how saturdays should be

got up whenever. no alarm. no rush.

marabeth came over laden with delicious food she'd prepared for dinner and a couple of 'floaties'. or 'lilo's' if you come from NZ.

it doesn't matter what marabeth and i are doing, we are usually laughing about it. it's just always an adventure of some sort. me getting into the pool to lie on my floatie without getting wet was the first mission impossible. of course i got wet. but it was gorgeous to lie in a cool pool. under the hot sun. with my best friend. bliss.




after the divine dinner of organic grilled vegetables, steak and salad goodness (the first home cooked meal i've had in months), we got glammed up and went to mercy loung to see the cat empire. the show was AMAZING. they are such high energy. non stop incredible music for about 2 hours. i was first introduced to them in melbourne and i'm pretty certain they are going to blow up in the states. they've already got a huge fan base in europe and the motherland (australia). if you get a chance to see them you totally should. i'll give you a refund if you end up being dissapointed. well maybe not a refund, but we would have to have a serious talk about our friendship and whether it could be sustained over such a difference of opinion.



we also got to meet the band and tried not do the 'groupie' thing. but probably failed miserably.

anyway. a great day. such a fun evening. finished off the night talking to someone who makes me smile way too much.

it's pouring down with rain so we're going to see michael moore's 'sicko' at the movies today, then i'll hit a yoga class. perfection really.

Sista! Your plugging the Cat Empire has got me feeling all misty and parochial. I remember playing them at that dinner party to prove to Fred all singers didn't have American (human) accents. Sigh. Golden times.
