Baby did a bad, bad thing

Bought plates. Gorgeous square, black sushi plates in three sizes and in sets of sixes.  I’ve been searching for the perfect set for a long time.  But now that I’ve got them, I feel oh-so-domesticated - like a friggin bovine.

Finally..

I found a pair of bronze snakeskin anklestrap 4 inch stilettos!

Portland?

Friday, June 24th, 2005

Thinking of driving to Portland to meet up with friends.  The problem is, its 9pm and its a good 5 hour drive. hmmm…I guess that’s why espresso is so popular.  Gotta love tax free shopping!

Why the fuck I say I love travelling?!  Today has been a long 13 hours of running after flights and going from airport to airport.  I especially hated my 35-gate trek through Concourse A of Dallas/Fort Worth - and that was before the shuttle ride!  Then again, it is on someone else’s dime.. hehehe.  Tomorrow I get to see another part of the country I haven’t been to before.  Pictures to come.

Safeco Rocks!!!

Went to the Mariners versus Mets game yesterday with Jenn and Brian.  The weather was nice for Northwest standards.  Ate too much caramel corn and garlic fries.  Saw Ichiro Suzuki and Mike Piazza.  Mariners won 4-1.  Pictures to come soon.

Loved, loved, loved this movie!  Great dialogue, wonderfully acted, and as real a plot as you can find out there.  First I must say that I am not a believer of fairy tale romances (although I wouldn’t mind if Clive Owen’s caveman threw me around!) and that is probably why I liked this movie so much.  It isn’t your formulaic girl meets boy love story.  This deals with cheating, lying, revenge and throwing it all in your partner’s face.  Sure on the one hand, these are things that generally hurt people’s emotions.  But on the other, it shows how adults should deal with these scenarios - by being honest, accepting the consequences of their actions and if necessary, staying civil.  It also has Damien Rice’s "The Blower’s Daughter" - the new song of choice for depressives.  My one gripe, what the f*** is with those boots Natalie Portman wears in the opening scene?!  Couldn’t they have chosen something more fabulous?  She was supposedly from New York after all.

Silver Lake Roza Riesling

The perfect summer dessert white wine - no you don’t have to wait for it to be summertime.  Grab a bottle or a case or two!  This goes down easy but creeps up on you F-A-S-T!  My guinea pigs have confessed to ravaging boyfriends, picking fights, and ruined shoes after excessive amounts of this wine.

Amaretto Sweet & Sour

Classic and perfectly fruity.  This drink only gets me mildly trashed though.  Chickees that have an uncanny talent with that cherry stem, here’s your chance to show off.
