Day Off!

Went over to Newpark Mall with James, wandered about while he underwent his second laser treatment for the removal of his tattoo. I found a purse for my cousin's wedding on the 24th, I still have to go with my Mom to pick up a wedding gift for them though and I need to get my hair trimmed. James met up with me and we went over to Rasputin Music and each bought a copy of the new They Might Be Giants CD that was released today, "Spine." After that we went over to a Japanese restaurant at the Hub in Fremont and had lunch. While at the Hub James picked up a travel brochure on Scandinavia, we want to try to go next year. Tonight we're going to be visiting his best friend, Jason Butler and I believe the plan is to go swimming in his pool. James won't be able to join me in that though since he's supposed to keep his tattoo dry. I was sent a newsletter from Loreena McKennitt's website saying that she's in the developmental stages of her next release that is slated for coming out in the fall of 2005. I hope so, it's been a long time since "Book of Secrets" came out. It would be wonderful if she toured somewhere near here when it is released, James has been wanting to take me to a Loreena McKennitt concert for years, but she hasn't been doing any touring.

P.S. - Had a great time swimming at Jason Butler's house! We got there around seven and since he has a solar heated pool we waited until the sun went down to get in. In the meantime we ordered a pizza and watched "Butterfly Effect." Weird movie, interesting, but weird.
