The DDC Acquatic

March 13, 2005

Caught some supper at Hodda's on Belmont tonight with Fred Green. I had the chicked kabab over a bed of rice with garlic sauce. Hubba hubba.Then we cruised by the Laurelhurst Theater and saw "The Life Aquatic" was due to start in a couple minutes. We parked and were in our seats in no time. Three bucks admission.- - - -Well, we were expecting a lot. Of course, the wit, the type, the overall visual radness won us over, but, man, it was hard to stay "into it." Visually, I "couldn't get enough." I loved the desaturated blues and yellows and little hits of red. Perfect. The sets were amazing. I have to watch it again just to savor all the little details on the walls of the ship and clothing logos and stuff. Always so well done in Wes Anderson ficks. But man, I couldn't wait for the thing to be done. Tired eyes, tired eyes.Visually stunning. Funny moments. Boring as shit, kind of.- - - -The weekend was good. Quality time with the little lady. Business with Brad from Coal. Laundry with DDC Travel Fallout Dept. Projects with trusting, eager clients. Sunday night guffaws with Fred.Bring on the Monday, you hosers.
