Tiki!

Here are some pictures from the Tiki Party. You can click through about 25 pictures from the photo album. That party was a lot of fun! I had a little too much to drink — I felt kind of icky all the next day. I rarely do that anymore, so it was a little disconcerting. I guess the sangria was stronger than it tasted.

I had a weird dream while napping this afternoon. It had to do with visiting Sarah and Emily, and then something about being on rocky ledges above the sea or a lake, driving on freeways in strange towns, and looking at the patterns on Joe’s bedsheets (as if he had separate sheets from Sarah). It was very involved and I kept half-waking up to see what time it was but then going back to sleep because I wanted to see what happened next in the dream.

We saw Fahrenheit 9/11 on Friday night. It was an amazing film. I cried through about half of it. Most of what he talked about was stuff I already knew, but it just made my blood boil to hear it again. And the images… oh man. I made myself watch the whole thing and not turn my head away, including all the images of dead and dying people, and some of what I saw is going to stay burned into my brain for a very long time. It was the number one film this weekend, taking in nearly $22 million, at a very small number of screens. It’s the number one documentary of all time — and this was just opening weekend.

  1. We saw F9/11 Friday, too! And we saw Control Room Thursday night. And we went to the Pride Parade Saturday night. It was a liberal-fest weekend!
    I knew about most of what was shown in F9/11 ahead of time, but I was really touched by the very beginning, watching all the black congresspeople (including my own) being let down by the ENTIRE Senate. It was really a disgraceful day for democracy, and I thought the way MM presented it was really powerful.
