(4 June 2003)

Today was fun, I bet I traveled so much in the Lloyd Center, it's such a nice mall. I do have to say for malls that it is a good place. A nice food court, 3 levels, and really compact...it actually feels more like an enclosed street rather than a suburban 6lo6 (blob) from space or carved from a mountain.

Today, we saw Finding Nemo, for my and JW's second time, and for everyone else's (ED, UN, and CR) first time. It is such a good movie. It cannot be surpassed on the list for a while.

It was another ho-hum day in Portland...nothing to complain about. I like those kinda days every once in a while.

Ed's mom had a potluck thingy for us, mostly SGI ppl there for us to be questioned by. It was ok though, they were all nice and didn't ask too many questions about SUA. It was nice for Sgi ppl, for once, to be interested in us and not the Sua life. Yay! The food was ah-may-zing. Yum. Ugh, was very full. Very Very Very full.

The most amazing thing happened after the extended dinner: Ed cleaned dishes! [:P] - hehehe. No, actually, what was more amazing was that a group of TV ppl descended on the D household and taped the dish-cleaning going on. There was insightful and astonishing commentary by Cr and Jw, with by-the-sink coverage by EH and of course a bit of Shakespeare by Ed's mom. It was a laugh riot!

Then (I think) we attempted to go into the Fun Center for the Rose Festival. That was a negatory, we got there about 20 mins b4 they closed the whole place down. That was a failed mission. However, we got to walk around Portland's City Center and view the sights. Which ended up being Pioneer Sq at night with the Budwieser Cydesdale Trucks parked in it. Eh, the clydesdales I've seen b4, so not much. But it was nice hanging out with Eh and all the rest of the gang.
