I went to see my first Mariners game on Friday night (actually, my first live pro sports event ever). We lost, and we were stuck sitting behind a REALLY ANNOYING youth group, but still! It was fun to watch. Plus, we made up for it by winning last night in a really exciting ninth inning. Should have gone to see *that* game instead, but oh well.

After that we headed over to the Harry Potter release party at Barnes & Noble. I'm sure it was fun, but I was really too sleepy at that point to notice. :P I did notice an awfully cute little girl dressed up as a house elf, though. And I read the first part of the Marvel 1602 trade, which is enough to convince me that I need to own it. As soon as my wallet recovers from this past week.

Yesterday we trekked up to shadawyn's place for the weekly writing meeting. I got to see her apartment all swanky and furnished, reacquaint myself with the cats (Madeline seemed to recognize me even though she didn't want to, whereas I think Sebastian went through phases of remembering me and being overwhelmed by terror at my unfamiliarity, sigh), and then stuff myself silly at the Outback Steakhouse (OMG steak! and fried things! and BREAD! <3). Also while there, I got some useful concrit for my story, which has given me some direction for my revision, YAY. <3 We then went back to the apartment to fill in whatever space we had leftover with cake and ice cream. Oof. *pokes belly*

Also while there, shadawyn's Firefly discs arrived, and we watched the pilot episode. Oh my oh my. I have been in need of a new, good series, and a good ensemble series really hits the spot. I would love to watch the rest of it, but alas, that must wait until I'm off of work in September and actually have the time. Or rather, actually have the time to watch the DVDs *and* get my writing done.

So, in summary: Baseball. Food. Books. Need Marvel 1602, when am not broke. Need Firefly, when am not busy.

And now to spend a leisurely afternoon reading Harry Potter, and revising my story.
