Sore in the morning, pornography
Tunes The Hives - Love in Plaster

I got The HIves' CD after all (those Swedes know how to fing rock!), along with an old Ween CD (Chocolate and Cheese). "The AIDS Song" is my new official favorite song for 2004, even if it's ten years old. I felt like a total perv buying their CD yesterday. "Yes, I'll take The Hives and this pornography, thank you."

Saw Garden State yesterday (way before Jason even thought about seeing it). It was a really amazing movie - I loved the humor and the soundtrack (props to Zac Braff for being a Shins fan), and it really ran the gamut of emotions for me. Got all choked up at the end. A good movie for everybody to see. Natalie Portman plays a good epileptic.

Today I indeed went kayaking and was scared for my life! We were out on Lake Union for about two hours, and the first half hour I just spent trying to figure out how to move forward effectively without tipping over. Those things are not steady! What were those Eskimos thinking? I have a very water friendly background, but always on small boats or rafts - that was much different. Andrea 'I was on crew team in college' and James 'I'm an international traveller so of course I kayak well' were good people to kayak with, even if they abandoned me while I got my sea legs... or water wings... or whatever it is you get. Once I got those though I had a really good time, and am a little sore even now from all that rowing, and we all know that good time = soreness ^ 10.

I realize that this font really isn't the best one for readibility on this site, but y'know, it gives me fond memories, so there ya go.
