Another very indulgent day for me. I was up until almost 3:00 AM last night reading and listening to the Ramones so slept until 10:00 this morning. That's a habit I'll have to break soon (living on West Cost time). I skipped coffee and the paper at home and headed out to Eastern Market just for the ambiance. This is one of the things I have really missed about Capitol Hill - the weekend flea market and outdoor vegetable market. After a brief stop at Capitol Hill books (where I was careful not to buy anything since my 'to be read pile' is pretty high already) I walked the two miles to Chinatown to catch an early matinee at the Gallery Place multiplex - "District 9" - not perfect but very, very good sci-fi. Much better than average fare and intelligent to boot. On leaving the theater I split the difference and did the train half way home and got off at Capitol South to walk the last mile in the afternoon heat.
After taking out the recycling and garbage I have been doing the last few loads of laundry. K is due back from Indianapolis around 9:00 and we will have a late dinner. There are a couple of lamb chops thawing and some asparagus and other veggies in the fridge for grilling. We'll probably be up late getting caught up since we didn't talk much while she was gone and a lot is going on.
Oh yeah, and the first wave of shipped boxes arrive tomorrow. Joy. Now it will be unpacking, repacking, and storage. I can hardly wait.
