Friday saw "Contagion" - really good flick. Soderbergh delivered once again. It wasn't over the top at all - very much what would seem a realistic look at what would happen to countries should a deadly outbreak happen. Most facets were covered - government, scientific, law enforcement, conspiracy theorist, family. Gwyneth Paltrow was barely in it, but Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard, Matt Damon, Lawrence Fishburn all gave good face time. Jude Law was annoying, and didn't really add anything to the film in my opinion. There is a very touching scene in which Matt Damon is looking at pics of Gwyneth and crying - see if you can catch the hidden message. Soderbergh genius. I highly recommend this movie.
Saturday went to Art Outside at Schlafly Bottleworks, and scooped up a couple prints and some jewelry. Caught up with an artist friend, Mark Sheppard, and ran into a couple old friends from my university days. Afterwards took my prints to Hobby Lobby to get framed, and picked up some ceramic pumpkins for my mom's fireplace mantle. Later on met up with friends for some drinks.
Sunday went to the Rams game with my family - the first few minutes were spectacular, after that it was an exercise in futility. Lots of injuries, loudness, but homemade cookies from the saved the day.
All in all, it was a very good weekend.
Next weekend? I really need some tree time, outside time. We'll see what the week brings.
