The B'z are such good car music. I think I'm on a kick for a bit.
I went today to find boxes to put baseball cards in. I tried to go to the card shop in Fremont but they were having an auction or something with lots of scary people. Instead, I got sushi from Blue C, and stopped by the Game Wizard on 65th for boxes.
There was a big antique car show going on, on my street, this morning/afternoon. I walked through it for a bit to go to the post office. I don't care about cars but it's neat to see thousands of people in my neighborhood.
I went to one round of the Wrasse blockade because Carl couldn't be there. Nyah.
I tried to go to![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
animegothgrrl's beach party, but I drove to the park and the guy said I couldn't park in their lots because they were all full, and then I drove around the other lots and the area looking for a parking space, and eventually found one but thought "do I really feel like walking almost a mile there and back, given I'm not even sure how long I'll stay?" and so no, I wussed out. If Julie actually reads this, I apologize for wussing out.
Instead, I went down to Tacoma and hung out withdamienroc for the evening (and occasionally wooko when I went and annoyed him too). Originally we were going to Chris's house for a bbq, and then a movie, except Chris got stuck in Seattle, so instead Jeff and I wasted time for an hour (he played PP, I read a book) and then we went down to PLU and got mexican food for dinner at a place called Rayna's (well, Reyna's, but since I know a Rayna, that's funnier), and then we saw the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
I know the movie got somewhat bad reviews, but I really liked it. You could either call it a mindless action flick with pretty people, or you could call it a romantic comedy with lots of guns, and either way you'd be right. I enjoyed how clever it was, though. Pitt or Jolie would utter a line totally deadpan and about 5-10 seconds later I'd get it and start laughing. Yeah, the lines themselves were dumb sometimes, but the setups were nice. I thought it was really well done and just really enjoyed it.
I still need to see Bewitched, though. And having seen the preview for it again, knowing that it's directed by Nora Ephron and the main character is a blonde, the mind wonders: why is Nicole Kidman starring in it instead of Meg Ryan?
On that note, I'm going to sleep.
As an aside, yes, there is a very big difference between wasting an hour reading a book here alone and wasting an hour reading a book when someone else is wasting time nearby. Call it "presence" or whatever.

Things like their arsenals - the overly fancy, computerized oven for her and the perfectly organized tool shed for him - are great plays on the kind of things we actually see in ads. That you later discover that she has an expensive, fancy oven and doesn't ever cook is perfect. There are a ton of small moments like this in the film.
