the rain in seattle goes mainly in the drain

I have joyfully located the transit center without getting horribly lost! tallin neglected to tell me it was on SOUTH Jackson, which exists, rather than Regular Jackson, which does not, at least not at 2nd Avenue. I have found a Wells-Fargo. (Note to self: Second and Marion.) Our apartment is about ten minutes walk from Seattle Pacific University, about half an hour from downtown or thereabouts on the bus, and a shortish bus ride from the U-District (which I assume means UW).

The new apartment is BEYOUTIFUL and very peachy on the outside and has cherry trees. It's a four building complex with hot tub and seasonal outdoor pool and in-unit laundry and a tiny balcony (or a balconetti, as tallin called it) and funny looking coat closet and a walk-in closet that's larger than a bedroom I had once, or at least as big. It has a beautiful view over the harbor, and I'm sure tallin is also very impressed with the view. :-D

Regrettably: the carpets are all white. Note to self: purchase steam cleaner. We didn't even bother with any other showings. My only regret is that our dining room table is too big, but that means I can haunt Craigslist and Ikea for cafe tables! Happy is me. Although I did wipe out and strain my ankle getting on a bus, tripping over the remnants of a bus stop sign. (really. the rest of the sign was leaning on a nearby telephone pole, I tripped over the stub of the sign. Argh.)

Yes, I am really that chatty and random and hyper now. I am. I also re-found the Crumpet Shop (which is near Pike Place Market) and had turkish food for lunch.

tallin is off signing his life away in Bellevue. I'm going to see if I can find my way to doubletake's house now, because I'm sick and tired of Michael Jackson. :-)

seaners' big adventure

Today, Seaners went to the Grocery Store and the UPS Store, and had car rides, and drank juice (did I mention I can't get him to drink juice? And he drank two huge glasses of black cherry/cranberry juice) and ate much food including custardy sweet potato muffins and corn chowder and homemade banana icecream. (He will eat none of these things for me, either. Until now.)

He is now completely sacked out on the bed.

So doubletake is a Hero of the Revolution (to borrow a term from the lovely kwalton.) And I had an exceptionally good dinner. :-D

Midi sword keytar. (hobbitblue will like this.)

Gory disturbing knitted art. I love it. :-D
