"Do you feel like you're playing with a three year old?"

The last time I had held a controller, it had a lot less buttons. omnifarious sat me down in front of Katamari Damacy this morning. (I kept thinking, I hope spazzychic doesn't get mad for not getting to me first.) As expected, I'm pretty terrible.

Later today I went out in the bold sunshine to Alki, where divinityof_fire and I peered around an Indian cultural festival. We then got some dinner and headed up the hill to see The Lady in the Water. I meant to see it weeks ago, but somehow... . I love Shyamalan. His earlier movies were stronger films in terms of mainstream appeal, but I *liked* Signs and The Village, and I liked this one, too. His storytelling style appeals to me. I think he fills his movies with strong actors who get to play characters that they enjoy.

Before the movie, we wandered around Metropolitan Market for a bit and admired the cheeses. Mmm, cheese. The variety makes me want to throw a party.

(Love that icon) Coffee? Absolutely. When?

You don't live down the street from the mmm in Admiral District. Nevertheless, yours must also have those adorable, tiny fresh mozzarella spheres marinated in herbs & oil. So many good cheeses. So many varieties of brie and chevre. I like the ones that are rolled in things, like herbs or walnuts. With Carrs crackers or some good European style bread, perhaps a glass of fermented fruit, honey, or grain.

The one down the street used to be Queen Anne Thriftway, before the great name change.

How about this afternoon? I know this place up the street from me that has nice coffee, and very comfy leather couches. They often have good Jazz or Blues on weekend afternoons and evenings. If you drive, fancy a drive south? Or would you rather I meet you at some place closer to your home?

Give me a call. Contact info is in my memories.

The cupcakes & company were fun. Let's have a sequel sometime!
