After much anticipation I finally made it to the Landmark River Oaks theatre with Sarah to see the latest version of Jane Eyre. I thought the film met and exceeded expectations, proving to be both haunting and period appropriate. It's always nice to reconnect with my inner English major. Now, if only I could debrief with Rice professor Dennis Huston!
Because of the way my clinical schedule worked out on Thursday, I was able to sneak in lunch at Canopy with Amy, Aaron, Javier, and Andrew. So much fun! In addition to being a very bright spot in my week, the midday date also was great for the appetite. Admittedly, making the meal decision was quite difficult given the awesome menu. I ended up getting the brie & prosciutto melt with honey fig jam and arugula on toasted sourdough. Yum!
On Friday night I went to spin with Amy, which I haven't done in a couple months! Lately, I have been hopping around 24 Hour Fitnesses in Houston but missing out on my old routine. It was nice to reunite with my gym buddy and burn some calories. I immediately proceeded to put those calories back on with a hearty steak at Robert's place with fellow med student friends Ian and Sean.
Much to my supreme delight, Robert's sister Angie was visiting with her 4-week-old daughter Jacqueline. I got in some quality baby holding time and enjoyed catching up with Angie. The only other noteworthy event during the week was a my Saturday study break at Rice, when I popped over to KTRU's annual live outdoor show just outside the library:
Though I normally don't know any of the indie rock bands performing at this student radio event, I did know Michael Cera (!) of Arrested Development and Juno fame who performed with his band Mister Heavenly. Tragically, I didn't realize he was on campus until
after the fact and missed him completely! Such a shame. The photo above actually features the band Washed Out.

Sounds like you had a fun week, Becky! Too bad you missed Michael Cera - that would have been a hoot. Again, I'm so impressed by how you are able to take advantage of so many of the things Houston offers!!
I cannot believe you missed a Michael Cera sighting (and concert, no less). I think you've made a HUGE mistake...
