20 dollar date...

... so last night. ry and i went out to eat, went to the movies, AND got cokes at the movie... all for 20 bucks. what a deal! i know... here's the rundown...

my dear lagrange pal, who also lives here in durham: julia :recommended a place to me a few months back... a place called "eastern lights" she described it as the best chinese food in durham. last night we finally went and despite the sketchy outside view- the inside was quaint, very nice, and it was quite delicious. best part was ryan and i split a plate of general tso's chicken... for a grand total of 12 bucks!

after our dinner i went over to kroger and picked us up some delicious chocolate chip cookie dough icecream... on sale... only 2.50!

finally we topped off our night with a trip to duke's private showing of batman: the dark knight
it was in the movie theater inside the student center. yes. for all of you lagrangians you read right. a movie theater inside the student center. for students it was only a dollar AND for staff only 2 bucks! (and yes I am considered duke staff!) so the movie grand total: 3 bucks! of course we decided to get a couple of sprites which were a dollar a piece!

grand total of our fabulous night: 19.50!
plus it was SUPER fun, and i mean we got to see batman AGAIN on the big screen. what an AWESOME movie. really. its on my top 5 favorite movies of all time for so many reasons...
perhaps one day ill go into all the reasons i love batman... but not now.

anyway today i am enjoying my sunday...
im sipping on my sweet tea from wendys and about to dive back into my current read: Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
def a fabulous book that i am LOVING... and FLYING through!
its based in NYC (which is awesome, for many reasons... and it makes me want to go there!) and is written from the point of view of a 9 year old... who's dad died in sept 11. its basically his journey (as a 9 yr old) to recovery. very interesting...perhaps ill dedicate a whole blog to the book when i am finished...

anyway. thats my sunday... drinking sweet tea, bundled up in my LC tennis hoodie, reading a great book.

hope your sunday is just as wonderful...

peace and love
