?Habla Espanol - Come See Jesus!

What? Was my first reaction upon seeing the flashing light sign for Hiatt Pontiac on our way from Parkland (Tacoma) heading back to Seattle after Tuesday's Derby practice. Come See Jesus? No, Michelle, Jesus - you know Hey-Zeus. I laughed out loud. That's pretty funny.

Derby and Film. That's all my life seems to be occupied with at this moment. Film because it's the Seattleinternationals Film Festival - still - for 2 more weekends. I'm having a great time volunteering, meeting some cool new people, getting to see some films. However, it took 6 films before I saw a 4 or better (out nof 5). I couldn't believe that the Seattle festival was so bad. I was perplexed - I even walked out of film after I turned to Annika and said, What's this about again? Finally, the series of animated shorts had me laughing and crying brilliant! Then a feature film Something Like Happiness from the Czech Republic was very good. I also came to realize that with my festival pass these past few years to the Cleveland International Film Festival I had a great amount of access. Someone could tell me - this is a great film! And I could dash in and see it. As a volunteer/buying my own tickets/without a pass, I have to plan better and hope to pick the good ones. I picked two. I'm sure I can do better.

And Derby. I've been practicing like a crazy fool these past two weeks. There are rumor of potential tryouts with the Seattle team which I would love to be on. I really like the Tacoma group - they're a great group of woman which I'm not sure I would have had such a great opportunity to get to know them - a ton of punkrocker moms, a military gal, some with kids some without - most withtattooss (myself included). And they're great - it's been so much fun. Skating is fun. And of course, with time, we're all getting so much better.

Which all leads to the things I've neglected in my life... mostly my blog and somehow I'm under the weather again. Hopefully it'll past by like this rain storm.
