Dinner and a movie...

After my tutorial, I returned to the Department since I still had some work to do. Now the plan was to get it done and probably head home afterwards (no gym today; I guess rain is always a reason to get depressed). After all, our usual gathering to TH has been cancelled due to Thanksgiving....
However, things developed a bit differently (which turned out to be a good thing after all!)
As I was in the computer room with Moti, we started talking about plans for the evening. I told him I didn't have any plans (no TH today) and that I was not sure whether I would do something later on. Moti had to leave to get a new chair but told me to call him if I was planning to do something.
Now, it is Friday evening and doing nothing and go home (even if it is raining), is not appealing.
So I called him later at 5.40 and we arranged to have dinner (I made it clear I was starving) and maybe watch a movie afterwards. Moti suggested Serenity, a space-adventurous type of movie and as the sci-fi film freak I am, I could not have resisted the temptation.
In the midst of rain, we ended up at Reubens where I had a burger and he got a smoked meat sandwich (I believe he never had one before). Food was good and later on we went to watch the movie
Now, Serenity ended up to be pretty good. It is about a spaceship and its crew trying to get along in a futuristic human society. (But apart from technological advancement, there is no other difference.) The novie is based on a cancelled TV series (Firefly) created by the same guy behind Angel and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Joss Whedon. (And I have to say that the movie is definitely better than the aforementioned TV programs.)
So, once again, I really had a great Friday evening; I just feel sorry for poor Moti though, who had to buy a new umbrella because he forgot his and, I do not know if you have noticed it, today was a rainy day....
