had dinner w/ rob & kyrie before they left for corvallis (and possibly vegas after that). they live in a pretty cool 1 bedroom apartment above the hollywood library. kyrie is deeply immersed in montessori training & so she and sven talked about youth liberation and education quite a bit.
saw michaelmas on tuesday before he left for mount vernon to see his dad. after a stop at good dog/bad dog, we went to the fox to see house of flying daggers, and i am sad to say i actually laughed out loud when the "secret" is revealed (because you know there's always a huge secret and someone's always a double agent and there's always a love triangle in these epic hong kong movies).
saw carl on wednesday, possibly the last time before he leaves to his dream editor job in new york. he's been learning how to drive which is a requirement for that job, so he drove trixie in circles between a series of three parking lots near the hinson memorial baptist church for about 30 minutes. then we had cranberry upsidedown cake courtesy of his roommate anna, which was delicious and may become one of my favorite cakes, though i have noticed cranberries in general have been ascending in my repertoire as a delicious addition to almost anything.
i watched seeger's cats last year over xmas, and so this year i am queen of catsitting: i'm watching arwen, lucky, ariel, noodle & lestat until sven & i go to the coast.
i think i missed doug's birthday and his key lime birthday pie. sorry, doug.
