After a fashion, you could imagine the place was telling you to fuck off.
Go on then, so you think you can do better? The walls cave in, destroy your art books, ruin your fancy pasta, as has happened everywhere you’ve ever lived. And this time is different how?
So you leave one city for another.
Now you don’t have a steady job but you smell trees wherever you go. Even the trash here smells like the woods, it doesn’t rain all the time, and out your kitchen window the antenna towers of Queen Anne blink like festive twins. Why did no one tell me about the big fake tree of lights that gets planted atop the Space Needle?
Snow is expected Thursday night.
If your apartment begins bleeding dirty water, beware, you could end up in Seattle, freezing, happy.

The invention of an instrument so cool that it needn’t be played: a panacea to lazy youths everywhere.  No one’ll even care if you can only play the opening bars to “About a Girl.”

Can someone please explain why this photo was my most viewed image on flickr this week?  Or are you all just Muppets?  Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

If I had a private practice, I’d call it Dr. Kicks, M.D.

Let us speak of this thing, cycling culture: 2007, near Lombard Street (the 2nd curviest, but more popular).

I know you got some work done, that you changed your name to something newer and more fashionable.  That the boys from out of town want to be seen with you; I can’t blame you for wanting to forget you were from the TL. 
But you will always be the Air Travel Hotel to me.

My 2007 pick for cocktail of the year.  Prior years were largely dominated by the Irish whiskey quadrant, briefly interrupted by a strong showing from Port and sundry after-dinner quaffs.
