Bison and bald eagles and cougars, oh my
We went to the Northwest Trek today, which was awesome, despite the three days it took us to drive there. I'm up for pretty much any adventure which results in seeing baby bison. Or really baby anything. Plus a whole host of other cool creatures.

It comes down to this
J.R. and I went for a walk around Green Lake tonight -- he to take pictures, I to not sit on my ass watching TV. It was a beautiful night, and it was nice to be out among people. What I didn't expect, however, was what I felt watching the runners go by. I was jealous. I missed it. I was a little warm from the walking, but I'm pretty sure I didn't have a temperature. It may be time to really get back to it -- not just to get on the wagon, but to run around it.

Don't get burned
I've started watching Burn Notice -- just in time for the second season. I gotta say, I'm loving the summer start, especially since USA kicked it off with a first-season marathon, allowing me to catch up. I love the snarky lead character, played to perfection by Jeffrey Donovan (who I don't remember from the Pretender, but that was a while back). However, I don't really like Gabrielle Anwar, for a couple of reasons: it seems like she's done something horrific to her lips; the character isn't written that well; and despite the fact that they've ditched her Irish accent from the pilot, she still seems like she's talking funny. Bygones. Sharon Gless makes up for nearly everything.

And they call it robot love
We took the kids to see WALL-E tonight, and I have to admit, it was a damn good movie. It's not often robots can make me cry, but luckily I was prepared with extra napkins. As much as I enjoyed it, I actually don't have much to say about it. It was just a nice way to end a crappy day.

Just a blur
We went to the Storm/Sparks game last night, and it was glorious -- mostly because the Storm laid the beat down on the Sparks. And whilst I'm very happy that AJ is back on a team, I'm a little sad that it's the Sparks, my least favorite team in the WNBA, even though it has three former Lady Vols, including but not limited to Candace Parker. Bygones. I took a bunch of pictures during shoot-around, but they were pretty much all crap -- all that movement and no flash equals blur. That didn't keep me from uploading a few of them anyway.

Pimpin' my ride
I got the Saturn a shiny new battery tonight, and then she started! It was very exciting as I hadn't driven my baby car in nine months or so. You know, give or take. (Lessons learned: Do not garage the Saturn during the "winter." Do not leave car alarm armed during said "winter." Also, do not question battery man when he wants to put his hands in the engine.)
Going back to riding in Saturn style is going to be an adjustment from driving J.R.'s wee Beetle, but it will feel good to be myself again. Beetle Jen was just too precious for words, and it never really felt right jamming along with Em or Tool in that cute a car.

Nobody wants him
I finally saw Iron Man tonight, and I must admit, it was worth the wait. Gwyneth Paltrow didn't even ruin it for me, and she pretty much sucks the life out of most movies. Bygones. The point is, I was amazed that it was still playing at a theater near me. Initially, I had planned on roping J.R. into seeing Wanted or Hancock, but once we realized we still had the opportunity to see Robert Downey Jr. play a superhero, well, we were there. And it was awesome, though I think it needed slightly better music played slightly louder -- but really, that's my only criticism.

For a dreamer, night's the only time of day
I made J.R. watch Newsies with me and the kids last night. I hadn't seen it in years, but I still remembered every word and every scene. Probably because I saw that flick about 3,000 times when I was a teenager. What can I say? I loved Christian Bale. And I've always had a freakish fondness for musicals.
Which reminds me: J.R. hasn't been forced to endure Guys and Dolls yet, and I really want to see the new Batman movie (except for the creepy dead-Heath part).

And this is how much I miss you
Whilst reading Kate, the otherwise very meticulous author refers to a man who hails from Jamaica Plain, "a suburb of Boston." I'm telling you, people, my head almost spun off right there at the break room table. Suburb, my ass. And if you can't get that right, how I am supposed to believe you when you intimate that Hepburn was a lesbian? Well, okay, the man probably does have a point there. Bygones. It's a neighborhood of Boston, bitch! Damn.

It's after 11
And I still don't have anything to blog. Unless you count mainlining Friends Season 1 all weekend (when not attending Storm games, that is).
