in Seattle
May. 20th, 2012 01:00 amHaving fun hanging out with Carl, basically, though I probably shouldn't be taking him away from his actual homework so much. Also hanging out with Adam and Rehana a surprising amount because they live upstairs from Carl, and so last night when I heard them come in I burst into the hall like "hi guys!" so they came down to hang out here for a bit, and then tonight when we got home they invited us upstairs and we hung out there for a while.
But anyway, today we went to Chinook's for lunch, walking there, and on the way back we had a bunch of adventures, including running into the Ballard Bridge being raised, and then when we got to the corner of 22nd and Market, we ran into Carl's old boss or grandboss or whoever from Mayaviz/GD, Werner, who even I vaguely recognized since I think I interviewed there once too. And worse, they were both wearing t-shirts from old Viz products (Commotion?). After that we stopped in Bartell's and then walked by Zach's house to see what the current construction looks like. It's huge! I'm really curious to see the inside someday since right now it's like "I lived in this house for 2 years but I totally don't recognize it at all!"
We went to Rock Box so we could sing a ton of enka or something, though the discovery of the day was actually Carl finding a ton of Disney songs translated into Japanese, so we sang those together; that along with actually doing an Ishikawa Sayuri medley pretty much sums up the time. Then I called jweill, and Carl and I walked to Half Price Books, where I found a whole ton of D&D books that we'd been hoping to find in SF and bought too many of them, and then the three of us ended up at Oddfellows Cafe for dinner (it was pretty late by then). I had a porchetta sandwich which was tasty but way too fatty, go figure. Then we came home.
Carl points out that I never update LJ or G+ or anything like that because I've become a Facebook dweeb, so here you go.
