On the road again.
Seattle is — as expected — gorgeous. However, she outdid herself trying to live up to her press today: cold and drizzly all day long, which given the context of several phone calls I made back home to find that it was once again soaring into the 90s in the N.C. was kind of hilarious. I’m living in a neighborhood that’s lushly green and dotted with Craftsman style homes, beautiful quiet streets, and a distant view out into Capitol Hill; and not even the icy wind blowing through my window can bring me down. I took a long walk around the neighborhood today until the rain hit, and came back inside to watch NCIS and House and play with the dog, talk to my awesome roommate, and curl up under a quilt; it doesn’t feel like June, but I think I can live with that. Tomorrow’s goal? Acquire food. And also knock out another eight pages of Arc and post.

I don’t know if you have time/the ability to travel at all while you’re up there, but you should totally come down to Portland to see Powell’s Books if you have the opportunity. I also recommend Kinokuniya, the Japanese bookstore, though I believe the one in Seattle is larger than the one we have here. ^_^

good luck this summer. yes, i am alive. whatever. –_–;;; anyway, good luck, have fun, and are you having problems with your phone? i tried giving you a call the other day, but i got some automated message.
if you have time and feel like a bad kdrama: tree of heaven. there is no cancer, or amnesia(unless you count the kind that’s faked), but there is death by car accident. ^o^ it’s not too hideous, and half is japanese the other half is in korean. the korean subs are pretty good too. i can’t really speak for the japanese, but the korean is pretty accurate.

I’m so excited for you and your move! Hooray for getting settled in. Sadly, I am even farther from you in Seattle than when you were in NC, but if you decide you need a fix of summer weather and a margarita, come on down to Austin - we have plenty of both!
Hooray for Seattle!
(also, apologies if you get this comment 384792387x - your blog doesn’t like me as a commenter very much)

Yay! Seattle. And:
“And also knock out another eight pages of Arc and post.”
Yes! *Kisses…and backs away before she’s arrested*

Yeah, Seattle is like that (I’m in portland and our weather is just the same but completely different).
Because of the sound & lakes you get a lot of … Lake Effect weather.
Have fun and if I get up that way this year I’ll drop you a line. If not, my dau-in-law will be doing tarot readings at the hemp festival in August (23rd?) if you are still there.
