Radiohead Weekend

I have been having one of the best weekends mainly due to the fact that it's the first in over a month when the boy an I are both home and able to just hang out and be together.  Here's a quick peek at what we've been up to~

The Boy and I have been dealing with a lot of very difficult issues lately and the Boy has been feeling especially melancholy.  It's extremely understandable considering the circumstances, but this weekend I wanted to try my best to cheer him up, even just for a short while.  So, we declared yesterday Radiohead Day, which entailed listening to every Radiohead album and song ever released including the b-sides.  It was really fun to listen to the way their sound evolved over the years and I know there are some who love the early stuff, and others adore the more recent releases, but I got to say that OK Computer is still my favorite...with In Rainbows as a close second.  We actually didn't make it past Hail to the Thief, there's just so much music!  So we'll have to continue our Radiohead Day again later.

 The boy also did some fabulous cooking for me (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and we shared many a cup of tea.  It was so nice to eat good food and just sit and chat for hours, we had a lot of things to talk about, sad and otherwise.  I think it was just nice to talk things out and be reminded that we have each other through this particularly difficult time.

Then today we visited the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market to stock up on some fresh and tasty veggies.  It was such a pretty sunny day, with all the surrounding mountains glistening with fresh snow!

We finished off the afternoon with some chips, salsa and Cadillac Margaritas at El Torrito.  It's really nice to have the boy back.  I think he's swell and, what can I say?  I love him!

If I have an incredulous look on my face it's because the Oscars were on in the background and I just found out the King's Speech won for Best Original Screenplay, and, well, I am maybe the only person in Hollywood who thought it was not that great...well me and the boy, but seriously people, it's not that great!  I wanted Another Year to win, but hey what can ya do, right?  I'm happy that Aaron Sorkin won for The Social Network, so I will focus on that!  ;)
