Did you know that you can read all of H.P. Lovecraft's works for free on teh intarweb? I just found that out yesterday. They're all over at Wikisource.
Anyway, I digress. Yesterday (Friday) Carrie y I got up a littl early so Carrie could get to work before 8:00 (which she did by about five minutes).
After work we went to the big dollar store on 6th Avenue (near Pearl) and bought a few little things, mostly for Lena's Easter basket. I also stocked up on Peeps so I could perform my annual Peep Show at Fools Play this weekend.
Don't know about my Peep Show? Or alternately, know about my Peep Show and can't wait to see it? Here's one from a couple of years ago.
Then we swung by Chez Targét where we ran into Lindsay and Parker (who is just enormous).
From Chez Targét we went directly to I Heart Bento, one of Missa's favorite restaurants. I had squid sushi, tuna rolls, and salmon rolls with cucumber. Carrie had a blackened mackrel with California rolls. We both had miso soup as well (of course). It was pretty tasty, and we got out of there for about eight bucks less than we would usually spend in a sushi joint.
After that we swung by Trader Joe's and stocked up on what they had in stock. See, Carrie usually goes there Saturday mornings, which is right after they do a huge re-stock of the store. On Friday nights they're plenny picked-over, so we ended up spending like 20 bucks less than usual (which ain't a bad thing necessarily) because they were just plumb out of some things.
As we were driving back to the house Carrie called Catherine and learned that Heather and Chris were also going to be over there that evening. So we stopped at home really quickly so we could grab a bottle of wine and I could burn Nicole's handout onto a CD. We ran that (the CD, not the wine) to the Bead Factory, and then we swung by Metropolitan Market to buy garlic bread and heirloom oranges.
Then we went to Chris & Cat's house and had a jolly good evening. All three of the Chrisses were in attendence, and it's always nice when we get together. Heather was making pizza, but she accidentally made too much dough. When I say she made too much dough, I mean she made way too much dough. She made enough dough to create probably seven extra-large pizzas. Sometimes I don't know what's going on in her head.
Chris Gouker went to the store to buy some more pizza sauce and Carrie went with him... in his gigantic boom-truck! Carrie said it was mucho de fun. There was much wine consumed that evening (I think three or four bottles between six people). Whenever Carrie & Cat get together they somehow feed off of each other's energies and end up having about seven or eight times as much fun as they would normally be having. Add some wine to that mix and you have really loud fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
I didn't enjoy so much when Cat & Carrie wanted to watch an episode of Cheerleader Nation that Cat had recorded. I will say that Cheerleader Nation is not nearly as loathsome as 8th & Ocean or Laguna Beach, in that Cheerleader Nation does not glamourize everything that is wrong with humanity. Many of the cheerleaders are actually quality people! Their mothers, on the other hand...
I kinda dozed off because I hadn't gotten good sleep the night before (stressful dreams about complicated buildings, of course), and I got a little grumpy when a second episode of Cheerleader Nation started. Fortunately that got cut off halfway through the episode.
I drove Carrie home, as I had only had a couple of glasses of wine several hours earlier and was therefore completely sober by this time, whereas Carrie was not quite so much. We put on pajamas and went straight to bed, and I had a dream about a sequel to Thundercats, starring a whole new set of cats including wizard triplets and a young girl and an old man, and then some kind of mysterious warrior guy who could turn himself into some sort of flaming something, and another kinda generic young woman. And Mum-Ra was back from the dead somehow (but he gets killed by the fire guy in the end of the series). This Thundercats show took place in a much more oceanic setting than the first one, with most scenes taking place within view of the ocean or at dramatic rocky cliffs.
Sometimes I heart my dream people.
