Vacation 2005.4
Jul. 16th, 2005 09:35 amMy intentions for yesterday (Friday) had been ambitious: visiting the UO art museum and trying DDR with
fractal9091, watching him play Magic: The Gathering at Evolution Gaming, then a Harry Potter release party. Unfortunately, my sunburn had majorly disrupted my sleep, and I had a wicked headache, so we ended up doing none of that.
In the afternoon we looked some at the pictures from his vacation on Washington Island, Wisconsin, then went on a walk on the southern footpath off Brae Burn Drive. We had burritos/quesadilla for dinner and read a bit outside (Blue Adept for J. and a food chapter in Under the Tuscan Sun for me. Then R., J., and I watched The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I actually had fun watching it, though it's certainly not much of a movie. It did mean that two of the three most recent movies I'd seen involved use of a burrowing vehicle to rob the Bank of London, and three for three had the good guys stacking up their hands together to symbolize their solidarity. Richard says that says something about me. Hrmph.
In the evening, J. and I watched an Avengers episode (birds used to transmit military secrets), the second season premiere of the new Battlestar Galactica, which neither of us had seen before, and a bit too much of a sordid flick about female bounty hunters in outer space. We then saw the best show of the evening: a Daffy Duck cartoon called, "M.M.O.R.P.D."
