The Daily Dot

I received this, and was at first confused. After Tweeting about it, I realized it was a Klout perk. Hhhmm, a physical newspaper about the Web? I mean, I get mad when people offer to lend me a book and it's not in Kindle form, I can't imagine a newspaper about the web would do very well. 

They do have an online version, too. 

Tom Cruise-ish?

We met this guy (and his friend) at Belltown Pub. They were in town from Boston, or somewhere out east. This guy kind of looked like Tom Cruise, though in this picture, he doesn't. 

Also, it is funny that I am holding a beer, because I am not drinking right now. I think belonged to the person taking the photo. 

Terry

Terry is a man that lives in the Seattle Mental Health building, behind my apartment complex (man, we have so many problems with that Kasota building.) He can often be found in our alley, drinking beer and fighting with himself. Well, when walking to work - I spotted him in Pioneer Square!

I did take a video of him last year, to show my neighbor what he was currently doing. Basically, I think he was in his own version of Fight Club.

Tequila!

It was girls night out, but our guy friends at the bar offered us a round of tequila. I actually passed on it. Tuesday night and tequila just did not seem like a good plan. 

12AM Awards

Obviously, if this is my view, I'm not there. 

Sunday Funday

You have to watch out for Sunday. April and I were supposed to go sailing, but the weather was not cooperating, so we all got drunk instead. Then, we went back to Brandon and Laura's house where we all had a nap (Brandon, Laura, April and I) in the living room, while watching Clueless. Ah, family.

Oh, this pic is Laura and Tucker. 

And This is Why You're Fat

Brandon, Laura and I received free tickets for the Puyallup Fair, so we decided to check it out. I had not been to a huge state fair in over 15 years, so I had forgotten what type of people go to the fair. Yeah, it was interesting. But one of those most ridiculous things we came across was Deep Fried Butter. Well, we had to try it. 

Deep Fried Butter is exactly what you think it might be. Rolled balls of butter, rolled in batter and deep fried. The batter was sweet and they dough balls were topped with cinnamon, sugar and a glaze. I opened my dough ball and let the chunk of butter drop out, but it was actually pretty good. Though, I admit, after I felt gross. 

New Bed for Kitty?

April's cat, Nala, must know that I am allergic to her. Instead of cuddling up to me, she cuddled up in my bag. Go figure.

Green Thumb?

This year I decided to grow tomatoes. It kind of worked. Here are the two tomatos that are ripe. I have a few more forming, we'll see if they make it. 

Bonus pic:

I went to this horrible event tonight, that one might try to call a fashion show? The girls (April, Marissa, Laura and I) won tickets and we thought it would be fun... but... not so much. It was poorly organized (we arrived late and still had to wait, they didn't have 2 of us on their guest list, even though we were on it, no direction on where it was OK and where it wasn't OK to sit, etc.) Also, it was at iMusic, which is a venue that is... well, less than desirable. Here is a pic from the "Avante Guarde" portion, which really just meant, um, well, you decide for yourself. Though, I'm sure the local kiss ass bloggers will rave about this event. 

Blood Sucking Vampires

PayScale had a blood drive and I did my part by donating a pint. I drank a ton of water (you know I researched on the net what to do before) and it went by really fast. I felt fine, sat up too fast and got super light headed, very quickly. 

Crosswalk

Eh, some days I end up on the 358 bus to work, which means I have to cross the street. It does give me a nice view but today I took this pic, who knows why. 

The Album Leaf

Heidi and Jose had tickets to see The Album Leaf at the Croc, but Jose couldn't make it so I went with Heidi. I was pleasantly surprised, having never listened to them before. Now they rotate in my Spotify list. 

Technically this show was on the 18th, but this pic was taken after midnight and I wanted to include it because it was awesome.

Game Day Ice!

Randall and Erin had people over for the Lions game, and they found this ridiculous beer at Grocery Outlet and had to buy it for the occasion. It tasted... sweet... to say the least.

And, yes, the Lions won!

7 Deadly Wing Challenge

April and Brandon are freaking champs. They ate 7 of the Wing Dome's deadly wings, in 7 minutes. Feleke and I tried to do it, too, but failed. 

This is what they had to eat, and the lettuce, too. 

We have a video, too, but April won't let me post it until she edits it. 

Safeco Detour

This is what happens when you either hop on the wrong bus or get so engrossed in your Kindle that you miss your stop (not sure what happened.) Either way, I ended up walking a few extra blocks on a nice day.
