Saturday night i went to have dinner at the Pink Door in seattle for a friends birthday. Pink Door is an italian restaurant, i think a bit overrated, but still pretty good. It was completely packed though, which we couldn’t quite figure out until the burlesque show started around 10pm. Apparently there’s a show every Saturday night, and it’s always a different show.
It was definitely interesting, I don’t know that I really care that much about it that i’d go again, but it was something different you don’t really see all that often. 3 girls performed, one on a trapeze which they have in the dining room, doing essentially topless strip-tease with pasties while wearing (and then removing) old fashioned lingerie.
not much else exciting going on really.
Well, Jim, Nathan, Katie and I watched Million Dollar Baby last night which is a really good movie. I wouldn’t recommend watching it if you don’t want to feel sad at the end of it, but it’s very good and we all liked it a lot. Essentially it’s Clint Eastwood (cool) as a boxing manager/trainer who runs a boxing gym with his friend played by Morgan Freeman (whom i have determined should narrate all movies), and he takes on a 31 year old female boxer (Hillary Swank). obviously she doesn’t know much at the end, but she’s tough and stubborn and blah blah and then she gets good. but really it’s not about the boxing, it’s the relationships they have and all that good stuff.
But seriously, the sad thing - Katie apparently cried for the last 20 minutes of the movie because it’s bit heavy at the end. But she still liked it, and it is an excellent movie.
Also, invader zim is great.
all we need is just a little patience
