Friday night, Rob and I went to see the movie, The Science of Sleep. I LOVED IT! For some reason, all the reviews I read gave it 2 stars, but I thought it was great. I think I just like anything that is surreal.
On Saturday we took the train to New York. We walked around Chinatown, Little Italy, Soho, and Greenwich Village. Uniqlo finally opened its flagship store, I think it’s in Soho, and I bought myself two long sleeved T-shirts that I am loving and wishing that I bought one in every color. I found two beautiful wool sweaters for Rob on the clearance rack. They were 9.99 each! He tried them on and they looked terrific. I really hope they open a store closer to me!
Checking out the Web site, I realize we didn’t go to the Flagship store– we went to the little one on Broome Street. I guess we’ll just have to go back next week!
Rosemont had its Oktoberfest yesterday and I dragged Rob to it. There were very few alums there. It was one of the smaller Oktoberfests I’ve ever seen at Rosemont. They held it in Cardinal Hall, the cafeteria, rather than out on the green. There weren’t many outside vendors other than a couple people selling jewelry. Regardless, it was a nice way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Rob got to see where I went to school. And I got to reminisce over days of yore.
Gotta finish getting ready. The train waits for nobody!

One reviewer said the film reminded him of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. That alone should make it worth seeing.
(Have you noticed the inverse relationship between movie quality
and box office revenues? As of today, Jackass 2 has hauled in
$51.5 million and Science of Sleep has earned $1.7 million…
can Donna explain why America is so stupid?)
I would like to see Science of Sleep.
Another interesting movie I’ve rented recently is “What the Bleep Do We Know Anyway?”. It’s part theoretical science, part documentary mixed in with a fictional story. Really thought-provoking.
Have a good week,

I see all the actors are foreign. Is the movie in English?
The movie is in English, French and Spanish– mostly English though
