Woo hoo! I'm going to Mexico City Friday morning for 4 days!! I'm so excited! I won't be very active on here till next week, so I thought I'd better update my journal before I go! Here are some pics from last weekend, as you can see it turned out to be a nice weekend here in sometimes sunny Seattle!

I don't know what it...

damn you. i thought for sure there'd be pictures by now...

thanks about the article. i really didn't expect anyone to read it since it's so long and about india-freakin-napolis. the funny thing is, i can read novels and i can read poems... i just don't have the patience to read articles. something about the odd length. i like nonfiction. i don't get it. but i don't like writing them either, so maybe that has something to do with it.

yes, avacado green. perhaps a tad bit bluer than true 70's avacado, but maybe it just aged that way. it's probably authentic, still works though. smile our kitchen walls are orange, the cabinets dark blue. it was this way when we moved in. each room a different color.

normally i'd be jealous of your naan (though i've never had spinach-stuffed), but i was just at my India Garden the other night and still have leftovers in the fridge. yum. unfortunately i won't be able to make it to my own catering tasting for our Feast, but hopefully my boy will bring back boxes of crazy indian food! mmmm....

They did play "A town called Malice"
and it made me all giddy!
i did go to my tenth reunion..
i had a nice time, but i didn't find it amazingly entertaining...
still debating on going to my 20th.
I just cant believe that much time has actually passed.
How are you doing by the way?

I haven't been on SG much lately so sorry if I'm lacking in the response department (I have a temporary roommate from Mexico, so will have to share my computer a bit)! I thought I should at the very least update my journal though! Last weekend I went kayaking on Lake Union with some friends, it was so fun! And a spectacularly beautiful day!!!
Here...

well thank you, ma'am.

i saw the "what famous person..." and immediately thought of Walt Whitman because he's the famous person living or dead with whom i'd love to have lunch, but then i read the rest of the question and i really don't think i'd want to see him naked. thanks, though. wink

and that certainly does look like a lovely weekend. as soon as i get a couple more minutes, i'm going to post my pretty weekend pictures. ah, spring. i bet you guys are several weeks behind us though since you're so far north... most of our flowering trees are all leafed out now.

and how do you have a roommate from mexico? did Bush okay that?
juliebogart:
Great pics
beautiful colours eeek

Has anyone checked out the coolness that is Pandora? It's a music site, free to join. You enter a band or artist that you like and it will play music which has a similar theme or feel, very cool.
Once the song is playing, you can give it either a thumbs up or down and then it continues to fine-tune your favorite music. After...

You need to try fiddleheads that were just picked. Did you have some true Atlantic lobster when you were over here on the east coast? Same deal.

i love those quirky black comedies biggrin
can't believe how young Miranda Otto looks in this film!
D and I went on a picnic today.
The weather was great...
just wish i could kick this cold to the curb!
corpho:
Hiya. I feel very welcome now, thanks to you.

Yay! Tattoo! Do you get that rush, or are they simply painful for you?

I had SUCH a great time this weekend!!! I had the extreme pleasure of meeting the fun and beautiful ShellyMC, and spent a good portion of the weekend basking in her coolness. I am now so sad that we live on opposite coasts. frown
Her husband Dorwayin was able to join us from time to time over the weekend, although not nearly enough time! They...

I'm off to Boston for a few days to meet up with the fabulous ShellyMC and her equally fabulous husband Dorwayin, we will be joined by the not-so-surly SurlyMike, so a good time should be had by all! And with any luck we'll also get to meet TestyKitty! It's an SG extravaganza!! We will also be checking out some films at the...

I spent the weekend in Poulsbo, which is a cute little town a ferry ride away from where I live. I was hoping for sun, but instead had two solid days of non-stop rain. frown
We rent this little place called "Le Shack" which is a little guest house on some people's property, but as of last year they built a "treehouse" on the same property,...

nofi:
he's actually still on KROQ semi regularly. mostly weekend and overnights. he started there in 1990, the same year as kevin and bean. and he was part of that murder confession prank that they all got in big trouble over. we email once in a while. he's incredibly funny and has the same passion for movies that i do.
blackdye15:
He's aggresive with his own kind. frown

Don't worry. He gets more attention than he wants as it is, though! Momma's always sticking food in front of his face and petting on his warm, hard shell! hahah I'm trying to get him used to me petting on his head. He's still a bit skittish, though.

(Would love to see how this is read out of context! tongue )

The Miracle Mile was actually on cable last night!
I hadn't seen it for a while,but i always enjoyed it.
I think it's pretty truthful regarding how people start to react and how primal they get when in a state of panic.
Plus, i love Mare winningham, i was asking Mike if he ever saw "Georgia"....
have you?
It's an interesting film, if not a bit depressing.
It also has Jennifer Jason Leigh in it...
and i adore her also.
I thought she was great in "The Anniversary Party"
blackdye15:
We've lived in Seattle almost 2 years, and we LOVE it! biggrin

It's just the winters are way too long for us tongue

At least the summers are sticky humid 104 degrees wink

Which one of these scenes do YOU find the sexiest? Is there one not listed that you think should have made the list?

John Hughes should win some type of award for all the fun teen films he made....and for introducing the world to Molly Ringwald love
as dated as they may be, i never tire of watching those films.
I even have a few of those soundtracks as well....but they are on tape or vinyl tongue
Did you like the movie "Valley girl"?
I had a big crush on Deborah Foreman as well. How about "Real genius"? not exactly a teen comedy ( well college teen moreso than highschool teen) but its still a great comedy.
Eventually i will make it out to seattle, i just dont see it happening in the summer... but i'd rather stay at a hotel, as i'm weird about crashing at peoples houses....i'm strange like that, feel like i'm invading personal space.
I don't mind people staying with us, but in all honesty our apt is really small and we don't have an extra bedroom.
Wendy stayed here for a night in december and in january..... poor D took the couch. But lucky me got to share a bed with her. tongue
I was a perfect gentleman though!
shellymc:
I'm watchin "Clerks" and trying to will myself to go to bed as i have to get up in six hours.
But yeah...."Real genius" is such a great film!
The first movie that Val Kilmer made such an impression on me... i love that scene he has with deborah foreman.
The line about him hammering a nail through a board with his penis biggrin
i do appreciate the invite to stay at your place or Mike's, but i would feel invasive.
and definitely appreciate the fact that you don't expect me to be such a gentleman wink
One of my other favorite Val Kilmer films is "Thunderheart".... i love this movie!
Should try to go to bed soon..... have a good night!

ahhhh, at last.....Friday! I'm so freakin' happy it's the weekend! And for a change I don't have a lot planned, so I can get in some major slothing! Although I will check out the Veg Fest tomorrow at the Seattle Center.

And now that all the awards shows are over, tell me, what were your favorite movies of 2005? Is there anything I may have...

Now you see why i only recommended the first "Angel"...the sequels were ick in comparison.
Not even Bronski beat could save them!
and i like Bronski beat.
There was another Victoria Abril film i liked but for the life of me i cannot remember the title and therefore will have to look it up on IMDB later..
She plays a married woman who also falls in love with this older lesbian woman, and the husband is aware of the affair.
I'll look into it later.
How was your weekend?
Thanks for the compliments on my photos blush i really only like the one of me when i was five, i truly look like a little diva in that one.
shellymc:
and for the record, i'm not half as photogenic as i was when i was younger.
I cannot take a decent photo void of makeup!
I tend to look very sick and jaundiced eeek
