hello sweet things-
writing from a little seventh floor window nook in capitol hill overlooking this good old town, loving good and living good as always. america's been quite the lady this time around, and this city makes me like the whole country just a little bit better. wooooeeee!
we hijacked janine + other gaelens roadtrip and made them drive us to seattle, so that started the trip off great!! then picked up 8 bottles of wine, a bottle of champagne and LOTS OF CHEAP AMURRICAN BEER so you could say we've been preeeeeeeeeeeetty saucy these last couple days.
last night saw a film called biutiful and it was FUCKING STUNNING and everyone should see it. javier bardem is a mindfuck of a good actor, and the surrealist elements were gorgeous. visually it was inspiring at almost every turn. go! do it! also went to the local VV and picked up a floor length knit wool poncho made for yours truly in iceland probably 50 years ago. pumped to introduce that baby to some cabin time and beach campfires this summer.
thought of you ragnhild marie falkenberg valstad while i was hunting through mugs for some good american states ones. won't tell you what i found but lets just say the mug collection is about to get (even) bigger.
thought of you miriam alicia thom while i was reading in a stumptown scoping babely baristas (don't tell gaelen!)
thought of the rest of you blawg-lurkers in that we all need to come hang out here together this summer! this city rules! lets take it over!
