Coming attractions

So we've been total bums lately. Which I think is okay. I thought that the Fourth of July would yield some interesting stories, but we ended up isolating ourselves in the apartment, hanging some pictures, and having a Buffy marathon. Then Holly came over and we had fish tacos and watched Harry Potter. At least, I think that might be the right day I'm remembering... I managed to be out of town every single day of the short week before the holiday, so I didn't really feel like doing much that weekend. Particularly if it required sitting in a car for longer than ten minutes.

The end point is that not much has happened in the Tracy and San household of late, aside from some quality time with some friends and seeing the ever-funny Arj Barker at Lakeshore Theater. Which reminds me that I should recommend that you check him out - www.arjbarker.com. I have no idea why he doesn't have youtube video up, but it's a bit negligent. The crowd was an unfortunately bad match to his comic style, which involves long lead-ups and some subtle humor, but we got several good laughs. In fact, I think Carolyn narrowly avoided peeing herself a couple of times. It was all good fun.

I predict, however, that the above statement regarding domestic bummage will soon be null and void. San made me get out of bed before 6 a.m. this morning (notice that it's Saturday!) to drop him off at the airport. I will be joining him in a few days to meet his family (*gasp*) and serve as arm candy as he presides as Best Man at his friend's wedding. If there aren't stories, I will be extraordinarily disappointed. San is already working on collecting them. I spoke with him mid-afternoon, and he had already flown via regional jet to New York, taken a brewery tour, eaten barbeque, bought comics, and taken a nap in preparation for an evening out. I think he may have even met up with his parents at some point. In the same span of time, I had driven home from the airport, eaten yogurt, run by the vet's office to pick up a list of potential cat-sitters, and taken a shower and two naps.

Stories will be shared after we get back from almost-Canada.

(Just wanted to note how much I'm loving your indie blog... now then, onward with the commenting!)

I love comics who don't throw joke after joke after joke, but give a joke time to develop and settle. Speaking of that, I need to find time to head out to the Laugh Factory one of these days.

You forgot to mention the Tapas place, Barracudebarackobarbarous, or some such nonsense. Captain and I found glory in not one, but two plates of assorted sausages.

Is that supposed to be the name of the restaurant? Try Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba! The sangria was yummy. The paella was disappointing. San and the Cap ate a second plate of sausage instead of ordering desert. Oh, wait, no, San ordered the second plate AND desert!
