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.
