restaurant yang, movie yin

What's a place as good as Pomegranate Bistro doing in east Redmond? Serving as many people as it can, that's what, because there's maybe one other restaurant on the whole east side of similar quality. We were all surprised at how good the food was, especially for the $. I had the fettucine with morel sauce.

I didn't think V For Vendetta lived up to the hype. Visually cool, and the acting and direction were mostly all right, but a little disjointed & ham-fisted.

No one's gone crazy yet from the Nibsmother visit, and we take her to the plane this morning. Victory!

I hear the shootings on Capitol Hill have made the BBC. I didn't know any of the victims, but I know people who did. Please let this have been a random madman. Please don't let them blame the victims or their friends.

In much happier news, I got photographed by the charming robotangel in vinyl today, after much rescheduling, changing room-bumming (thanks, Chrilexia), and frenzied preparation including changing clothes not quite indoors. I suppose that technically makes me a fetish model. Funny, I don't feel like one. On my way back to the car with my stuff, a youngish Latin guy comes up to me and asks, "Weren't you dressed as a woman when you got out of the car?"
"Yes," trying not to sound too nervous as I got my fuzzy bag.
He proceded to tell me how I briefly fooled him & his girlfriend as I got out of the car. I thank him, and we both left. Yeah, maybe boo me for getting nervous, but yay me for keeping cool.

Oh: the Wendlings's dance went pretty well, maybe a little better than last year. He always seemed a split second behind his classmates, and reluctant to simply move his body. I hope the time comes, one way or another, when I don't watch my son and cringe inwardly at the frequent reminders of his Asperger's.
