It's in the Post-Intelligencer!
Since I haven't posted in a while and I just got back from a Seattle/Vancouver trip I'll make this a long one. (It's mostly ranting.)
I got back from this trip in the wee hours of the morning because I had some bad luck at the airport...like I always do. First, I had a problem with that stupid fluids in 3 oz. containers rule, so I had to go back to get that bag checked, which was a waste of time. And later, after everyone on the flight got in the plane and sat around for a while, they told us there was a fuel leak. So we had to all get off of the plane and sit around some more. After a long time, they said there would be another plane coming later, and we could take that one. Of course, that plane was scheduled to arrive about 5 hours after we were *supposed* to depart. I spent pretty much the whole time reading the new Harry Potter book, staring into space, or complaining about how stupid this was. Anywho, we finally board this new plane for a damn red eye (which I've already unfortunately experienced) and actually manage to take off, land, and everything in between. Naturally, I didn't sleep at all. As luck would have it, once we landed, the jet way was encountering problems. I eventually made it off the plane, into the car, and home...where I finally slept. (That wasn't even the worst of my airline problems, too T_T)
Other than that, though, the trip was great! I love Seattle...last time I was there was three years ago. I really wanted to go up in the Space Needle, but I didn't :( (I've already been up there anyways) But I got to go to the aquarium and awesomeness like that. And Starbucks...like every other day...
One day I took a ferry over to Victoria Island. I like boats ^_^ They're my favorite form of transportation. I hate cars and planes because I can never find a way to entertain myself, but on that ferry I was perfectly content with just standing out there on the deck...weird. Hell, I should be a pirate. While I was in Victoria I went to the Royal British Columbia Museum. There was an IMAX there narrated by Johnny Depp and with music by Danny Elfman...you DON'T pass up an opportunity like that...I ended up not going T_T But I saw the Titanica one instead.
I also spent a couple nights in Vancouver. w00t, Canada! It was much awesomeness.
And now I'm here...*sigh*...kinda nice to be back, though.
Oh, yes, and congrats to Barry Bonds for breaking Hank Aaron's homerun record!
And yesterday was TheStrayDog's birthday...so...happy not-really-on-time birthday to you!
