I Can Haz Cheezburger?
It has been awhile, since I'm trying to eat healthy and save money. But I came across this site, Legit Beef, which has some very thorough reviews of burger places in Seattle. The next time I order an extra-rare artery clogger with bacon, cheese, and a giant side of mayo, I'm gonna make it count!
FUN FACT: The LOLcat/Cheezburger headquarters are about a mile from me, over in Queen Anne. How's that for a lolcat connekshun?

Okay, I Will!
The weather here has been fantastic, so I've been playing outside as much as possible. My wrist-stamp at Contour pretty much sums up how my return to Seattle has been going so far. Best day evar! (Since yesterday.)

Snoqualmie Falls
The sunny day and packs of tourists take most of the Twin Peaks horror out of it. I was more than happy to take advantage of the hearse-friendly parking though.

The Best Thing About February 14th Is the 50% Off Candy Sale on February 15th

Because Some People Need a Written Invitation

Coming Home from Whidbey Island
I'm still infatuated with the idea that I can get on a ferry and go to dozens of islands like it ain't no thang.

Groundhog Day
Tomorrow morning I will wake up in the same modest hotel room, hear the same noises, see the same people, and go through the same motions I went through yesterday. I'm trapped in the Valley, and I could think of no better day to meet this avoidably unexpected turn of events than the day Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow.
Maybe it will remain February 2nd for another few years. Maybe I'll spend a few weeks testing fate with acts of debauchery leading to a seemingly untimely death, only to wake up and do it all again. Then I can take someone's gentle advice and dedicate whatever extra time I've been granted to learning new things and improving myself, and I'll see February 3rd.
On the other hand, maybe these last 10 months have been my continuously looping February 2nd. The hedonism is over and the compelling case to radiate kindness, love, and beauty has finally gotten through to me.
Tomorrow is February 3rd, and it's gonna be so good.
