My Daily Pic

City Skyline

2011-10-19T17:16:00.000-07:00

Walking to work, crossing 4th Ave and I get a nice view of the skyline from the south. And apparently, this was my picture today.

Scum of the Earth

2011-10-18T16:35:00.000-07:00

April and Chris went with me to my co-workers play, OK.luv, in the U District. Before the show we walked to a bar down the street for a shot and a beer. On the way, we found this Scum of the Earth sign. April and Chris did not approve.

Seattle Quilt Mfg. Co.

2011-10-17T10:41:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I use the 1st and Jackson bus stop on my way home from work. Today the sun was hitting the Seattle Quilt building just right, where it looked like it was glowing.

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

2011-10-16T10:26:00.000-07:00

The Hi-Life in Ballard has a Sunday family style fried chicken dinner every week. A big group of us went to check it out and it was pretty good. We all left so stuffed, with left-overs. Also, I don't eat fried chicken skin, so my dining partners seemed to get pretty excited by that.

Oyster Shooters

2011-10-15T10:06:00.000-07:00

My friend Chris and I went to Elliott's for oysters before his show and loaded up on oysters. Delicious.

Seattle Sky

2011-10-14T00:06:00.000-07:00

Space Needle sky. I know you have seen this view a million times before, but the sky is so pretty. I shot this right before heading to Ballard to meet G.

How I Watch My Detroit Tigers

2011-10-13T23:52:00.000-07:00

This is how I watch the Tigers when I am at work in Seattle. When games start early in Detroit, they are really early in Seattle. And, thank you Justin Verlander... now we're only down by one game.

Chris Checking In

2011-10-12T14:34:00.000-07:00

Belltown Pub had a Google Places event tonight. Chris is practicing checking in on Google Latitude, or maybe actually doing it, who knows. Also, I walked out on my tab tonight - worse, I was completely sober.

Southern Sky

2011-10-11T14:28:00.000-07:00

I was walking across 4th Ave S towards work, and saw the sky. I loved the crazy cloud formation.

Ski-ball Champ

2011-10-10T14:15:00.000-07:00

The Rabbit Hole has ski-ball, and I'm pretty good at it. I always shoot for the 50, rather than go for the 100, which means I consistently hit 30s and 40s. I played with a new friend today that I met at a Lions meetup and he's from the West side of Michigan, random.

Alley Needles

2011-10-09T13:48:00.000-07:00

Gus and I went to brunch and then shopping. On our way out of my apartment building (through the alley entrance) we found this fun gem. Luckily we have CleanScapes, and I did call them, but it may have taken a little while for them to come get it because upon returning, it was still there. If only we had a MID or BID in Belltown...

Free Protein

2011-10-07T18:04:00.000-07:00

Uwajimaya is very close to my work, so I often run there to grab a bite on days where I did not bring lunch. They have fresh salads, and I mean really fresh salads. I got to the bottom of my salad and then found a new friend. He was still alive and scurrying around. I know eating a bug won't really hurt you, but I cannot bring myself to get a salad from there ever again.

First Time at Five Guys

2011-10-06T17:28:00.000-07:00

Everyone raves about Five Guys, but I was not that impressed. I went to the one in Northgate, and it was just, eh.

It did remind me of this place back home, Bates. They were the BEST hangover cure. I do sometimes miss Bates' Burgers, and their grilled cheese, too. I'd love a franchise out here in Seattle, but I am guessing that's wishful thinking.

Franchise Dessert

2011-10-05T17:18:00.000-07:00

April and I were downtown, shopping, running errands, etc, and we wanted to grab some food. I am not sure how we ended up at P.F. Chang's, but it was a franchise restaurant type of day. We sat at the bar and had a good time talking to the bartenders, too.

So, this is the dessert we shared, and I have to say, it was pretty decent.

Hola Jose!

2011-10-04T17:17:00.000-07:00

I was riding the bus to work, I looked to my right and saw Jose. He actually saw me, too. We so live in this micro-world.

Free Beer

2011-10-03T17:09:00.000-07:00

Considering the normal signs we receive in the elevator, this was a nice refresher. You can read more about it here.

Super Ballet

2011-10-02T17:06:00.000-07:00

Apparently, the only way to do Vegas is to do it "Super Ballet."

Also, I HATE that Android doesn't allow for screen shots unless you root.

Post Tequila Shots

2011-10-01T16:55:00.000-07:00

Our group was out celebrating Brandon's birthday. Shots were had at Kushi. Tequila, of course.

The Daily Dot

2011-09-30T16:52:00.000-07:00

I received this, and was at first confused. After Tweeting about it, I realized it was a Klout perk. Hhhmm, a physical newspaper about the Web? I mean, I get mad when people offer to lend me a book and it's not in Kindle form, I can't imagine a newspaper about the web would do very well.

They do have an online version, too.

Tom Cruise-ish?

2011-09-29T16:45:00.000-07:00

We met this guy (and his friend) at Belltown Pub. They were in town from Boston, or somewhere out east. This guy kind of looked like Tom Cruise, though in this picture, he doesn't.

Also, it is funny that I am holding a beer, because I am not drinking right now. I think belonged to the person taking the photo.

Terry

2011-09-28T14:39:00.000-07:00

Terry is a man that lives in the Seattle Mental Health building, behind my apartment complex (man, we have so many problems with that Kasota building.) He can often be found in our alley, drinking beer and fighting with himself. Well, when walking to work - I spotted him in Pioneer Square!

I did take a video of him last year, to show my neighbor what he was currently doing. Basically, I think he was in his own version of Fight Club.

Tequila!

2011-09-27T00:10:00.000-07:00

It was girls night out, but our guy friends at the bar offered us a round of tequila. I actually passed on it. Tuesday night and tequila just did not seem like a good plan.

12AM Awards

2011-09-26T00:07:00.000-07:00

Obviously, if this is my view, I'm not there.

Sunday Funday

2011-09-25T23:49:00.000-07:00

You have to watch out for Sunday. April and I were supposed to go sailing, but the weather was not cooperating, so we all got drunk instead. Then, we went back to Brandon and Laura's house where we all had a nap (Brandon, Laura, April and I) in the living room, while watching Clueless. Ah, family.

Oh, this pic is Laura and Tucker.

And This is Why You're Fat

2011-09-24T23:41:00.000-07:00

Brandon, Laura and I received free tickets for the Puyallup Fair, so we decided to check it out. I had not been to a huge state fair in over 15 years, so I had forgotten what type of people go to the fair. Yeah, it was interesting. But one of those most ridiculous things we came across was Deep Fried Butter. Well, we had to try it.

Deep Fried Butter is exactly what you think it might be. Rolled balls of butter, rolled in batter and deep fried. The batter was sweet and they dough balls were topped with cinnamon, sugar and a glaze. I opened my dough ball and let the chunk of butter drop out, but it was actually pretty good. Though, I admit, after I felt gross.
