Gwendolyn's mom is in town. She arrived last night. Today, she, Gwen, Gwen's brother, and Gwen's brother's boyfriend (he's gay!), and I went out and got our fill of good old downtown Seattle. We started in the fish market, cruising around its many variety stands/shops and generally taking in the salty air of the fish-friendly place. We had some Thai for lunch and then continued walking downtown.
On a whim we went and saw "Kung Fu Hustle", which was absolutely amazing. It was an odd choice for the five of us to see, but with Gwen's brother lobbying intensely against "Kingdom of Heaven", it remained the only other feasible option. All five of us (with varying movie tastes to say the least) universally LOVED it, and I really can't recommend it highly enough. It was one of those precious few times where a movie comes out of nowhere (I really had NO idea what to expect) and goes above the call and delivers the goods beyond all expectations (and in a kung fu saturated market, no less!). It was incredible - hysterical, mesmerizing, very clever and oddly powerful. If you have the chance, go see it.
