Tonight I went into Philly to meet up with friends M and R. R is moving back to Canada this week, this was our final outing. She’s finished school and is taking a post-doc in Calgary. I’m going to miss her so much! I hope to visit her up there in the future, preferably during the warm months!

Tonight we had dinner and then went to see the movie Kinky Boots. R had been the one who found out about the movie and wanted to see it months before it was released. The movie is the true story of a guy who inherits his family’s shoe factory in England. The problem is nobody really wants to buy the shoes anymore and the factory is in danger of going under. He has to find a niche, a market to exploit so he chooses boots for women who are men. Yup, he makes boots for drag queens! It had all the cliche things you’d expect, breakdown of stereotypes, the tough guy character who goes from disgust to accepting, the bitchy girlfriend who accepts nothing and no one, the girl in the background who privately loves the guy. Still it was a really cute and fun movie, two thumbs up. If it’s playing in your area I suggest you check it out. Otherwise it will probably be on DVD real soon.

Anyways I’m now off to clean the bathroom, having just cleaned the kitchen. Tomorrow a quick vacuum and swiffering of the house before my guest for the night arrives. Wednesday it’s off to NYC to see Martha!
