fenchurch | Arrr! 'Tis a weekend update, ye scurvy dogs!

Saturday night "Firefly" Mini-marathon at the Kirkland Performance Center = Fun, fun, fun! A theatre filled with around 300 other fans, watching four episodes on a big screen... there's nothing like it! Managed to meet up with

sdwolfpup before the show, but couldn't see her once we got in and sat down... at least until the first intermission, when I realized she was sitting about three seats down from me on the same row! Oh, and apparently the folks at Kirkland Performance Center are thinking of doing this again sometime with different episodes!

Zoë and Polly have managed to meet through the baby gate at the top of the stairs, which has led to a number of rather alarming sounding spats (the most vocal one being this evening when I think there was actual physical contact for the first time -- I suspect it startled them both). We've realized that we'd really gotten used to having geriatric cats, and Zoë most definitely is not. In fact, she's a little bundle of barely suppressed energy, and she's already managed to gut several cat toys, just in the last week.

We briefly entertained the notion of going to London over Thanksgiving this year, but instead have ended up with rather elaborate plans to install hardwood flooring upstairs (ourselves! Yes, we're insane). And yeah, the two ideas were connected, but now I'm not entirely sure how.

I've really been enjoying City of Heroes, though I need to check around online for some hints on gameplay... I'm sure there's got to be more to it than just running around and beating on bad guys (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Bought tickets to the Seattle Symphony's Star Wars Spectacular in two weeks... making sure I picked a time that wasn't going to interfere with "Serenity" opening weekend festivities.

Happiness is... brand new 500 thread count sheets (and the coupon and sale at Linens-N-Things that made them more affordable). Thanks to our little shopping trip, there's also a new hypo-allergenic feather-bed mattress topper in the Ultimate Guest Room (aka The Island Room), making it better than ever... just in time for a visit from my step-mother later this week!

"The Pirate Movie" is just as silly as I remember.

Oh! And I discovered that my favorite Thai restaurant, Racha, has wi-fi! So now I can enjoy my favorite dish, Crying Tiger, or the ever-delicious Tom Yum soup while surfing the net. Life is good.
