Heavy Medley

This week has been a bit hectic, since my getaway trip to Seattle made me behind by a day or so. But it was well worth it. I’m writing it up as a travel piece but I’ll share some photos in the meantime…

Mir was my partner in crime for half the time. We’re a pretty great team. She called it the honeymoon she never had.

We went to the Experience Music Project, but solely to check out the sci-fi museum. Turns out it’s closed, except for one random exhibit about Battlestarship Galactica, which I’ve never watched.

We still had so much fun. Particularly in the gift shop.

Then we booted it to Theo’s chocolate factory, where we got a tour that involved lots of samples. It smelt really good in there. Just like a chocolate factory should smell, I suppose.

Then we checked in to our hotel, Hotel 1000. Top notch stuff. I’ve recommended it to several people thus far, quite sincerely. Our room and its view was kind of like a dream come true. No complaints.

I’d never experienced the Moodz channel, but let me tell you…it’s good stuff.

Mir and I got all tarted up and hit the town. We were in bed by 12:30, I think.

The next day I did a lot of this, ’cause to me, this is perfection. Big bed, tv, computer and stunning view. Also, I had the best massage of my life, courtesy of Jo at Spaaah. Hot stone. I was on some level that was somewhere between sleep and half consciousness. I think it’s called bliss.

Mr. Todd Barry was also in town, doing a show at the Showbox.  I got to see him perform, lucky me.

The next day I did a bunch of solo wandering. Went to the Smith Tower, and got to explore the Chinese Room, which has a panoramic view of the city. It was so very special. There’s this chair in there that if you sit in it, and you’re single, and a lady, you’ll be married within a year. I’m not going to reveal if I did or not…

When I came out, it was pouring so I ducked into this guy’s little indie gallery. His medium was quilts. His muse appeared to be himself.

Then I killed some time at the public library. Microsoft has something to do with it and thus there is money behind it and thus it is a truly stunning building.

An entirely red hallway.

An entirely green staircase.

Good trip. Great trip, in fact. Sweet little getaway, for sure. My piece is due on Friday so I’ll be sure to post it when it’s done.

Oh. I’ve added an audio section to my portfolio page, so if you wanted to hear that DNTO piece from a few weeks ago, give it a click and have a listen. Scroll down to audio.

That’s about it. Keeping busy working on some exciting projects. More to come, eventually. Vague and annoying, I know. That’s how I do it (but only when I want to be vague and annoying.)
