Huzzah! Huzzah! The Three Musketeers at the Seattle Rep was a blast. I love the story, anyway, but they did it in such a delightful, campy way that people in the audience even hissed at the Cardinal at the end of the play. It was so much fun! I'd go again if I had any time to do it. As it is, we're booked.
After the show we went to ROTI (http://www.rotirestaurantseattle.com/). It's a new Indian restaurant (well, new to me) on lower Queen Anne in Seattle, and it was fabulous. I tried some new things, and had Idli (I'm sure I spelled that incorrectly), which was devine! I can highly recommend their vindaloo, their fresh-made naan, and their matar paneer. Unfortunately, I can't remember the name of my favorite dish - the one I ordered, no less. It was B Gorsht, I think. Anyway, it was just the right kind of spicy, interesting and yummy!
Halloween prep is in full swing. I wasn't too much help last weekend. I have a pinched nerve that makes my arm ache, and seems to zap my strength. It was difficult to put my coat on, so you can imagine how hard it was to try and put up decorations. We are doing the garage a la Snape's potion class, with a twist.
We have smoking caldrons, and bookcases filled with jars of strange things (one lights up and has eyeballs that swoosh around), but we also have a mysterious black box with a feather on top. We have Harry's wand, that we'll give the kids to try "Wingardium Leviosa". If the kids are small, we'll raise the feather; if they're old enough, the lid of the box will open and a very scary skeleton bride will pop out (accompanied by a good scream, of course). We have the pully system up, the false walls up, one bookcase set up, and the special box prepped and painted, but there is still a lot to do. As you can tell, Halloween is a big deal for us.
I'm heading over on Thursday night so that I can help with the last minute set-up, and will work from there during the day on Friday. Then, it'll be time to put on the scare, hopefully with some friends who will come to celebrate the beginning of what promises to be an interesting holiday season...
The picture is the topper from my parents' wedding cake, circa 1936. We used it for one of our cakes when we were married this past summer.
