I saw a line of people standing outside Cinerama again on the way home from work today. That happens a lot there.

Being only a few blocks from home (and playing such obviously popular selections), Cinerama would seem like a great place for me to go see movies. But they have an uncanny ability to pick movies that I have no desire to see and play them for weeks on end. I guess that means I’m not in their target market. So, despite the fact that I can walk to Cinerama in five minutes or less, I end up going there only about once a year — usually when friends really want to go see something there. Last week was a small exception to the rule. We saw Anger Management there, and it was pretty good. Definitely not a normal Cinerama film.

Most of the time, I have to be content to walk a few more blocks to Pacific Place or Meridian 16 if I want to see a movie I actually like.

Someone left their gum on top of this phone. I guess they took it out when they were talking to someone. What I wonder is whether they were planning to put it back in their mouth after they put it there. I really hope not.

The paving out front is finally done, only five days after they said it would be. And it comes with crisp new lines painted for the parking spaces. I don’t suppose this will convince anyone to actually obey them or anything…

Yesterday, we went to the zoo. It was a nearly perfect zoo day — not too hot, but not raining or cold either. It was a lot of fun.

Today, on the other hand, has been mostly filled with cleaning and other housework. Now I’m just waiting for the last load of laundry to finish so I can fold it and go to sleep…

We did do one fun thing today. We made Martha’s macaroni and cheese. I don’t care if you’re a Martha fan or not; if you want a good mac and cheese recipe, this one is worth trying!
