Oh with the happy...
Well, what a weekend!

On FRI, just after work, I raced over to Annex to help troubleshoot some technical thingees before zipping over for drinks for a co-worker's bday.  We went to 10-Mercer, a hoity joint in Lower Queen Anne that is apparently known for their mussels.  I just had a pretty pricey manhattan.
 Fortunately, I had "pre-liquored" at Annex, so the one was just fine.

I got home just in time to run some errands with Kendra before we headed out to the b-day celebration of Rick Miller, he of the Half Brothers and his own badass musical self.  It was a great pleasure to know everyone at a party and actually be excited to see them all.  We had a hoot, and got pretty darned drunk if I do say so myself.

Upon getting home and winding down we pulled a couple of Tarot readings, which was very interesting in its own right.

SAT, waking up rather groggy, we got some breakfast and coffee and I set to work on the yard.  I don't know if anyone noticed but it was TOTALLY FUCKING GORGEOUS OUTSIDE.  Kendra held her classes outside, and after turning the compost bins and prepping some soil for planting (yeah yeah I know, we're late... whatevs), I then headed out for a bike ride.

After all this activity, we really weren't energized for another night out.  We did consider getting a fire going in the firepit and randomly inviting people over for a nightcap and relaxation... but we always seem to have bad turnout when we do that.  So, we rented Shoot 'Em Up instead and had a great time watching it.

SUN
Well, got up (late) and did some housework, then off to rehearsal.  Of course, the rain finally came when I was on the West Seattle Bridge on the scooter, not a very friendly place to be.  Between the wind, the wet, and the cars still thinking they're on I-5, it was a bit of a white-knuckler.

Now I've just eaten and it is time to relax.  Front-loading the weekend can be fun sometimes, I didn't mind SAT and SUN being anemic at all.

I'm generally not much for mindless action-movie experiences, but must say I did enjoy "Shoot 'Em Up", just because it was so obvious about its own sense of mindless fun - who knew carrots could be deadly weapons?

And yeah, I hate riding on the WSF at just about any time, rain or no. The Harbor Island bridge is a lot less daunting, particularly in inclement weather, and generally has about zero traffic.

Yah, the best part of the flick was that it was in on the joke WITH us.

And you know, I thought about the Harbor Island Bridge after I got home, I've been over it before, but I couldn't see in my mind's eye how to get over there from where I was. I'll have to Google it for next time.
