weekendy

sunday morning, d's in the shower, i'm just taking a few minutes to blog for you all. we went to the chixmix party again on friday, and then had a lovely day yesterday shopping. i got up and drug all my cookbooks in bed with us, and we curled up together under the duvet and read recipies and made the shopping list. it was so nice. then we tried to find the sewing machine shop- no go. we drove around and around the block, and i cursed myself for not getting the address when i called for the hours. so it was off to the grocery store, devon market for veggies and dominicks for bagels and cheese.

we then drove to the empty bottle, the first craft show i've ever been carded in. i'm trying to remember the last time i went to a bar in the daylight= i'm pretty sure it was pride. it's always surreal. there were some fun crafts, but i went mostly to see pam and mike and trade christmas gifts with them. d bought some of her bottle caps. they really are f-ing cool.

but we couldn't linger and talk yarn with the crazy knitting lady, because we had to get to square dance lessons. which are still really boring for me. i keep thinking next class they'll get fun, but we'll see. i don't think i'll go next week, and i'll see how much the new students learn if i skip a week.

we were starving after that, so instead of making dinner, we went to the indie cafe, "our" place in my neighborhood. i went wild and had thai instead of japanese, and was richly rewarded with a sweet-peanutty-coconutty-spicy sauce. d enjoyed hers too. it was very companionable. then home again, where we watched fire.

which was pretty amazing, i mean, indian and lesbian, what a combination. i don't know if it was the filmmaker's style or if it was watching it on the flatscreen, but everything seemed so overexposed- there were all these interior shots with glowing white windows- or even saris that are colored in the shadows and glow white in the sunlight. but i guess when you're shooting some place with as high a light contrast as india, it's better than just capturing what the sun shines on and everythign else is black. it made the world outside seem so sunfilled and the inside full of shadows. it made me think about filters, which i think is a pretty stuck up view, but i don't notice the craft of filmmaking that often. anyway, it was wonderful.

d's out of the shower now. we're gonna go eat breakfast. see ya.
