Seattle! How is it now? Are there jobs? Should I move there?

the bowties are horrible adorable

the bowties lend such an air of Barney Fife-ness, I want to check the shirt pockets for bullets. There is also a sort of '50s gas station attendant vibe in that Bothell photo.

Reasons 1-9 Why Not to Ride the Ferry in a Storm

urf!

WAU

I'm happy that windstorms are the form of the NW's most common natural weather disaster and not anything else (hurricanes, tornadoes, freezing rain, etc. Yes we get earthquakes but not regularly, at least yet.) because you just gotta know to keep batteries, water, some preserved foods, and sleep in a room away from a crotchety old evergreen outside your window. STILL, everyone knows to not do much of jackshit when a windstorm's sting hits. Fuck riding a ferry. Get a room somewhere instead. It's cheaper than sustaining up to a grand in car damages because of megaswells that knock it around.

Although as a passenger, that must be awesome in a vertigo-addict rickety roller coaster kinda way!

Riding a ferry is like washing a hat.

I offered these photos to the WS Ferry System, but they told me these kinds of shots don't promote ridership. I couldn't argue that one.

The SLUT gets a test ride

Oooo, shiny

No 50 ft. waves, no credibility.

Fremont Peak Park

that's a great little spot. the 5 bus that goes to my house stops right there.

Le bien, le mal.

The same day I finally get a new car, I find out that the reason my dog's been breathing funny is that he has a tumor in his nose and needs to be put down.

:(

There's no way it can be removed safely? It's not a benign tumor?

There's no way to pay to have that done. He wouldn't have lasted another week anyways without taking any action, he can barely breathe right now. He's lived well enough. He's a large breed and almost twelve years old. But, all the same...

i am sorry for you, reverend.

Oh Rev :( He's such a great dog, from all you were telling us about him. I'm so sorry.

man i'm sorry to hear that

oops

i am very sorry reverend.

i will change the subject if that isn't too gauche (still, thinking of u):

there is an AMAZING ballet on, one of the 4 'contemporary classics' pieces. i mean like holy shit good, each and every one of you should see it. it's called caught, it's about 8 minutes long, and it's about the best dance i've ever seen. and i've seen a good amount at this point. i can't recommend it highly enough. seriously people, come down and see it. i'll get you in, just let me know the day. SOOOOOOOOO worth your time.

Hey Rev. You got my number right? Let me know if you want to chat.

in the meantime, step back into history about a week or so and pretend you never lived here:

When you see a picture of this man:

What do you imagine this man is doing with his life? Who is he with?

Oh never mind. I just found this guy made NATIONAL NEWS. This won't work. fuck it.

Thanks for all the sympathy, people. Attila's gone now. His ashes will be spread around an orchard near Sultan.

Mackro: I don't think I do, email me.

Fucking hell, I just got laid off, and I have no money, cause I just spent it all on this damn car. I have $32. Fucking fucking fuck.

(It's a nice car, I'll look quite stylish as I drive around to job interviews on E.)

(Uh, E for "empty". I'm not in the habit of popping pills before meeting a potential employer.)

I still can't fucking believe this. Not my fucking week.

Rev, I sent you email via here. If that doesn't work, let me know and i'll get it via Jaq or jergins who whoever else might have it.

reverend. oh my goodness. at least this most horrible week is almost over, yeah?

Oh man, Rev :(

there is an AMAZING ballet on

YES THERE IS!

seattlists, seriously, you should take this opportunity to see some of the best contemporary ballet possible. cannot recommend highly enough.

there is an AMAZING ballet on

truly truly - first ballet I've ever seen and now I'm probably ruined for all others. Really stunning and affecting - esp. Kiss and Caught. I'm no fan of Philip Glass who scored the final one (In the Upper Room), but it was fun, full of tai chi and park joggers and fit shirtless guys and cheerleaders. Bits and pieces keep replaying in my head today.

I never thought about people knowing a ballet as well as I might know a symphony or someone else an opera - the idea never occurred - but so many of the audience obviously knew and were thrilled by the first piece (Agon), that the puzzle piece dropped into place in my understanding.

fuck this town

^^^This.

Why are we fucking this town?

fuck this state
the town was lame though.
and i don't want to talk about it until next week. I don't want to become sick again.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR REMINDING ME WHY I NEED TO LEAVE

I don't think anyone is going to vote for light rail until they see it happen in 2009. Then people will start supporting it.

I'm more upset about i-960 passing even if barely. hopefully it will be ruled unconstitutional like much of other Eyman's initiatives.
