what a fun time for me

friday night we checked out lunchbox laboratory in ballard. freakin' yum! although i'm pretty sure i ate enough burger that night to fulfill a whole year's worth of burger. i ordered the homage to the dicks deluxe. sirloin beef, bacon, american cheese, and a top secret burger sauce. the burger was sloppy and juicy, not to mention incredibly large. attempting to get every ingredient in one bite was really difficult, so i decided to instead take small nibbles and enjoy the goodness that way. on the side was a bostom cream pie milkshake and sweet potato fries and yes i had very little to eat the rest of the weekend.

after food coma set in we decided to check out the new james bond movie, it was good. not much else to say about that i suppose other than it's rare when i'm a part of "opening weekend" sales statistics.

saturday morning kitsy and i woke up early to take a gander through the goodwill off dearborn for their annual "glitter sale". the sale comprises of goodwill's vintage and designer label donations that they recieve year round and then save it for this huge once a year sale. i did not find much for myself. a lot of jewelry then realized that after waiting an hour and a half in line to get into the sale, i had to wait a whole other hour to pay. lame. oh well, at least we tried but i did get an awesome awesome popcorn popper exactly like molly's! i can't wait to make popcorn now!

later in the evening we went to hopvine to check out our buddy, joshua atkins' art. he has a show there to the end of the month and so far seems to be very successful. i love his fun paintings of the monster blob creature and the world that surrounds it.

fall is the loveliest time of year. always festive and never dull. my friday night included listening to "this american life" with brian, making sweet sweet nachos and fish tacos, and celebrating jon killian's 31st birthday at the canterbury.

saturday morning we dilly dallied around the house, i tried to sew oil cloth and neoprene together and it's not working out so i had to visit stitches today and pick up some interfacing. in the afternoon, we visited discovery park and the always yummy red mill burger joint. how can a trip to magnolia ever be complete without a side jaunt to interbay to enjoy a delicious burger. it was michael robb's idea...all he had to do was mention the place and brian was there. later in the evening we went to a super fun surprise party for our friends joel and charlie. the party raged with confettti, silly string, soul music, and plenty of libations. i drank a shit ton of wine and got pretty effed. we stayed a while then headed to josh's house party, where people were playing ping pong and hanging out in the kitchen. it's so funny how that always happens, huge house but always 15+ people crammed in the kitchen enjoying conversation.
