Speaking of Getting Together More Often 

Yesterday (Thursday) Carrie y I took Carrie's Grandma K out for breakfast at IHOP. We had coupons. I had an huge meal that came with cinnamon buns that they French-toasted. After that we took her to Fred Meyer's so she could get supplied up. I bought also some sammitch baggies and a red onion.

Around 5:00 Carrie & I went over to Heather & Chris's for din-dins. Heather, who is quite a good chef (or "cheffrey" as I like to call those people) made a really tasty pesto sauce. Lotsa garlic and der cheese. Con queso! Also there was Cat & Chris.

After dinner Carrie drove me, Heather, and Chris up to Seattle to see Steph dance in a dance thing at ArtsWest. Good ol' ArtsWest. I almost walked downstairs just by habit.

There were four dances. The second was my favorite. The guy in it was very good. The third one was pretty good once they actually started moving, but there was like 75 minutes (exaggeration) of them just lying on the ground and bonking their knuckles on the floor. Bo-ring! The fourth one was called "The Onion Twins." Cat threatened that she would shout out, "Where are the damned onions!?" during the dance if no one came out in a giant onion costume. Carrie laughed so hard she slapped Cat in her injured knee. My main problem with it was the music was giving out very specific emotional cues, but the dancing was giving out completely different tone/emotion/pacing cues. Didn't know what the hell it was supposed to make me feel. Like there would be a very quiet and kinda sad piece of music and the dancers would be vibrating and throwing themselves all over with mad freneticism (word?). Huh? Did they choreograph it without listening to the music? Seemed like it to me, my fliend.

Steph was in the first dance, which had a similar flow to a zombie movie. No, not really a zombie movie so much as a disease-outbreak movie. The musician was live onstage with his guitar, and my favorite parts were when he would purposefully play something out of tune and act all flustered about it. Very funny. I like gags like that in things.

Anyhoo, on the drive back Chris got a craving for Iced Cream so we tried to find a Cold Stone Creamery that was open between West Seattle and Tacoma, but to no avail. They all closed at different times, though, was the weird thing.

Hooray for hanging out in groups!
