On Vox: ho hum

I woke up a little early yesterday and went for a walk. It was a super gorgeous day but I got dehydrated almost immediately, so I came back for water. Then I decided water wasn't cutting it, so I grabbed some cash, my backpack, then headed to Safeway. Bought quite a bit of liquids, and apples. It was kind of heavy to carry home, but at least I removed my jacket first. Still pretty sweaty by the time I returned. Jaysus.

Anyway I then put the bread that had been rising in the oven, and then Kim texted Reg, who was still asleep, so I took the liberty of responding to her. She came by just a little after the bread was done, and I forced Reg awake. We sat around reading for a bit, then walked to the drugstore, then to the Ballard Commons to sit and read on the benches (grass was wet from the previous day's rainshower). I grew cold as the wind and cloud cover increased, so we headed back, and I started on dinner.

Very simple and American: Steak and potatoes. I cut up 6 red potatoes, tossed with herbs/spices/salt/pepper and olive oil, baked at 375 for an hour. Steak was fried in butter and coriander on the stove (I like coriander) till it was pink in the middle. Of course all this was waay too much food for three people, so I have decent leftovers now.

Kim left after dinner and Reg put on Lucky Number Slevin. The preview I had seen misled me into believing it would be like Snatch, crime comedy sorta thing, but it was a little more dark and serious. Still good though. AND THERE IS A TWIST. Afterwards I read The Great Train Robbery and re-dyed my hair.
