That last episode of South Park was enough to make me laugh fairly hard. It was brought up in conversation prior to me watching it because of the shake weight portion. That segment was funny in itself and you couple that with my love of Food Network and it was a great episode. I have really enjoyed several episodes this season as it seems they have ( Read more... )

Today I got a later start than I wanted to. I had slept a few hours, was up a few hours, went back to sleep for a few hours, and then after being up for a bit again, napped for a little more. When I finally got out, I hopped a subway down to battery park, wondering if by a small chance I might run into the same girl I first met there 2 years ago. I ( Read more... )

One of the things about this city that I used to call home is how one takes it in ( Read more... )

Let's see, yesterday was lunch in midtown with my aunt and parents, before I headed over to the DMV. Since my parents sold the place up in Buffalo, I figured I might as well update my address on my license at the same time renew it since it would expire in 5 months anyway. I also needed a new photo for it since it still showed me when I was 19 on ( Read more... )

As different and same at the same time. Seattle is more preppie and into recycling everything etc and there is something familiar of the smell of trash and pollution. Taking a bus in Seattle doesn't give the same feel as speeding along underground in a subway that evoked memories the moment I started walking down the stairs. Lots of pretty girls in ( Read more... )

This morning was spent at the Harry Potter exhibit. Overall it was a good exhibit. Not great by far. Definitely more for the kids. I found the LotR exhibit at the Boston Museum of Science more fun and spread out. The HP exhibit rather funneled the crowd from room to room, with no real sequence. I would have maybe liked to see the progression of the ( Read more... )

Still enjoying my time in Seattle with my cousins. Sleeping pattern is still a bit off. Weather is getting chilly here so it is good to transition as I head east to NY in a few days ( Read more... )

Yesterday I slept in late since my schedule was still kind of thrown off from jet lag. In the afternoon, we (Helen, her mom, and myself) went down to Pike Place Market for a short bit of walking around. I had a peroshki which apparently is some kind of Russian pastry that comes in various flavours. We also walked by the first Starbucks store but it ( Read more... )

In the short time I've been here, I can describe it as preppie bohemian. Already after being picked up I've been to some dim sum, went to a Picasso exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum, had excellent Thai food, and gelato for dessert. I love hanging out with my family ( Read more... )

That song has been making random cameo appearances in my head the last few days. I popped awake early this morning with an odd dream about traveling and since I beat my alarm by about 15 minutes, I freaked out thinking I overslept my alarm and missed my flight. Then I also realized I needed my leave form from the duty NCO and to sign out at the ( Read more... )
