June Gloom.

i know a lot of people are struggling around here with the lost summer of 2010.  it's not bothering me that much.  i've just been too busy and too tired to care that Seattle hasn't turned from its usual curmudgeonly gloom into a milder version of California.  but at the same time i really want to get away; this feeling is confused between desire to vacation and desire to move.  which is it?  impossible to put my finger on.  maybe i'll skip the pride nonsense this weekend and go somewhere... no one is going to hit on me, nothing is going to happen because it never does.  except, oh wait, the weather will probably crap on the coast, where i really want to go.  well maybe summer will get started July 5, right on time, as the joke goes, and then i can get back to forgetting my boredom and loneliness.

in other news, my former residence next to the abandoned crack house has finally gotten some attention:

and my current residence is next to this lot, with all the flowers:
