maine

so, today, for fun, we went to maine.
i sometimes forget that i live ridiculous close to very small states. and maine is no exception. perfectly lovely and delightful.
portland, if one could guess, is a semi-touristy port town. people eat lobstah and can buy gorgeous jeweltry/furniture/artwork. there are many cute dogs. the weather was exceptional, as was the company. my delightful friend anna and her boy were camping near the area, so we met up, wandered around, ate lunch, and wandered around some more. and what is even better is that tomorrow is an additional day of freedom. fabulous.
max and i also finished 'eat your vegetables' kind of movie - that is, we watched a good movie that also happened to be good for us. its called Reds and it involved warren beatty and diane keaton. it was apparently nominated for 13 academy awards...in 1981. but, really it was quite good and regarded the bolshevik revolution. who wouldnt want to watch a movie about that!
tomorrow will be endless relaxation, or insane cleaning caused by my nesting insticts. i think the walls will probably get washed sometime before midnight.....
