Last weekend really made up for all the sitting around we did last weekend.

Friday Zac and I saw Slumdog Millionaire. I don’t know why this movie isn’t showing in more places than Bellevue and 1 theater in Seattle. It’s great! Of course everything works out in the end but it’s a great journey to see how the main character gets there. Go see this!

Saturday I took Zac to XXX Rootbeer in Issaquah since he had never been. I thought by getting their early we would avoid the tables of large families with noisy kids. No such luck L. But I think we were able to tune out the loud kids and have a good time.
Though, once we got back home, I discovered Waffle had been a bad girl.  I recently took all the pillow covers off of my Ikea couch and washed them, so they were all nice and white/cream. I’ve been putting a blanket on the couch to see if Waffle sits on it while I’m gone. I did this before we left for lunch. When we got home I found the blanket crumpled on the ground and the middle, back couch cushion on the ground! She somehow UNZIPPED the cover, removed the cushion inside, ripped a hole in it , and started removing the stuffing!! BAD GIRL!!! She got a very stern talking to.
I realize at this point that I need to get her a large crate to keep her in during the day. It breaks my heart to do it but I can’t have her chewing on stuff.

We headed over to Seattle after picking up the couch fluff and went to the Urban Craft Uprising. I’ve never got to go to this before. Zac was even looking forward to it. I ended up buying:
 a skein/cone of yarn from Yarnia.
A t-shirt from Spin Cycle Yarn. Their yarn is breathtaking! I was in awe of so many colors but couldn’t afford to get any at the moment.
the Skull a Day book by Noah Scalin. He was even around to sign it! I only found out about this site in the last month or so and had no idea he would be at the event. Such a coincidence.
Some skeleton hair clips from Spooky Mama Creations.

Zac ended up with a new jacket, some magnets, postcards, a gift for his mom, and some amazing art work. He even bought me a print that I’m totally going to frame soon. I love it!
Check out Berkley Illustrations (through that link). He is AMAZING! I will definetly be ordering more stuff from him.

There was just so much cool stuff I can’t list it all here. 

I also got to meet the author of Imps and Monsters. A few months ago I had bought 5 of this guys prints. I love his artwork!! Sadly I didn’t buy anything from his booth this time. Had I known he would be there I would have saved some money. But I tell him I was a huge fan and Zac backed me up.

We headed home to unload and get ready to meet some friends for pool. We went to Jillian’s. I had never been there before. It’s kind of like Game Works but with more pool tables and for adults only.  I really suck at pool so we played in teams so others could help me win.

Sunday we went to Lunchbox Lab since Zac will be gone for a few weeks and likes that place so much! Now, I’m a fan of bacon. I don’t keep kosher and grew up on bacon and pork. I’ve always thought you can’t go wrong with too much bacon on anything. That day I was wrong. My burger had so much bacon on it I had to pick some off and just focus on the beef. I felt SO BAD! How can I let good bacon go to waste. I’m sorry everyone, I was just too full.
We had some time to kill so we waddled around Ballard. Zac didn’t think Ballard was cool until I took him on a tour, lol. I took him to my favorite places like Gifted and Monster.

Luckily the Sunday market was still running, even though it was crappy weather out. I stumbled upon a booth for the store PunControllable. They were the creators of a t-shirt that I’ve been dying to own! It’s a stencil of Morrissey’s face and says “The Morrissey of you, the less I like you”. I found out about it from the Stranger’s auction in this year’s StrangerCrombie. I LOVE THIS SHIRT.

Afterwards I met some of Zac’s friends and we saw Quantum of Solace at the newly improved Cinerama (though I’ve never been to the old one). I’m not really a James Bond fan but I was able to follow along and still like the car chase scenes and on foot chase scenes. Daniel Craig isn’t bad to look at for 2 hours either.

So it was a very impulse buying filled weekend but i loved it.
