Got up nice and early! Like...7:40amish! Insane! Showered and hopped in the car with a bowl of Cheerios to munch on. Got some gas on the way into town. Today I was to meet up with Marcus and go to Seattle to see the Steve McQueen (different McQueen) movie Shame. Turns out there wasn't a showing till 3, when we originally thought there would be one at 11 or so. Oh well. We decided to go in early anyway.
It was a nice ride over, full of conversation about movies and Duchamp and artistic context. We got our tickets first and then I got a smoothie and he got a burger and we sat and chatted. And walked down to Pike's and chatted. I found one of those great "omg love Jesus" illustrated pamphlets. This one was about how by thinking we have a choice, we've already picked Satan. Wandered down into Pike's Place Market. Went into various shops. Walked back up to the theater.
We were first in and got prime seats.
Ahhh what a tragic, sad, well shot, well acted, well made movie. One of those "I'm going to feel really bad emotionally after this, but that just means it was a good artistic experience" type films. It delivered! Well worth the extensive journey. We caught the 5:30 back.
I managed to stoke the fire back into action upon my return. Watching Russian Sherlock Holmes and trying to think what to do with the rest of my life.
