08/26/2002: "Weekend Update"

Saw Pink Martini last night up at the zoo. It was sold out and completely packed! There was an opening band and they finished around 7:30 p.m. Pink Martini started late and finished by 10. They didn't play that long, which was a bummer. We left about two songs before they were finished so we could avoid the crowds taking MAX. I had never seen Pink Martini live and they sounded good. Check them out...

I finally saw Lord of the Rings this weekend. In the beginning I was really engaged, but my enthusiasm faded after the midway point. More than anything, it made me want to read the book. I plan on starting The Hobbit first, then finishing the Lord of the Rings series. I've had the boxed set since I got them for Christmas in high school, but have never read them. It's probably about time.

B and I went to a really great seafood restaurant on Saturday night, Winterborne. We had an amazing meal there. Huge mussels, delicious tomato/corn soup, halibut with a roasted red pepper sauce, and a seafood bouillabaise with prawns, more mussels, salmon, and clams. The meal ended with some lightly dressed greens. Unfortunately, we had no room for dessert. This was a wonderfully intimate space. Highly recommended!
