Last weekend we went up to Seattle. I got to see the fish tossing and all of the "Singles"-esque of the city. I spent my entire teenage years wanting to move there, but once I got there I felt like it was a mess- a victim of poor city planning. I would never want to live outside the city because I have been to the suburbs and hated them. The main city was just lacking that spark I felt when I saw Portland for the first time. I guess I am saying I made the right choice. I will surley go back there and visit, but I learned that my car hates driving there, so the bus or the plane will be needed for next time.

Thursday night I had the pleasure of seeing Wrath of Khaaaaaaaaaan on the big screen. Few things are as fun as watching a film with people who are on the same page as you are, and are not afraid to express themselves. When the entire theater cheered in unison at the penultimate scene, I was the happiest camper that ever geeked out at the Laurelhurst.
The rest of the weekend was spent in preparation of our incoming carpet. We finished painting the upstairs and the downstairs hallway. There is something very cathartic about painting when you don’t care if it gets on the carpet! We are nearing the house being in “done” stage… I would say I am 70% comfortable with how it looks, and what I still know needs to be done, others wouldn’t pick up on. If only I knew where to get my hands on some giant vintage magic posters for cheap…..
