I just haven't felt like doing anything here today. After lunch yesterday, I didn't go back to Folklife - came back home instead, and mowed the laundry. I watched a Sheryl Lee movie called "Bliss" - it was pretty awful. The film tried to explore a woman trying to deal with child sexual abuse in her past, and getting help from her husband using tantric sex techniques. It was a muddled mess, but the performances by Sheryl Lee, and Terrence Stamp were exemplary.
Later, I went on POF, and was really disappointed by the number of people who were on-line. So much so, that I logged off, and flipped through the channels on TV... something I almost never do.
Today, I went to the dog walk meetup event in Redmond today. Both Kayla and Buddy were on their best behavior. I hadn't been to Marymoor's dogpark since before they started charging $1 for parking. It was impossible to keep Buddy out of the water - he was retrieving "labradors"... funny how much they look like tennis balls. But everything looks like a tennis ball to Buddy. Squirrel? A tennis ball with a fluffy tail. Raccoon? A BIG tennis ball with a ringed tail. You get the idea.
After the dog park, I went back to Folklife to people watch. Thousands of people, food, music, etc. It was... okay. A bit like the Bite of Seattle, but with less food. And like a bluegrass version of Bumbershoot. Back when I was in radio, I tried to avoid country... and western. There was an Irish trio playing a guitar, a violin, and a bag-pipe-like thing that he pumped with his armpits.
Tomorrow, I'll probably make my way down there again after mowing the rest of the lawn... ;?>
