Or a long-ass post about my tiny trip (50 hours total). Right after I got back from Seattle, the election happened… So, it feels a little insensitive to post about goofing off when America has hit a new low of sadness and disunity. At the same time, it matters more than ever to hold onto […]
So right now, I’m going through a mild burnout. Family stuff, lingering homesickness, general fatigue from those 28-day work stretches. Last night, Sarah’s mom passed away- she was a tremendously kind woman and it’s a big loss. I dunno. I’m not facing an immediate crisis but I’ve been feeling low and nostalgic. It made me […]
My past year is split between Seattle and Athens with a gorgeous road trip sandwiched in between. Part I! Our last Seattle apartment was in Lower Queen Anne. Sometimes, I’d wake up a couple hours early and walk (rather than bus) Downtown to clear my head. There’s nothing quite like a walk through Olympic Sculpture […]
Kristy and I spent the earlier part of Saturday at the Seattle Aquarium. We had a delightful time with the sea mammals, fishies, and crustaceans. There’s something very calming about all the dark water and bright corals. Makes me want to take up diving. Seahorses and more seahorses! Meat coral. mmmmeat. Haha, when Kristy and […]
I love it all year round, but most of all coming into nicer weather. There’s no playground and it’s not the nicest place to picnic, but it’s a swell little park. I must’ve spent an extra half hour strolling around yesterday- I was so pleased to see all the flowers coming up. At last, spring […]
I am so sad that this store is closing in a couple days! Twice Sold Tales on the Ave has been a familiar marker for me since I moved out here. It’s a wonderfully unfussy place to browse through used books, with friendly employees and skulking cats. I will miss passing by on my way […]
Nate, Dave, James and I went for all three days. We spotted lots of Boba Fetts, ate out every day (we did Genki Sushi twice ‘cos they were doing $1 plates and are delicious!), sat in on lots of panels, and got to meet a lot of neat cartoonists/writers. Good times! I’m a little bit […]
James is in town for his annual visit. He flew in Thursday evening but there hasn’t been time to jot everything down so, I gotta start in the middle. We kicked off our Sunday with breakfast at Ipanema Grill, an all-you-can-eat Brazilian BBQ. We first went last year and had such a blast consuming endless […]
My weekend’s been crummy so far but it’s hard to be upset when the weather’s this nice. Dean and I have such an amazing view of the city from our living room! It really made me smile to wake up to this vivid, sunny morning- especially after a week of gray skies. It was brisk […]
One of my favorite things in Seattle is the Downtown library. I’m so lucky to live within walking distance! Besides the oodles of books, movies, and music I’ve borrowed, the library’s been my ideal hang out spot for all my projects. Dean looking extra-cute
