Holy Week plus one

Plus One
For lack of things to call it, Plus One is for the week that just went by. Had a good time this week.
Work has been real fun though very tiring, since I spent a good time on the shop floor.

Had choir practice on Monday evening.

Tuesday evening was the prayer meeting. At the end of it the youth of the Prayer Group were called together. We will be having the Easter Fellowship. I say we because I have comfortably settled into the Prayer Group.
Have been put in the Games Committee and will also be MCing the show
It is supposed to be held this Tuesday.

Wednesday was yet another trip to Bandra for a meeting regarding the above. Progress is good.

Thursday finally found me going home, much to the delight of my mom
We also got news today that since my SBU has reached it’s financial target and since we have been so religiously attending work on Saturdays, we get to take either the 1st or the 4th off . Since, I have a meeting on the 4th, I took 1st off.

What better thing to do on a holiday than to meet with my beloved Madam C.

On last moment decision we decided to watch Be Cool.

In this sequel to “Get Shorty”, Chili Palmer (John Travolta) is tired of the movie production business after being forced to make a useless sequel starring Martin Weir (Danny De Vito). When a music producer friend (James Woods) is gunned down, he offers to help his widow (Uma Thurman) run the business. Checking a talent (Christina Milian) that Woods had been talking to him about puts Chili at odds with a sleazy music manager (Vince Vaughn),his gay bodyguard (The Rock), and his equally sleazy partner (Harvey Keitel). Woods mismanagement of the music company also gets Chili threatened by members of the Russian mafia and a suburbian rap-mogul producer (Cedric The Entertainer) & his thugs led by his bumbling relative (Andre Benjamin). All turns out well when it is determined that Uma had at one time been the laundress for Aerosmith and making contact with Aerosmith leader Steven Tyler at a Lakers game, gets their protege a duet with Tyler at an Aerosmith concert. Robert Pastorelli also appears as a slobbish hitman, who bumbles an attack on Chili. Contains profanity (including the one gratuitous use of the f-word, which Chili cites in using it as the only use permissible without getting an R rating in movies), lots of gunplay and other violence, and mild sexual situations.

Have seen way too many promos of it and keeping in mind the star cast, I was expecting it to be a hit.
Was rather disappointed. Seemed rather patchy, though it did have its funny moments.

Went with Madam C to Lucky’s for lunch after the movie, before dropping her home. Another amazing day with her

Went to my Grandma’s place at Linking Road after this, as I had to go to Mt. Carmel’s in the evening for the meeting.
Bringing down the House was running on Star Movies and it turned out to be a very enjoyable movie.

A lawyer (Steve Martin), who is too wrapped up in his work for his family and thus is estranged from his wife, takes up with a woman on a computer chat line that he thinks is a blonde attorney. Instead she turns out to be an escaped con (Queen Latifah), who claims to be innocent. Through a chain of threats, she coerces the lawyer into helping prove her innocence. In doing so, she also helps him rediscover his own life. While racial overtones play a considerable part of the film’s humor, Martin and Latifah’s warmth and humor still win out and offer some laugh out loud comedy. Eugene Levy appears as Martin’s lawyer friend who becomes infatuated with Latifah. Joan Plowright is an uptight heiress with a bulldog named William Shakespeare, who is being pursued as a client by Martin’s law office.

Presented the games we were planning for the get-together and decided to meet up with Andrew Nathan and Gail on Saturday evening before Bible Class.

Spent a lot of time chatting with Bernadette and Sean after the meeting about various stuff before dropping Bernadette home.
