for those of you who missed it, my memorial day three-day weekend could not have been better.
friday night, jeff and i went to go see indiana jones at the midnight screening at the cinerama. i love that place because the screen is so huge and the seats are so comfy. i have to admit though, i was tired as all hell when that movie started playing. i did like it though, i loved it all the way up until the end. the end killed part of it for me, because it was completely unrealistic and too much, but otherwise, good stuff.
saturday was vashon island. it was a bit hard to get up after getting home at like two or three in the morning from indiana jones. but we got up and jeff came to pick me up and we were off! we drove past alki beach on our way to the ferries, just so we could see it on such a gorgeous day and the place was packed like it usually is on days like the fourth of july. i don't remember seeing that many folks on alki in a long time.
thankfully, the line for the ferry went really quickly and we were one of the first on the ferry so we were one of the first to get off. i liked that. for the duration of the ride we were up on the top balcony, being hit pretty hard by the wind. little did we know we would wish for that wind when we were biking.... anyway...
when we got off the ferry we went straight to the vashon island bike shop and rented two bikes. we didn't have any idea where we were going so we just kind of picked a direction and went with it.
we took a little rest stop under a gorgeous tree and i was very sad that it was so hot. the sun was beating down on us and making me melt, in a bad way. but shortly after this photo was taken, we got back on the road!
when we got home, food was ready and waiting, and very noms. we talked about embarrassing things and jeff got to see photos of me growing up. in all of my mismatched spice girls lovin' glory.
and then we played boggle - the birthday gift his mommy got me - and we're tied. 3-3. i will win though. just gimme time. :)
last night was the schoolyard heroes concert. i chose not to bring my camera so i have no awesome and amazing photos. i do however, have awesome and amazing memories.
first band whose name i do not remember was alright.
creature feature kicked ass and i am getting all of their cd's so far today.
aiden blew so hard.
schoolyard heroes rocked.
creature feature was the surprise of the night, i did not know they were going to be so amazing.
schoolyard heroes ended with screaming theatre in a crowded fire - my favorite song - so i rocked pretty hard to that. second to last song was dawn of the dead. and she came up to me and YELLED it literally in my face. if i leaned forward half an inch i could have kissed her she was that close. she also came up to jeff and just poked him out of nowhere. i keep hoping she recognized me. the song lineup was amazing. the crowd wasn't too large so it felt like a very intimate show.
i walked away from that feeling very satisfied.
as for today... it is homework day and clean-up a little day. i don't have much to clean, and i don't have much homework to speak of, so i think it will be juuuuuuust fine. :)
