pink dinners and irish dinners

i've known kathleen forever. i lived with her for a while when i was younger, and then she came to live with me for a bit when i was older. she came over the other night for st patricks day because she's the most irish person we know. we made irish food and watched waking ned divine, which is hilarious. it's about a guy who wins the lottery and then dies, well not really about him i guess, because he never really makes it into the movie alive. it's about everyone else, and it's very funny. you should watch it sometime.

the dinner/movie thing reminded us of the last time.... the last time we cooked, or at least the last memorable time. and the last time we watched a movie together. dinner was entirely pink. we never intended to color coordinate our meal, but for some reason everything we ate was pink, which if you think about it is a fairly unusualy color for natural foods. prepared ones anyway. i remember it tasted good, but it just never looked very appetizing. i have also had yellow meals with the same effect. Color-themed meals are not pretty.

anyway, the movie was even funnier than the food, not that it was a comedy. we decided to watch the ghost and the darkness, which also happens to be a pretty good show. there's this scene where val kilmer is hunting a lion and he's about to get pounced on. lion is crouching, heavy drama music swells. it doesn't look good... and i looked over to kathleen at this moment, who is sitting in her chair, on the edge of her chair, looking very tense. and unbeknownst to her, at her feet the cat was sizing up the leap to her lap. cat on screen jumps, cat jumps onto kathleen, i say 'boo', kathleen jumps. really, really high. all in a matter of about a second. oh, it was so funny.
