kay's getting married! this was a shocker when michaelmas told us when we went to see hero on monday. michael & i are going to the reception tomorrow & so i've got some calligraphy work to do.
at the writing group this week (carl came with us this time, too!) joanne said, "you guys are the best!" she goes to another writing group and seems to sincerely appreciate our particular energy & our writing. sven thinks she also appreciates our consistency. it was good to "hear" carl write and there are plans to get him back over to the house to restart the writing routine he & sven had last year.
pix is still great. sven & i went back for the "concoct yo' own dessert night," where you get to choose from a list of ingredient and create something cool. this time we both chose the "black box" competition, in which the ingredients were chosen for us. sven made the "pan-fried sugar oyster" (which has made him want to learn how to brulee), and i made the "port-land butterpuff trio." pix is also making gourmet ice cream now, so we stopped by last night to get cones: port fig & goat cheese for sven, lavendar & candied orange for me.
also last night i saw thx-1138 w/ sven & leopoldo, both of whom had seen it before (i had to ask leopoldo to stop speaking the lines of the movie as they happened). some obvious re-doctoring, slow in the middle, anticlimatic ending, but not bad. i'm a fan of dystopian & cyberpunk movies, even if they're not technically great films. but considering this was lucas' first movie, i'm really impressed. what the heck happened to him?
next thursday is skycaptain and the world of tomorrow! and leopoldo's invited us to the dahlia concert tonight, fitting since he introduced us to vase[s] for xmas.
since mph has moved servers there's some stuff to work out. tweaking we didn't expect.
apparently there was a tear for fears concert in pioneer square and i never even heard about it! argh!
i keep finding myself looking at burning man pictures, hoping to see why i went.
