Every week, my husband and I have one or two date nights, often on Friday and/or Saturday. We've heard it helps keep your relationship a priority by maintaining romance and shared interests. And we've actually noticed a difference when we've become "lazy" with date nights, i.e., skipping them, or doing something more "normal", like sitting on the couch and watching a movie instead of actually getting out and doing something together as a couple. Seems like date night keeps us interesting to each other, and freshly connected. I have to highly recommend any of you out there who are married to start up a weekly tradition. :) Think about it... it can't do anything but help your relationship!
After enjoying a dinner at some sort of Asian restaurant (Thai, Indian, Chinese... all very vegan-friendly!), our favorite date night activity spot lately has been book stores, where we grab soy lattes, chat and browse books for a couple of hours. Our latest find is V Cuisine, a deliciously intriguing vegan/vegetarian cookbook. We've been collecting quite the array lately, but this one has been the most unique we've found so far. We sat in Barnes and Noble drooling over the most ingenious recipes we've encountered lately. Angeline Lineardis's tongue-in-cheek explanations and creative concoctions will have you salivating.
Speaking of Angeline... I have long been a fan of Angelina Jolie. Now, I am well aware she is often shrouded by controversy, particularly by those loyal fans of Jennifer Anniston. My "fanship" of Angelina has nothing to do with her relationship with Mr. Pitt. I've simply always thought she was the most beautiful woman on the planet, and have appreciated her individuality and non-conformist style and attitude. I've also done a great deal of study into her international service, and am profoundly humbled. So between the natural beauty, the incredibly unique aura and the charity work, I'm a huge fan.
I wanted to recommend a movie Angelina was in recently, Changeling. For those who may have less-than-gleaming opinions of her, I think seeing her work in this film will, at the very least, give people a new perspective on this tattooed, sexy action figure. Directed by Clint Eastwood, Changeling is the true story of an incredibly bizarre case of mistaken identity, police crime, child abuse, serial murder and psych wards.
Believe me, you will be left with your jaw hanging open the entire two and a half hours of this movie. If it weren't a true story, I would have complained during the movie that the story was too unrealistic to be believable. Anyone interested in women's rights, psychiatric patient rights, child abuse or police injustice will find this movie unforgettable. I'm simply baffled. I will warn you the storyline is incredibly disturbing, however poetically handled. It's by far one of the best movies I've seen in my life, and one of the most terrifying, heartbreaking, inspiring true stories I've ever learned.
