Dream Apt
This place is on my bus route, I pass it twice a day. It's been killing me, imagining the views, the bay windows, the extra floor that has that little teeny window. I just adore it. Too bad we're stuck in a lease....

Exploring with Erik
These are excerpts from a few different excursions.
On night after work, on our way to a classical guitar performance, we stopped for bubble tea at this cute little place decorated with prints of chibi villains. Chibi Alex DeLarge was my favorite, with his cartoon jock strap.
I recommend a stroll through campus in the evening.
A few weeks ago, on perhaps our last foray to pikes, we finally checked out the cute tea store. It was rad, it was packed with every type of tea, every piece of tea eqipment, every spice and blend.... It was also small for all of the tea goods it offered to fit very well.... Erik lasted about 5 minutes, and I got a few quick snap shots, before we were on our way again.
This is my favorite store in Pike's - the grocery. I may have even bloged about it already... It was so full of foods I have never heard of, that sounded strange and wonderful, and cost enough that I will probably never get to try the majority of them.
Obama blend. All of the Obama craze products make me so happy. The whole culture of it makes me feel I've been able to participate in a nice little part of history.

Rainbow quilt, el fin
baboon stitching....
Maybe it's just me, because I've starred at the damn thing so much, but I think the quilting helps a lot. The top piece seems a lot more interesting with a little more texture.
The cats love the quilt to an almost unhealthy extent. Aketa tried to crawl in it before one edge was pined down, and just lying on it makes them purr.
Title bar
I'm working on it.... It won't stay that big :) But I don't have a photo editor on hand at the mo, and wanted something... spring
Things are getting better and worse all the time.
We've had a quiet, and eventful few weeks. No house guests since mid-Feb, it was nice to spend a little quality time with Erik, but I'm starting to miss having visitors too.
Presidents day weekend, Ravi Asha and Michele finally got to come up and see our place. We had a blast, and I felt like I finally got to spend enough time with everyone. We went to the capitol hill water tower to watch the sunset, took ninja out on the town, visited Seattle's tiniest beach, compared two of down town's cooler churches (architectually), and the Japanese dollar fifty store, read some fine bus poetry, and picked the Fremont troll's nose.
Last weekend was ACRL, which was 80% rad, and 20% totally boring. I was really happy to feel connected to changes and advances in the library world, it even made me think for a minute maybe I would enjoy getting my MLS... except that 20%, the nagging feeling that in the day to day of librarian work the percentages are a little less kind, and how much I would hate being cut off from the services end of things. But maybe if I found the perfect library or dept, it would be worth it.
We learned the truth about Sad Cat. It turns out he's not sad like a puppy locked out in the cold - he's sad like one of those midwest bible salesmen with a wife in every state on his route. That's right, Sad cat is not only homeless, he's getting his snacks, lovin, and shelter at 3 different houses. So we decided it wasn't worth the fleas, the "marking", and the stress to Ms. Sassy Pants, and Kitty Wants a Snack. Needless to say, we stopped letting him in... and that little weasel didn't like it one bit. If we don't watch our feet, he'll sneak in while we are coming and going. And worse, he's started jumping up on the window sill while our cats are napping on the window bench - it terrifies them.
And best of all, yesterday I finally finished the rainbow quilt. I had completed the cover piece months ago, and thought sticking the whole thing together in a quilt sandwhich would be a piece of cake. Oh how wrong I was. Partly because the damn thing is cursed. I can't think if a single step that didn't go wrong and have to be redone. Durning the final step, our 40$ little sewing machine was dying, and we even had a power outage, so the edging looks like it was done by a baboon. But, I love the stupid thing. I slept under it last night, and it made me so happy!!
Pictures to come.
