february 9: rudyard kipling, from the jungle books - "quiquern"
also worth noting: leopoldo & i went out to esparza's, a nifty little tex mex restaurant. despite the explosion of 50s cowboy paraphrenalia, the food was unique and tasty, the service was surprisingly good, and it was reasonably priced. the moon was rising full & glowing when we got out & headed to my first intro to movie madness, portland's local movie rental place for those in the know (the kind that has categories for movies like "bizarre" and "50s sci fi"). we rented run lola run which i quite enjoyed (it falls under my favorite vague urban fantasy category, and the soundtrack does the thing i like where it has one major thematic song done several different ways).
