Larger than life and twice as natural
Jul. 27th, 2004 11:45 amYesterday, I got my first flat tire. I hit a street grate, and the tire was horribly and visibly deflated. Fortunately, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje's uncle Harry put the spare on for me, and I was able to drive to a place to get a replacement tire. I hope that never happens again. Now I'm kind of scared that everything will puncture my tires.
Speaking of Harry, he got a new puppy! He (the puppy) is a red dachshund. He's cute, but kind of aloof.
In the afternoon, Beth, her Uncle John, and I went out to King of Prussia Mall. We did some shopping, and ate at Bennigan's. I bought a little discounted book on world mythology at B. Dalton. I want some more of the Nintendo shirts from Hot Topic, but I didn't buy any. Those shirts are probably the best way to lure in new customers that Hot Topic has ever come up with.
Was having Radiohead playing on the stereo at the Sanrio store supposed to be ironic or humorously incongruous? It was probably just that someone working there liked them, but it made for somewhat of an amusing contrast.
Anyway, after shopping and eating, we saw Spider-Man 2 on IMAX. I'd seen IMAX films before, but just science-museum-type stuff about beavers and penguins and such. It was cool to see a big Hollywood blockbuster using that technology. Not that I think most of the crap that comes out of Hollywood would work on IMAX, but Spider-Man 2 worked quite well.
Last night, I had some weird dreams. I can't remember most of them, but I do know there was one where the country radio station played a cover of They Might Be Giants' "Kiss Me, Son Of God." In my waking life, I think a country arrangement of that song would probably work, but most of the mainstream country singers they play on the radio would probably be too conservative to cover a song with such a potentially controversial title.
