pphaneufTuesday, I had dinner at Soup and Noodles after work with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liberation_now and tygrbabe, and went to see Control, where we were joined by nevergirl and another one of their friends.
The movie was quite good. Sam Riley did a fantastic job of portraying a troubled Ian Curtis, who can be quite the jerkface at times, without falling into a caricature. This applies to the rest of the cast as well, with people being people, which is amazingly rare in movies these days. The music was of course excellent, including the surprising inclusion of Kraftwerk's Autobahn (not in its entirety, of course!). We all knew how the story ended, of course, and it unfurled slowly before our eyes, but it still was surprising, somehow, and had me biting my lips.
Yesterday, it was a more-or-less annual "stuff thesps" kind of evening, where we hit up swestrup and taxlady's place, ate good food, had plenty of wine, ate some more food, a fair amount of coffee, and played a pretty mean game of Munchkin, which I had to drop out of, due to excessive tiredness, unfortunately. I wasn't doing so good, anyway, although I did give some people enough trouble.
Tonight, party atjul3z! Whee!
