Brief update today, mostly because of how I spent my evening last night: I took myself to see the 7 p.m. showing of
Universal Language at the SIFF Film Forum at Seattle Center. It was the last evening of its run, and I'm glad I went—even though, as I note in the first couple of hours of the review, they didn't even open the doors until a few minutes after 7:00, evidently due to them waiting for someone to show up and run the projector. There was a few minutes there where I wondered if I'd have to give up and just go back home, and thankfully I waited it out.
I recently re-upped my SIFF membership which means I have a punch card for five free popcorns, only one of which has been used. I fully intended to use one last night, and brought a Cherry Cola Zevia Soda to have with it. But they opened so late, there were no concessions options. This worked out well for me anyway; I had also foregon the bagel with my orzo soup Shobhit made for dinner, thinking about the popcorn I was going to have. In the end, having had neither the bagel nor the popcorn, even with a bit of snacking at work yesterday—a broker sent me a package of a bunch of Louisville Veggie Jerky Co. samples and I had to restrain myself from just eating all of it—my weight was actually down half a pound this morning. It likely would have gone the other direction otherwise.

Anyway. With 7:00 being the only showtime, I took the Monorail + Light Rail to Capitol Hill Station and then walked the half mile home from there. That gave me a solid hour before I needed to leave again, and I went back the very same way: Light Rail + Monorail, since SIFF Film Center is at Seattle Center anyway.
I took the same route yet again when I came back after the movie ended. I might have taken the #8, which is more direct but actually not as quick (at least when the train departures align well, which they did, amazingly, last night after 9 p.m.), but there wasn't one scheduled for another 10 minutes. I rushed over to walk through the Armory at Seattle Center and to the Monorail station, where I hopped on that within a few minutes. When I got to Westlake Center and took the elevator down to Westlake Station, Light Rail came within just a few minutes as well.
I walked home from Capitol Hill Station for the second time that evening, took roughly an hour to write my review, and was in bed shortly thereafter.
