… what a weekend! Post 1 of 2!

… okay okay okay, this will be a slightly chaotic post, so bear with me. omgoodness we did so much! I’ll highlight a couple of cool things that my gal and i did with friends, then you can review some fun pix of all the madness! K? k… here we go.

FIRST FEW PIX IN GALLERY: i have to first say that if you haven’t already seen the new Batman film, “The Dark Knight,” then… well, yer missing out on a really amazing film.  11 friends got together on Sat AM for a noontime showing of the movie at the Seattle IMAX theatre. it was my first experience viewing the 6 story screen. (80 feet wide! gulp!) and i must say that Batman was the film to “break me in” to the beauty of the IMAX experience. think crispy clear, hi resolution and SO clear that you can see the individual pores of the Joker’s face during the movie…

amazing. i will not ruin anything about the movie, but i will say that heath ledger’s amazing in his final performance, aaron eckhart is also incredible, christian bale rocks again as the caped crusader, and michael caine again plays the dutiful butler/conscience and medic beautifully. 

we all met around 9am for a tailgate breakfast out of the back of my SUV and a truck that had a real 110v plugin for Pancakes (batcakes!), waffles, egg sammiches, fruit, bacon & sausage and juices! omgawd it was alllll so good! Highlighted in the pix are some early arrivers helping prep, some “batcake” attempts, hilarious (and actually good) SPRAY ON pancake batter, and a heath ledger/joker smiley batcake that tasted soooo good.

MOTH PIX IN GALLERY: last week i also found a “batman of my own” in the form of a HUGE moth that was outside my office. cool pix below show it by my hand for comparison, then onna’ leaf to show some of it’s utter coolness! where did it come from? certainly not a washington state native. (i’m thinking it got caught in a trade wind from down south and got carried up to us!)

GRILL PIX IN GALLERY: my birthday this month earned me a new BBQ from my gal. (she is the bestest evah) charbroil ‘RED’ is the brand and model. we experienced the bestest steaks evah sunday night due to infrared cooking and searing-goodness. my mouth is watering even now recalling how juicy and perfectly cooked they were.

MYSTERY FOILAGE IN GALLERY: i have behbeh romas! i have tomatoes! omgoodness i’ve finally successfully grown tomatoes on my back porch. i’m obviously easily amused, but damn they’re gonna be good when they’re ready. we sure are (ta’ eat ‘em!)

soooo, what did all of you do this weekend?? ;)
