The end of the world gets closer every day #2

Today, while out walking around my neighborhood, I came across the Benaroya Research Institute KIDS Seafair Triathlon. Like triathlons for grown-ups, this one came complete with medals, race numbers (both attached to shirts and written in magic markers on legs), sponsor booths, first aid tents, and more. In addition, in one corner of the park, there was somebody dressed in a fuzzy, purple suit dancing around to "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams. (Click on the photo above for a closer view.)

The end of the world gets closer every day #1

Friday, July 13, 2012 was EQC Girls Night Out at Safeco Field. In addition to watching the Seattle Mariners lose to the Texas Rangers 3-2, female fans had the opportunity to get manicures, massages, and various beauty treatments. (See photos above and below)

No word yet about when Boys Night Out will be taking place.

What I have been reading lately #21

I just finished reading P.D. James' novel The Children of Men.  It was like the recent movie in many ways (the world is slowly coming to an end because no one can have babies anymore, England is a police-state, etc.).  It was also different from the movie in many ways (really too many to mention).  I found the ending of the book to be creepy (in a good way, though).

The copy I read did not have the same cover as the edition I posted here.  I like the above-cover much better.  The version I read was a movie tie-in edition and had a picture of Clive Owen looking through a broken window.

Keep not believing!

The Arizona Cardinals (formerly of Phoenix, St. Louis, and Chicago) will be hosting the NFC Championship game next Sunday.
