Randomness
I always forget about Seafair cause I never actually *go* all the way down there amongst the crazy ass drunk ppl and have no boat to chill on. I however, always like watching it on the tv, cause the views are best. Not so much good for the airshow, but an awesome view on the races with the overhead shots. Sometimes we get some of the planes and such over the house going to and from or practicing, which is always cool. Sometimes we even get the rumble of the hydros echoing down from the valley, since although Renton doesn't really have much, it DOES sit on the end of Lake Washington.
Went to Old Navy today with Mom. She found a cute jacket for me, (sometimes she's good at that) and I got a pinstripe vest to match my trousers. :-) Finally found the dumb stupid white zipper hoodie that I looked for (unsucessfully) in LA. Would have been useful there as a sun repellant. Oh well, guess I'll get use out of it at the Gorge.
Still haven't been doing well, but the biopsy and everything else came up negative so they can't really find anything wrong. The medicine makes me tired, so I try to go without it as much as possible. Have been having dizziness/ear issues, which happens just about every summer. :-/
Been working on room, and since the cool bamboo blinds ended up being SEE THROUGH (thank you no, NOT in my bedroom that faces the road) I got cool silver blinds from Ikea that mom helped me put up. Da, in her infinite talent, has already managed to break one. Am tempted to take it down to fix it.
Taking a 3 week position doing data entry on a project with Microsoft. Not ideal, and definitely not what I'd want to do for forever, but for 3 weeks, sure. We'll see how well I survive while sick.
Discovered a new tv show-- NCIS. Have been trying to download.

Mom and I are amused by measuring the BIG pumpkin every couple days. So far it's about 22" by 40". Not bad. There's 4 'survivors', and I'm too lazy to name them. #2 is getting bigger-- about 15" by 30". The other 2 aren't even as big as a pummelo yet. The tomatoes are starting to ripen, and they make good snack food. I pulled the green beans and reaplanted the pea plants just as a an experiment. Might replant the green beans too. Not expecting anything, but hey, might as well try. Basil sprouts not exactly doing much... :-/ Zucchini has been doing well and has made multiple loaves of bread. :-)
