I did another sticker patrol around Green Lake early yesterday evening. Somebody had slapped an anti-communist sticker on top of another one based on a Pride flag. I'm not that big a commie, but no way do you mess with my people. I started removing it when another boomer dude walked up and asked me why I was doing that. I just told him, "You put an anti-communist sticker on top of a gay sticker, I remove the anti-communist sticker." He kept walking the way he'd been walking.
I ran into![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ocicat just seconds after that, and we got to chat around the lake, especially about rigel_p. I was able to verify that the stickers have not returned.
Oh: I am not the only person removing right-wing and anti-vax stickers from Green Lake. I'm certain of it, because I didn't get the south and southwest stretches of the trail last time. I'm also more thorough about rendering stickers illegible.
Last night La Fashionista & I hit Oliver's Twist. It was jumping! If I weren't a maniac about punctuality we might not have gotten a table. The cocktails are right on as ever, but the truffle popcorn has been replaced with southeast Asian eats. Not that the new eats are bad at all, but I miss that popcorn; I think I could still smell it near the restroom. Next weekend the two of us are resolved to introduce Tacoma Girl to the Wildrose. It's surprising and appalling that she's never been.
Phinney is returning to pre-pandemic behavior by stealth. It looked like all of the bars & restaurants on Phinney Ridge were busy last night despite vile weather. People were almost as masked up as they could be, but when you're eating and drinking...
On the bus to get my legs sugared today, I ended up sitting across from a woman about the Wendling's age with Goth-adjacent fashion – I remember the blue & green plaid bell bottoms and platform Docs especially – and truly impressive makeup with two-tone hair. As I got up to get off, she complimented my outfit*. I of course had to return the compliment. That kind of made my day, which has otherwise been filled with napping and laundry.
*Shallow fashion details: black patent 14-eyelet Docs, red velvet broomstick skirt over a black tiered velvet & satin skirt, short black trench coat, vintage black patent collar from Sin, black wishbone earrings. Zero makeup because I left the Devil Girl Pad in a mad rush.
