For some reason the weather hates Saturdays. For the past several weeks, no matter how nice the weather has been up until then, on Saturdays the weather turns completely to sh*t. It rained, rained, rained yesterday. I could barely see 50 feet in front of me on the way down to Olympia.
Anyway, after having the Fools Play workshop in the afternoon, Mike & I had to swing by Tiare's place to give her back her guitar, which she'd left in Mike's trunk. I met her cat, Grenade (which is a spectacularly good name for a cat), and we got on just fabulously. Tiare is crazy.
Then Mike & I swung by Meconi's where I got a sammitch and some potato salad. It was a tonne of food on the cheap, and way better than Subway stuff. Eat-out number 2!
Fools Play was the brand-new and very-exciting format "Deity High School." Before the show Mike & I wrote some wonderfully horrible, horrible theme songs to the show. They're just awesomely horrible. I love them.
Anyway, my student was trying to become the god of the spatula (and was made entirely of spatulas), Mike's was going for the god of exercise (and was a rather Schwarzanegger type of person), and Geoff's was going for the god of bigotry (he was made up entirely of Confederate flags). There was a fantastic bit towards the end where my character was chasing a taxicab through New York City. Since my character's hands were made of spatulas I had to hold my hands very stiffly flat, so when I ran I looked an awful lot like Robert Patrick in Terminator 2. And mike just happened to be playing a Schwarzanegger-type, and he showed up with a shotgun, and we basically spontaneously re-created a scene from T2. It was cool to hear the audience gradually realizing what we were doing.
After the show we went to Rib Eye as per usual, though I wasn't hungry enough for my usual patty melt so I just got some tots. Eat-out number 3! So the whole day, all of my meals were eaten out at a restaurant.
Thankfully the rain had calmed down to basically nothing by the time I left, so the drive home was nice and uneventful.
