SMC 11.76.005

Because I spent all morning in training for work in Redmond and had to make a meeting back in Seattle right afterward, I drove to Redmond, drove back to Seattle, parked on the street for the meeting then drove back home. When I came back to my car, I had a parking ticket on the [...]

‘Fashion Victims’

Last night, Ken and I went to see a 9:45pm showing at the King Cat Theater of Fashion Victims (original title: Reine Geschmacksache, literal translation: Pure Matter of Taste) at SLGFF. I liked the film a lot. The story was compelling, although a bit over the top at one point. The pacing was good. The [...]

Clipper Loudness

A while back, I spent around $100 to buy a quality pair of hair clippers. I’d gone through a ton of cheapo ones over the years that would usually last less than a year before they would no longer cut hair properly.
I got them out today to cut my hair, but the motor was making [...]

Fall Leaves

Over the past week, I’ve taken several pictures of the tree right outside of my sliding glass door. Each time I’ve been more wowed by the colors of the leaves.
It started out like this last Saturday,

But then got even prettier (and yellower),

I can’t decide if it’s getting still yellower or if it’s just the effect [...]

SLGFF, Part III

I saw yet another film at the Seattle Lesbian and Gay Film Festival this afternoon. This time, I saw Equality U at noon at the Admiral Theater. The film is a documentary about the Soulforce equality ride. I’ve donated to their cause a couple times over the years, so mostly I just wanted to see [...]

Friday Night

After work, I headed home to try to make some dinner before leaving for another film festival screening. Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to finish making the split pea soup and threw together some frozen pasta from Trader Joe’s at the last minute.
The screening was at Northwest Film Forum at 7:30 for Pansy Division: [...]

‘Save Me’ at SLGFF

Tonight, I went to see Save Me at the Harvard Ext as part of the Seattle Lesbian and Film Festival. When I looked through the program the other day, this film didn’t really interest me so I didn’t buy a ticket for it. However, some friends were going and convinced me to buy a ticket [...]

New Furniture

Just a short while ago, my new nightstand and dresser were delivered.

I’d only been waiting for about an hour (in a given two hour window), so I actually have time to go back to work even.

New Glasses

After work today, I picked up my new glasses from Broadway Vision Source. I’m having mixed feelings about them. My field of vision distorts a lot more than with my old glasses. I think the prescription may even be wrong too because I was having trouble seeing street signs clearly on my walk home. If [...]

A Mellow Sunday Evening

I wasn’t totally unproductive today. I did sit around most of the day, but also cleaned my bathroom, put up my new shower curtain and vacuumed.
This evening, Ken and I went to see Boogie Man at Central Cinema. Central Cinema is great because you can order food and drinks (beer and wine) while you’re [...]
