Oh, the blizzard!
No, I'm not dead; I've just been really busy: stuck in Seattle, watching a bunch of movies (ahhh, Micmacs is so ADORABLE), developing a slew of crushes up and down the Drive, being pretty sure 1 or 2 customers have inevitably developed customer-cashier-customer crushes on me... blah blah. Oh and Christmas shopping.
So yeah. That's why I haven't updated.
J and I went to Seattle for a day trip that turned into a 2 day trip because of their strange snow storm and unsalted I5. Seriously. I've never ever experienced the powdery snow flying at my face at perhaps 40 mph. We walked to the Ace (when we should've just stayed at the Hotel Max or Westin instead...) which took about 45 minutes.
Don't get me wrong --- the Ace is not without its charms and I also got to eat the best veggie burger I've EVER had. EVER. (Said burger is named "Happy Hippie Burger" from the Cyclops Bar). (There's no room service or adjoining restaurant at this Ace but there was Cyclops right downstairs...).
The next morning, we walked down to the bus station to see if the Greyhounds were running. They were. We choose to stick close to the station because it was still pretty chilly and slippery out. We went into Red Balloon Co. and J bought her signature self-souvenir (Ugly Dolls). We walked next door to Caffe Senso Unico and I had one of the best vanilla lattes I've had (possibly ever).
Strangely, lots of places are closed on Mondays (as opposed to say... Sunday?) and the combination of snowy weather kind of kept us within the core of Downtown. We did go to their International District. J and I shared a delectable curry beef bun from the Fuji Bakery Inc., we ate brunch dinner at Mike's Noodle House, and shopped at their big Japanese supermarket (Uwajimaya). Yes, we did a lot of eating. But it was a really long day. A really, really long day.
(Best Veggie Burger Ever + Best Vanilla Latte) - being stuck over night = a pretty good trip.
So yeah. That's why I haven't updated.
