First, the answers to some questions posed in regards to my last entry:

1) No, I did not have the FatKreme combo (thank gawd). For the uninitiated, the FatKreme combo is a Fatburger with the bun replaced by two Krispy Kreme donuts. The FatKreme combo, as some might have guessed, is the brainchild of a certain Jet. Yes kids, he is insane for even thinking of such a monstrosity of cardio-attack inducing glutton.

2) For those of you who I've fallen out of touch with (Hi Jen!) or just didn't know me until you stumbled upon this blog, I'm currently living in St. Louis. I was an economic refugee and didn't have that much of a choice. I'm currently working for a reinsurance company's IT department...not the sexxiest of work, but it pays. St. Louis itself isn't bad, but tis a bit too sleepy for me.

And without further ado, my continuing adventures in Seattle:

The city itself wasn't what I expected. N-E described it quite correctly when he said "the city rises from the forest and the coast"(?) rather than the other way around. There are trees and water everwhere, giving good portions of Seattle a very European river city vibe. It's also a lot hillier than I expected.

As pointed out in other blog entries, I really didn't get to see many of Seattle's unique features. All of the involved parties were rather lethargic for a variety of reasons. Additionally, 26 hours isn't exactly the largest amount of time to be touristy. Guess those things will have to wait until next time.

Additionally, I saw meklar for the first time since college. I suppose it was inevitable since he lives in N-E's basement in Seattle. (= He, along with Jeremy, joined us for the movie night that included Hedwig and the Angry Inch, a very audience participatory version of Face/Off (just imagine a bunch of people sitting around doing arm motions while saying "I want to take his face...off."), and 20% of Magnolia.

All in all, it was a very fun, but way too short hang-out trip. Mucho gracias to Brian, who not only posted comments in my blog, but also provided the MMMM...FREE TICKET for the trip.

Jet is quite correct in mentioning that I misspelled Grunk's last name. Sorry Brian!

Mike is also quite correct that a true correction would've changed it to meklar.

I'm so fond of re-writing history.
