this weekend in words and pictures
Today is Katie's birthday, fyi. Friday night we (katie, me, Erik, Andrea, Kitty, Lily, Jeff & Tracy) went to Pink Door for birthday dinner. Then we went to Chop Suey, where I bumped into a remarkable amount of faces from the past, the kind you have to think hard what their name is, and you hadnt given a seconds thought since the last time you saw them. We went home on our own (thank god no smokey afterhours at our house!) but were still wasted enough to think it a good idea to buy $200 Daft Punk tickets at 4am. Anyone want to go to Daft Punk show in June? Fuck.
Saturday morning Nick came to Seattle. We went to the park for see-saw and swings. Where else, other than Seattle, would you get a park and playground to yourself? We then walked to pagliaci's for lunch. That afternoon we went to the waterfront, got pretty excited by Fireboats, and took the ferry to Bainbridge Island. When I explained the concept of an island to him, although technically a peninsula, he said "we took a ferry to another world." He later reused this phrase when describing his day to his Mom. On Bainbridge, Nick took photos in the car wash, and we ate at the most excellent Isla Bonita restaurant - the only two worthwhile things to do over there. Ferry back home.
Saturday night, I stayed in, very tired - Katie went to the Bus Stop and the Cuff til 3am.
On Sunday, I took Katie along to my meeting with my "foster student" to help with his senior project, and ended up having to drop him off at his Aunt's, which was a very scenic drive through Seattle's very own diverse neighborhoods, near Rainier Beach high school. Then finally late lunch at Coastal Kitchen. Katie worked on Sunday night, and so begins my last week at work.
