper, all that comes to mind is what a cute couple he and Eric Dane make!)
Thursday: Win x 2: watch the Leafs win (so optimistic) + win the auction to my must-have bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs - Classic Q Hillier Hobo
Friday: Down-time with boyfriend; the usual (fantastic) Friday night
Yes, this is considered an eventful week to me…
Well, little did I know that I’d be in for a treat tonight. For one, dinner with my former boss saw us dining at Terroni. One of tonight’s pasta specials is gnocchi di gamberi—homemade gnocchi with zucchini, tiger shrimps, basil and cherry tomatoes—which of course resolved my usual indecisiveness. The pasta was soooooooo damn good. Chatter with the ex-boss was extremely fun and insightful. Learning more how the industry works and gossiping about different company structures is my kind of nerd talk. It was a relatively quick dinner, but we had a blast. As I had hoped, my plan to treat her to dinner worked. I’ve been wanting to express my gratitude as she had essentially put me where I am today after hiring me two years ago. Another check mark on that to-do list!
Of course, I come home to unwind, watch some Gossip Girl and do nothing else besides Tweet. And then this happens:
How absolutely splendid is that? Off to LG Fashion Week I go, two weeks from today!
Follow @TorontoStyles if you would like to win too. Thanks again, Janet & friend!
