Shobhit worked last night until 9:00, but I pretty easily kept myself busy—including at work. Between the weekly Office Lunch Meetup, the All Merchandising Team Meeting the hour directly following, and then the Seattle Architecture Foundation virtual event I attended between 4 and 5 p.m., I had three separate virtual events of one kind or another to attend yesterday.

The non-work architecture event was to learn about the Seattle Asian Art Museum renovation and expansion, which Alexia and I are now set to see in person when we visit the museum together on Saturday of Pride weekend. It's very modern and very cool, and I took a few photos of the screen during the presentation so I could reference them and maybe share with Alexia on the day we go. A lot of the new, expanded sections of the museum have floor to ceiling windows and sort of hang out over and partly into the park surrounding it, which I think will look very cool from inside.

After that, I finally watched another streaming movie for review, this one on Netflix: Hating Peter Tatchell, which provided lots of food for thought, which I think I reflected pretty well in my (nearly 1000-word) review. It was not long before Shobhit got home from work that I finished writing it, and it was not long after that when I went to bed.

I believe I have access to an advanced virtual screening of a movie through Shobhit's SAG-AFTRA membership tonight—I'll have to confirm with him whether I have access to a link. If so, then potentially this will be part of four nights or days in a row when I watch a movie at home for review; the Disney animated feature Raya and the Last Dragon is finally available on Disney+ tomorrow, and what might otherwise have been a blockbuster theater release The Tomorrow War releases on Amazon Prime Video this weekend.

I'm actually not sure I'll see any movie in a theater this week—perhaps not. But, I do have tickets booked for both Shobhit and me to see In the Heights on Friday next week, which I am very excited about.

That then kicks off four weeks in a row of either trips or holidays: anniversary trip with Shobhit to Portland Saturday-Monday June 12-14; annual trip to Wallace, Idaho just this year not with Shobhit but with Dad and Sherri instead, Friday-Monday June 18-21; Pride weekend Friday-Sunday June 25-27; Fourth of July weekend a week later. Probably not much to do for Independence Day; there won't be a city fireworks show for the second year in a row, and maybe we'll just go down to Danielle's in Renton again—just this time with the ability to actually hang out inside the house!

I've got nothing all that notable planned for August, but there is the probable Second Annual Family Vacation in September, plus a still-to-be-scheduled day at the Washington State Fair the same month with Gina and her friend Jennifer, which the three of us do every three years. And after that? October brings us right back into the holiday season again! Incredible how you can start setting your sights on events through the end of the year as early as June. I need to start thinking about what I want to dress up as on Halloween.
