visitations from a shadowy planet

what an extraordinarily enjoyable weekend I had... the original plan had been to visit cape breton and the relatives that were going to be there for a few days... after just getting the car back, paying the repair bills, having work scheduled all day friday and monday... I couldn't justify a trip there and back in two days... it worked out for the best anyhow... I ended up with a date for friday night that turned out to be fabulous... I met a wonderful guy and we shared dinner at il Mercato, a place that has now amazed me with unbelievably great food twice in a row... then we went to see a really funny play called Gay White Trash down at The Crib. I laughed my ass off... was really well done... the characters were from Pictou, and reminded me very much of lots of folks I grew up with from the island... memorable to say the least... the night finished off with a trip to Perks and nearly two hours of chatting with said wonderful guy... I admit, I was all aflutter by the time I got home amid plans for a second date the next evening, which included a movie and an evening cuddling... he's pretty dreamy... I had a nice brunch earlier in the day with a friend, and did a little tidying up, so saturday was almost perfect in its enjoyment factor... sunday was veg and relax day, finished off with a trip to Harry Potter in IMAX... well, I decided I really did like the movie after all... the way it was laid out made much more sense after seeing it the second time... and well, IMAX makes it 100 times better just by itself... all in all, a blissful weekend of fun, adventure and romance wrapped into one... if only all weekends were this good...
