post-Valentine's Day
Mario here:
Fellow Biting-Edger Jeanne posted what my writing space looks like over at the
League of Relunctant Adults. Among the many comments is that my space looks messy! Messy? It's a sign of genius.
Saw
PUSH. Interesting and better than I expected. The movie was shot in China so American audiences get an exotic setting. The premise is psychic espionage and they have a lot of cool innovations, some of which I wish I would've thought of, like sniffers. These guys take an item of yours and sniff it (no panties or bicycle seats), just things like toothbrushes, cups, or jewelry. They get psychic readings and can "see" what you've been doing. Awesome.
Last Monday I attended a
Tattered Cover signing of
Eli Gottlieb's paperback edition of his acclaimed novel,
Now You See Him. He's a local author and ranks a 9.6 on the swell guy index.
Who celebrated Valentine's Day the traditional way? Raise your hands. I spent mine volunteering at El Centro Su Teatro cooking food for 200+ folks who had come for dinner and the stage version of
Bless Me Ultima.
Then spent the rest of the evening washing dishes. Valentine's Day, woo-hoo!
Here's fellow volunteer Joan Garcia icing mini brownies (very traditional Mexican cuisine).
