Bits and Pieces

Serenity was way cool. Other people have reviewed it competently already. (Amusingly, my Mom liked Mr. Universe a lot, because she watches Numbers). I can't help wondering if the resolution is quite resolving enough, though.

Mom and Lew are visiting (and a fishing buddy). They reported that they found a barbecue place nearby named Barnaby's Barbecue, which was somewhat puzzling, because really, I should have heard of all the restaurants in Davis Square, at least. It turns out that Redbones says "Barnaby's" on their sign, which I had never noticed, but the waitress says is what they were called back in the 80s.

Carmen at the ART: still 100% for writhing on the floor! The singing was remarkable, the singing-while-writhing-on-floor physically impressive. The characters are pretty much goofs all around, but it's opera, I guess it's supposed to be in large strokes. And if it were subtle, the fact that it was all in French (with limited subtitles) might have made it harder to follow.

Last time my mom visited, there was an Easter Egg Hunt with a bunch of people over. This time there was Pinata-Hitting and Popovers with a bunch of people over. And a mob outing to Serenity. (And tea-and-scriptreading at desireearmfeldt's, but that wasn't quite as many people).

Seeing my life reflected via my parents watching it makes me think more about how full of people it is - normally, I just take that all for granted. It is all these people, far more than any of the stuff I have, that keeps me in what is pretty much a nearly constantly happy state. tirinian got it right two years ago: dearly beloved, all of you.

It's more of a KS: Meg thing. He was the boyfriend I didn't marry.
