dinner and a movie

What a fun couple of nights we have had! Last night we went to see Pirates if the Carribean. I loved it (mostly) until it ended and I realized that (of course) it was just another cog in Disney's money making machine! I hate movies that are just a set up for the next in line (unless it has a litterary reference). But over all, I can forgive the ending's not being able to hold it's own because the costumes and sets and props, and location was so darn great! I am hankerin' to go somewhere beautiful, tropical and nearly deserted. We ate Popcorn and a coke for dinner.
Tonight we visited with great friends over an excellent meal of buffalo roasted with a Santa Cruz rub, garlicy mashed potatoes, and sauteed green beans. We had Swantje's homemade icecream for dessert. She used macadamia nut's from her own tree (blast those squirells straight back to Hell, Girl!) which was a labor of love in it'sself. Everything was to increadibly good, wholesome and prepared with love.

Swantje and Larry are such neat people. Larry is an award winning glider piolot and financial adviser. He has recently grown his own set of mutton chops which he says he will suprise as many people as he knows and then shave off. I personally think he should keep them--how many financial advisors do you know with their own set of mutton chops!!!! Very distinguished.
Swantje loves nature and growing things, and she is a men's tailor. She is just such great fun to work with and to talk with. The two of them just got back from a month long camping-hiking-fishing road trip to SD. We saw photo's tonight, it looks like they had a great time.

I started working again for the opera company--subcontracted out to a choral company. I am working with Christine and Ralf. We have a great time talking and sewing. More black suits! More and more and more black suits!
