He Works Hard for the Money
So, my new job at Wasser Studios seems to be going well after the first week. I am bound to like my job much more at the end of next week, because that will be the first week I get paid (paychecks are always a week off). Read more [...]
Wet Sox (or Hey Look, it's Raining)
I don't mind walking, and I don't mind walking in the rain. I like the shoes I have right now (even though more than one person has called them bowling shoes... weather, rain, waterproof shoes, shoes, seattle, grumpy jon Read more [...]
Green, but Certainly Not Blue
I've been amazed at how beautiful it is here in Seattle, the colors in the sky, the greenery, the mountains, the water. You might have guessed that when I posted the sign that warns of sewage in the water during rain that maybe the water isn't so great. Read more [...]
The PC is Funny
Tonight I saw John Hodgman read at the Elliot Bay Book Co. The reading was part performance, which sounds like a dumb thing to say because what reading isn't, but what I am saying is that his reading was much more a performance than most readings. Read more [...]
I Tried Folks, I Tried

Best Sign
I doubt anyone is a stranger to homeless people sitting by the road with cardboard signs, but I saw a sign the other day that made me chuckle. I don't know how I feel about laughing at a homeless person's sign asking for money, but that seems like it was the point. Read more [...]
Yum & Yuck
Below Agua Verde is a paddle club where you can rent kayaks, at $15 an hour it seems worth it to be able to explore what looks like a pretty amazing seascape. I mean, look at how pretty the water looks on the surface, and yet beneath this seemingly pristine facade lies a terrible reality. Read more [...]
