Put the Halibut Down and Step Away!

It's been ... 3 weeks since I touched down here and still haven't gotten an angle, so to speak, on Rain City. This place is slipperier than a chum salmon. I mean, Bellevue! Fuck, where's that? It's way OVER THERE, on the other side of the waterway and the damn lake. I keep walking through West Seattle and in guileless consumer glee shrieking, "OHMYGAWDTHEYHAVESAVERS!"

The cafe and restaurant scene downtown is daunting. I stumbled down Pine Street on Friday after filling out an app. for some lame-o job, and just gaped at all the signs while my stomach grumbled. What the hell are low-carb lattes?

As for the the whole fish market; I just don't get it. Where's the cultural benefit in watching overly body-pierced guys in orange bib overalls throw fish at each other's heads?

On that note, more blurry pictures from Bus #22.

A blurry shot of downtown with Harbor Island and those odd giant orange things in the foreground. I wonder if they're hiring people to ... run those giant orange things? Hmmm.



Look Ma, I found the filter button in Photoshop! I was in an watery alley mood.



Even the Xmas lights are shaped like Space Needles. But is it politically correct? What about people who don't believe the Space Needle exists?



The world is my pork chop. Can I get that with a side of brussel sprouts?
