wednesday.

I forgot that I hadn't blogged about this. Jessica had this picture, so I didn't even realize I missed it. This, dear friends is the World's First Starbucks. This is one of those things that everyone must do in Seattle, or I think so at least. There was a long line, but it was still fun, and the baristas have great personalities! They yell, joke around, throw cups... it was fun, and SUPER fast. Like seriously, they made our drinks in two minutes.

I know, I know, I'm not even done posting about Seattle and you're ready to hear about NYC. It's coming I assure you.

Side note: My posts from the 12th that blogger 'lost' are back up. Here and Here

St. Patty's Day 2011 (Thursday evening that I was in Seattle)- a wonderful evening. We went to an Irish Pub-a can't remember the name, got in sans cover charge-thank you random bouncer lady, and had a green shot. Later that night we went to another restuarant/bar to get pizza. This pizza was the best I've ever had... the girls shared a vegetarian pizza, with mushrooms and spinach, while I mooched off the guys and ate some meat lovers!!

anyways... hope your week is going swell.
happy humpday.

Seattle: 2

This is from day one as well. First thing we did Thusday when we got downtown was go to the Seattle Art Museum. Hands down my favorite thing we did while we were there. I think we could have stayed there all day, but there really just wasn't the time. They had a wonderful permanent collection as well as an excellent special exhibit. Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth was the name of the special exhibit. It was incredible. Like nothing I've ever seen before. He makes these suits out of completely random materials: wood, lace,  sweaters, you name it, it was on a suit. Then there were also some video installations that went along with all the suits. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen. I ended up buying his BIG coffee table book for my, well, coffee table. Seriously incredible. The SAM is a must-see if you're visiting Seattle. It's also very reasonably priced, $15 for a day pass, you can come and go, and that also gets you admission to their sister museum, or other branch (It's Asian Art, I believe).

I just like this picture.. It's from the park that we ate our Poroshy's at. This tree is just so pretty and it actually has a red heart right on the front of it. I don't generally frame my own pictures... but this might just be an exception.

If you didn't get to read the first post about Seattle it's right here.

Seattle: Post 1

Ok, here's what I'm going to do... Every week, at least once, maybe more, I'm going to post a little bit about my trip to Seattle. It won't be in order and it might not be interesting. BUUUT it's my blog and I will do what I want to. For the first post we have March 17th. This isn't the entire day... just a few parts. And there is no cool pictures of anything interesting, unless you count Jessica, Tamura, and I as interesting... which I do!

This particular day was our first day in Seattle. Tamura made us a handrawn map (which was very cool and helpful), told us how to ride the bus to downtown and sent us on our way. We did several cool things this day, but I'm not saying exactly what just yet. So for today, all you get is some pictures.

This is me and Jess eat our Poroshky's (spelling?) at a lookout point. Apparently this particular place has totem poles left from the Indians (I didn't see them, but Tam and Jess don't typically lie, so I'm probably oblivious - wouldn't be the first time). It was a cool place, to look out over the sound, there were tables to eat on, etc. There were also street vendors nearby as well. Very eclectic place.

Obvi, this sequence of pictures was all taken at the same time, later in the day from the Poroshky's picture. We met up with Tamura after she got off, did some shopping at H&M, then went to this cool little bar for happy hour. Seriously, Seattle-lites know how happy hour is done. All three of us ate for 14 bucks, and we each had a beer for 10.50. So three meals + three beers = 24.50. The food was really good too!! So after dinner we were walking around, or back to the bus - I don't know, and found another excellent lookout. Naturally, we stopped to take pictures because the night was clear, the sound was gorgeous. Unfortunately without a tripod, there was no way my camera was going to capture the true beauty... so we improvised and just took pictures of each other. Eventually the self timer came to mind, then we all got in!! 

**Disclaimer: this picture need to be edited, but I was just too excited to start posting. Don't judge me.

I'M BACK!!!

bills, jobs, and the real world beckon...

I do have this little gem though to brighten the day. I haven't even began to sort through/develop/upload pictures yet. However, I do have this from out trip to the Needle. I had some seriously fun times with this girl. and Tamura. and Tamura's wonderful friends.

I love how we took the sunshine to Seattle, the weather was beautiful pretty much the entire time we were there. Apparently, we brought back the overcast skies... I did miss the warm weather while we were gone. I put shorts on the minute I walked in the door.

More pictures and stories to come soon!! Have a wonderful Monday!

this time tomorrow...

....I will be on a flight to Seattle!

There might even be some of this in the airport when I see Tam...

(Yes, I'm fist pumping in my office)
