Update First
Jul. 31st, 2005 08:37 pmUsually when I get on the internet, I read, read (email, lj) and then write. Now, I'm writing first.
Yesterday I met SeattleChris at the bus station and went down to the fireworks. The fireworks were fantastic this year, less crowded than usual and also better choreographed, with a bunch of distinct music/mood segments. Especially cool was the second-last segment, which had a whole bunch of ten-second clips from really recogniseable pop songs like Dancing Queen etc. We got back to my place fine, and I found that my couch is really very comfy to sleep on.
In the morning I did tomato bondange and then rushed off with SeattleChris to meet Tyler and head to Jhayne's and thus on to the Pride Parade. It was kind of cool to be hanging out with a bunch of people I didn't know much at all-- Tyler was a good security blanket, and everyone else was pretty cool. The parade itself sucked, though I saw Kenzie and Mel in it. There was just no oomph this year, whether because of heat or because it seemed like more people did token floats than went all-out.
I wore my strap tied to the loop of my collar in such a way that it looked liek a tie, together with my men's dress shirt. I was amused, at least.
After that, beach with the remains of the crowd (Tyler was gone by this time, so it was me, SeattleChris, Reina, Jhayne, Ryan, and a couple of assorted peopel at various times) and with food, went swimming a bit, and dropped Chris off at the station. Coincidentally ran into Jhayne and Reina again and we were all going shopping, so I did a commual girl-shoppign experience, which was also pretty cool, and here I am. I'm sweaty, sunscreeny, a little bit burnt, and salty. I need to shower. But, it was an excellent weekend, and it's still not over-- though I work tomorrow, the festivities continue with Beth's cavewarming.
Now that that is all down, I'll go read, and eat, and maybe do a more thoughtful update later. Still digesting right now, or maybe just am busy be-ing.
