phinnia: smiling dolphin face (boats against the current)

the rain in seattle goes mainly in the drain

I have joyfully located the transit center without getting horribly lost! [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

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

Sounds like a wonderful place. You should put up pictures :)

I was an airhead and forgot to take any, but I promise I will take some. :-)
