Relaxation

So the day before the Primary, we got to relax. It was niiiice. I caught up on some z's - which I desperately needed since I feel like I've been going non-stop since before I got here. Spent most of the morning lounging in bed. We had a quick meeting to go over logistics and details and then tried to figure out what to do with our afternoon. After agreeing that we needed a laid-back day, we decided on the IMAX and a local bookstore.

So we headed to the aquarium to go see "The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens" and "Ocean Oasis." Now I've been to the IMAX in NYC, which was a huge freakin' screen, but this was something entirely different. The seats were reclined to an almost lying down position. The screen was a domed scrim with an intense sound system.

And I felt pretty nausous for the first half of the first film. It was waaay too much stimulus for my eyes and mind at first, but then I started to get used to it. It was pretty cool and very informative as well.

We then headed to the independent bookstore and unfortunately, the coffee shop attached to it was closed, but it doesn't matter because it was a bookstore and anyone who knows me knows that I haven't met a bookstore I haven't liked yet.

The only exception to this rule is Walden Books and B. Dalton Books because as my friend Meggan once put it, "It's where books go to die." Now I'm usually an equal opportunity bookstore goer, but those chains pretty much should die out.

So anyway, we get there and I immediately have five books in my hand and have to choose very carefully. So I still end up spending a lot of cashish, but well worth it, I figure.

Yeah, that was pretty much my day. Came back to the hotel to do some laundry, which ended up taking about four hours. Neeeeat. But it was maybe the most relaxing day I've had in weeks, which is saying a lot since it happens so very not often enough on the campaign trail. So sorry if this isn't as riveting as my past posts (are they really that spectacular?), but I promised to keep a log and so I am. Blah.
