Yesterday (Thursday) after I picked Carrie up for her split-shift I decided to go for a walk in order to hopefully wake up a little bit more. I ended up walking around 40 blocks total. It was really cool. The weather was great—it was almost room temperature out, but it was still pretty overcast so I didn't have to squint (the sun equals my enemy sometimes). I walked through an area I hadn't really explored before. It was pretty nice.
But one of the coolest things about it was that it was almost completely deserted. It was as if I were walking through a ghost town. There were no other people out walking, and I saw maybe three cars driving around the whole time. I guess everybody was at work like normal people. But there were a lot of cats wandering around. And a couple of sleeping dogs.
I ended up next to this small but very deep ravine in which a three-story house was built so that only the top story was even with the street level. It was very strange. I don't think I'd like to live somewhere like that. The house across the street was for sale, though, for only $450,000! Yikes! Houses are so expensive in Tacoma right now...
Anyway, when I got back home Carrie was asleep. So I worked for about an hour before she woke up. She then walked up to the Mandolin Café to hang out with Mary before she (probably) goes to Guam in a few days' time.
After I took her back to the store to teach her class I got a call from Brandy in New York and we talked about, oh, jeez, lots of stuff for about an hour. "Twas good to hear from her, 'twas. She comes home in like a month and a half! That's rather exciting.
I made pot stickers and fried carrots for din-dins. It made the house smell really, really nice. I watched some of Ang Lee's Hulk while I did two loads of dishes. I hold to my original opinion of the film: It's got four-star direction but only a two-star script. Man, that film has some of the best scene transitions evar!
Carrie came home and we ate Girl Scout cookies and watched Once More, With Feeling. Carrie had a hard time falling asleep but I had a hard time staying awake, even with Conan being hilarious with a Mr. T cameo and everything. I joked that I stole Carrie's sleep.
