From time to time I work
on Vashon,
a rather rural island just west of Seattle. Catching
the last west-bound passenger boat of the morning at
7:40
was a reach for me but I'm glad I toughed it out,
despite the buzzkill of having an alarm break up my
dreams. It was a glorious morning, clear skies and
glassy water so I geeked
out with cameras for the whole
22-minute passage. I was supposed to stain a
deck and railing today, but the weather turned so I
headed back to Seattle in a borrowed motor vehicle,
enjoyed the back roads scenic
route and then laughed at Seattle's best
attempts to infuriate me with its horrible
drivers--though it did make me think if I
could have just one superpower it would be to revoke
licenses at will. Speaking of the urban mess
(and how to fix it), tonight we enjoyed Brett
Hamil's The
Seattle Process, a bimonthly live talk show at
Northwest Film
Forum. It's funny and informative. Tonight
even featured a bit of Dada
by Travis Vogt,
who gave a spirited reading
of google-garbled hate mail sent to guest Pramila
Jayapal, who everyone should vote for. |
