but it’s ironic (in an Alanis Morisette (sp?) kinda way) how I only have time to update this blog when I’ve been doing nothing, but then a week like this comes along and you get 0 posts despite there being so much news I don’t know where to start.

I’m off to bed…

I’m well impressed with Seattle. We had a gorgeous day yesterday and it weren’t raining or nuffink, you could see Mt Rainier and there was lots of atmosphere… we’ve been eating out, trying local microbrews and catching up with Liz and Josh. Hope the pictures turn out alright. You can probably safely skip the hidden Seattle underground tour, but everything else was grand. We’re going to grab some breakfast, go up the Space Needle then home (only 3 hrs drive) to relieve Sudarat of her Atticus-looking-after duties.

Even had Starbucks at 7am this morning for the full experience. Saludos!

I wish this thing would go faster.

I can’t stand to watch, but shall have to. It’s a worrying start (4.50pm Pacific)

A drop in the ocean

Sita was looking over her ballot forms last night and realised she had a ‘postal vote’. We tried ringing the council to find out what to do but it was closed. Turns out that everyone in Oregon gets a postal vote, so you can fill out the thing in the comfort of your own home, seal the envelope and drop it in a specially provided box down town. You don’t even have to wait till election day. Seems like a very good way of doing things to me.

I have to wonder if anyone got confused with the Ballet Center half a block away. I was about to head off there when I realised it was ‘et’ not ‘ot’.

Obviously, I hope to any deity listening that McCain-Palin are roundly sent packing and that the Califas Gay Marriage laws aren’t repealed. Shall be watching the Daily Show coverage and CNN this evening with DrSita, DrSudarat and DrMichelle. Here’s a post from 4 years ago. Jesse, as far as I know, is still a Massachusetts resident.

Drive-Thru Voting

I’m off to watch ‘democracy’ in action with DrSita in a mo…

Just saw this meme in Flash’s blog:

* Grab the nearest book.
* Open it to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the sentence in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

One question almost every dog owner asks is, “How do I keep my dog from jumping up on people?”

From Dog Training for Dummies. (page 56 was blank, this was 57)

Shall post more today…
