This is what happens when your phone dies

You find out the only picture you took that day was of spicy garlic chicken from Kushi, without the flash.

French Press

April and I went to Local 360 for lunch, after we took a super long walk along the waterfront and through Queen Anne.

Champagne, not just for celebrations

Jonathan and I, popping bottles at the Del Rey. You know how it is ;)

Stylus

I love Stylus so much. Today I did a cut, color and Featherlocks extensions, yes literally feather hair extensions. Here is a pic of me getting prepped for the extension.

Eye Envy

We were at Bathtub Gin last night and somehow this happened.

New Day NW

This is a picture of Chef Kate from Pintxo with the producer from New Day Northwest, a local talk show on King 5. Pintxo had a demo cooking segment this morning and I went along to, you know, do my job.

Accidental Photo

I love when I accidentally take photos with my phone. I love it even more when they are of something other than the inside of my purse. I was waiting for Karianne last night outside of Mama's (it was after closing time, so the door was locked) and watching the street people do their drug dance (you can see some of them in the background.)

Anyway, when looking through photos to post, I found this one! In the foreground, the Virgin Mary statue, background is our famous Belltown cross street, 2nd and Bell.

Crows Nest

.

I was walking down 2nd Ave, at Wall Street, and noticed this lonely birds nest in the tree. We have crazy crows downtown, but this nest kind of reminded me of spring and excited me for the changing season, even though it's about three months away.

Michigan Friends!

My friend Stephanie was in town for the Twilight conference (yes, I didn't know there was such a thing either) and called me to meet up and say hello. Steph and I are old friends, we met over ten years ago while working for the same retail store at Twelve Oaks Mall. She and I also attended the first Bonnaroo together, which ultimately made a huge impact on the rest of my life.

This is a pic of us at Bedlam, in Belltown. I love when old friends visit and loved seeing Stephanie today!

Popping Bottles

Mr. F called Jonathan and me and told us to get our butts to Pesos in Queen Anne. When we arrived, he was gone! We decided to have a drink and met Alex. She was pretty awesome and was dressed in a "Papa Don't Preach" outfit, as she dresses as a theme when going out. But, she showed us her purse and look what she had hidden!

Also, random... I ran into Michael & Eric at Pesos, two people I had met earlier that night at Black Bottle, as they are a friend and brother in law to Judson.

Happy Birthday, Mr. F!

It's Mr. F's official birthday, and we're out celebrating! Marissa & Chris showed up in their PJs, even! This was taken at the Upstairs, and obviously, we are having a good time ;)

Birthday Boy

I took a lot of pictures last night but this one was my favorite by far. You have birthday boy, Feleke (aka, Mr. F), and Will (aka, Toe.) We were celebrating Feleke's birthday at Kushi last night, and celebrating hard, as you can tell from this pic.

Why settle for a pitcher?

I went with Jesse to visit Kyle, who tends to the bar at Skybox Sports in Queen Anne. Um, they have personal kegs!! Not only do you look ridiculous and hardcore drinking from your own keg, but it's nice to refill your own beers and the ice keeps it chilled. It's not really that expensive either, I think it was $34ish for 2 pitchers of Hef.

This brings me back to the days of O'Tooles in Novi, MI (and other locations they have) where we would always order one of these for the table.

Mounted Patrol

I love seeing the Mounted Police unit patrol Belltown. I especially like the cape on the uniform, it reminds me of old b & w pictures I used to see of Detroit in the 1920's.

I think the Mounted Units are great for the neighborhood because they encourage conversation between officers and residents, plus petting horses is fun! They are in jeopardy of losing funding, however. Here is how to help: http://saveourhorses.net/

Geekiest Shower Curtain Ever.

This was taken late night, but technically today since it was after midnight ;)

I had to walk Will home, as he had a bit too much to drink and I was not letting him walk home alone. After I peeled him off his couch, threw him in his bed, took his shoes off it was time for me to relieve my bladder, as I also had a lot of tasty beverages.

Well, as I was peeing, I saw this little curtain of irony. As I snapped a picture of Will's shower curtain, I chuckled. It makes total sense that Will has this shower curtain, as he is a very geeky (but super fun) MSFT geek.

Though, I must say I take solace in knowing that if Will ever has an issue sharing his feelings, he can always consult with his trusty shower curtain.
