back from the dead

OK, I grudgingly admit that was the lowest-stress mother-in-law visit we've had in a long time. The highlights:

• Finally made it to the new central library. Dayumn. How many times have you gone to a library and thought, 'What a cool building'? They thought of everything, even rubberized paint on the handrails. The cushions in the kids' area look like giant blue pills. My mother-in-law found herself in the 1962 Tacoma phone book.


• Fireworks at Myrtle Edwards si; traffic no. I should have gone south, not north.


• I'm about to utter heresy here: Spider-Man 2 isn't worth $8.50, or even $5. Sure, the cast does a good job, but the script & direction never let me forget I'm watching a movie based on a comic book that was intended for kids. I felt like I'd seen it too many times before.

Things missed (poo):

• Arid Sea


• Pioneer Square art walk -- yes, again


• picnic with PiBs


• sirriamnis in a black leather corset

Yeah, I know those of you who get out less than I do aren't exactly bleeding from both ventricles, but hey, it's my journal and I'll bitch if I want to. We now return me to my regularly scheduled... whatever it is that I do.

What means this 'getting out'?

It's this neat thing whereby you 1) stick one foot out your front door, then 2) put your other foot in front of it. Repeat step 2 as necessary. I recommend it highly.

Seriously, if $ is a problem, picnic is free. So's the art walk.

Disappointed

Hey I am damn disappointed to have Missed Sirranimus in a black leather corset.
