My latest blog post... it's supposed to make you excited for fall!

Quoted: The days are getting shorter, there's a cool breeze in the air, and Seattle-ites are muttering the unmentionable: "I can't believe the summer's almost over." But you won't hear this bonafide fall-o-phile complain - well, not until winter.

My latest blog post, inspired by some dialogue that took place on Faves :)

Quoted: Seattle Newcomer Examiner - If I've learned something in the few years that I've lived in Seattle, it's that you can't ignore Seafair.

A public experiment that was better in theory than in practice: "In the end, the restrooms, installed in early 2004, had become so filthy, so overrun with drug abusers and prostitutes, that although use was free of charge, even some of the city’s most destitute people refused to step inside them."

Quoted: After spending $5 million, Seattle officials decided to close the city’s five automated public toilets, which had become filthy and costly.

My latest blog post...

Quoted: Seattle Newcomer Examiner - I'm feeling a little homesick. No one's flipped me the bird, tried to run me over, or openly rolled their eyes at me in a while. It's not that New Yorkers are rude - they're just more familiar (you know, total strangers sharing their medical histories and major failures).

Sad...

Quoted: Somewhere in heaven, there's a little Craftsman bungalow waiting for the arrival of Edith Macefield. And hopefully, this little house in the great beyond will not be boxed in by six-story walls of steel girders and concrete, the way Edith Macefield's home in Ballard was in the final years of the Ballard resident's life.

Whoa, no way! I hadn't heard about this shooting, talk about random. My dance class actually performed at Folklife...

Quoted: Sarah Thorsnes and her boyfriend are still feeling the pains of their gunshot wounds, are now out of work and are wondering what to do next. They were shot while enjoying the Folklife Festival three weeks ago.

Hello, this isn't even a new logo - it's the original one! Lame...

Quoted: Starbucks Corp. has a new, more revealing logo of its trademark mermaid. The logo has drawn a mixed response, and at least one group has called for a boycott.

Might be fun to check out Oktoberfest in Leavenworth...

Quoted: Oktoberfest in Leavenworth is the next best thing to being in Munich!
