I am browsing craigslist and trying to decide where to live. Seattlistas? I'm thinking Capitol Hill. But even then, I'm not sure where is the main drag and what are the boundaries of coolness vs. inconvenience, etc.

Seems like a lot of stuff is cheaper than DC, but a lot of stuff isn't. Hrm.

hope you feel better d!

I just got a text message from date tomorrow. Oy.

ok - I said intel. that is not intel. that is tease.

what is orange juice and whisky?

(Ahem. Whisk(e)y and orange juice. Always order the booze first.)

A waste of whisky.

Pretty much. My book calls it a "Neumann" or a "Riprock", but I call it one of the nastier drinks I've heard of.

Vodka + OJ = Screwdriver. Tequila + OJ = Tequila Screwdriver, also called a Golddriver.

Date is now put off until tomorrow. I will wait to post incredible mock-worthy text until after possible mock-worthy date. He might not be as bad in person though, so I'll exercise some restraint for the moment.

Man, my throat is killing me. Think I'll get spicy Thai soup for dinner. I think it might be the equivalent to Jewish Penicillin. Lemongrass Soup for the Soul.

Fezziwig! I played Fezziwig's daughter once upon a time. Ghost of Christmas Present is hella fun, too.

Tequila + OJ = Tequila Screwdriver, also called a Golddriver.

But at this point you might as well add a dash of grenadine and make it a Tequila Sunrise.

Fay - congratulations on the casting!

Lemongrass soup sounds delicious.

I'm living in the land of many mosquitoes and subsequently - lots of mosquito bites and I hear that lemongrass oil is excellent for mosquito bites. . . if you don't mind smelling like lemon pledge. (But I don't have a source for any so I remain itchy.)

sumi, I hadn't heard that. Of course I'm sitting inside all day today in the AC so no bug bites for me. But I should dig out my Eucalyptus or Peppermint for my throat.

I swear we have mosquitos (toes?) pretty much everywhere - on Monday I was waiting for the bus inside the entry at Walmart and was buzzed by mosquitos and other insects.

My co-workers little boy was sent home from daycare because he had "spots" which turned out to be mosquito bites. There is no escape. (We still have alot of standing water here but we've been fortunate in not getting alot of additional rain.)

Hello from a family reunion for my mother's 80th Birthday!

Andi and I are sitting here and I'm enjoying free wifi in the banquet room at the local AmericInn.

There was a big surprise in that almost all of her 20+ grandchildren made it here. Plus some great grandchildren in tow.

There are friends and assorted extended people as well.

It is interesting to say the least. Many of these people I have not seen in a decade.

For Buffistas: Yes, even my niece with the pit bull that took down the attacker is here. I'll get a pic of her for you.

More later, Silly string may be needing to be prevented.

Mother! Stop that!
