“I don’t complain when you practice your violin at 3 AM..”

Woke up kind of late this morning, hung around the house, made lunch; boyfriend picked me up and we dashed up to Lincoln Square to see the new Sherlock Holmes movie at 3:40– it sold out while we were waiting in line to buy tickets. UGH. Back home, we decided to forego the 7:00 and [...]

My love is like a red, red rose…

Foooood comaaaaa. On an intelligible note, watched Angels & Demons tonight; it was amusing, entertaining, not really worth $6 but it reminded me how much I want to see Rome.

Freaky Friday the 13th

I still can’t drive, so I was chauffeured up to campus for my graduate seminar at noon, too bad it was immediately cancelled so that students who so wished could attend a brown bag discussion on community involvement in environmental planning. Joy. Three hours to kill before class, no car to grab lunch/a nap, and [...]

“Why, she wouldn’t even harm a fly…”

Sooo it’s almost Halloween! Is that not reason enough to be super excited? Really? Well how about the fact that Levi and I got to go see Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho with the Seattle Symphony at Benaroya Hall! It was so unbelievably excellent! It was raining like WHOA when it was over, necessitating a midnight stop [...]

LET THE WILD RUMPUS START!

Class, faculty meeting (I was told not to bother applying to graduate school until I knew exactly what kind of career I want to pursue — as if any graduating senior knows what they’re doing – UGH!), more class, and then a FREE SCREENING of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE a whole TWO DAYS before [...]

And the secret ingredient is…!

BROCCOLI! Today was kind of crazy; covered a shift for a coworker from 9:30A-1:30P, ran home, took a bunch of pictures, brought Levi home and cooked a ridiculous dinner of Asian-style Lemon Chicken with Broccoli and Fried Rice– it was pretty epic, but we learned a few lessons too, like don’t cook with a wok [...]

“Only one is a wanderer; two together are always going somewhere”

It’s pumpkin season! These are Whole Foods amazingly organic pumpkins which are not only eco-friendly and organic but SUPER cheap (unlike practically everything else in the store…) Anyway, got a whole bunch of fabulous snacks (including Lesser Evil’s Black & White kettle corn – it’s delicious, go try it!) before dashing home only to dash [...]

‘Round and ’round and ’round in the circle game…

Today was pretty average; went out and were planning on seeing Paranormal Activity but didn’t. Anyway, I’m on my way home at 11:30PM and my gas light comes on under the Convention Center – fine, stressful, but fine. Oh wait, the I-90E / I-5S interchange is closed – detour directs you to the downtown express [...]

1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13… 100!

Whoo! Day 100! I know I’ve been falling behind a little bit lately – my apologies! – things are getting seriously crazy with school starting and it has been madness I tell you! Pictured above is the exterior back stairway of the University of Washington’s Architectural Hall – complete with a Fibonacci spiral inlaid into [...]

“Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things”

The second day of the quarter has come to a close; my first class today was at, oh, 4:30 pm – resent me all you want, it was GLORIOUS. I love my landscape architecture class and, as it turns out, instead of completing my independent study well, independently, I will be participating in the graduate [...]

“SIR, WHERE IS YOUR NECK?!”

Today was… crazy (in case you couldn’t tell by the really late post). Got up, moved the hydrangeas from the front patio into the ground, ran up to the Wells-Medina nursery (they’s SO fantastic there!) and bought container plants (to replace the aforementioned hydrangeas). Hopped in the shower and drove up to school for one [...]

Mm Mm Good!

I wish I could take responsibility for this culinary masterpiece (okay, I maybe exaggerating a little): thin gluten-free crust, pesto, mozzarella, feta, black olives and red onions. It has replaced pepperoni with ranch sauce. Hey, stop making that face – it’s delicious I tell you! Also, bought tickets to see Psycho at the Seattle Symphony [...]

Two paths diverged in a yellow wood…

And sorry I could not travel both. Slept in; basically spent all day sitting on the couch watching season two of Dexter while helping my mom labeling and stamping 700 postcards (that’s a LOT of postcards…) Looks like she’s gearing up for another vertigo attack, too :/ Otherwise, watched 10 Thing I Hate About You [...]

Here comes the sun

Today was kind of long; worked a princess shift (10-2), then came home and cleaned up before my fabulous skype date :) I’m just happy these days – it’s wonderful, such a lightness of being… Anyway, took a nap, made dinner and worked on my resume / cover letter before skipping out to see District [...]
