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.

Ugh, Phillip Lim!

If I had some sort of magical time machine that could fly me back to March of this year, it'd be great. And while it's taking me back in time, it can also fly me to New York (or L.A) and we could go buy me a pair of them Donahue.

Just saying.

P.S., damn you, Phillip Lim. Damn you. Damn limited edition.

RC: the death of me.

When I first saw the Tullamore in orange suede it made my heart skip a beat. Several, even. But when I saw it in brown... well. It made me reach for my wallet.

But then I stopped myself.

Maybe another day. (Soon).

I think you sound like an epilogue to Felicity.

Early Christmas

Beautiful.

I love it. SO MUCH.

But. I won't lie: I could really use the BIG luggage tote.
(This is the small one. It's actually quite light for a tote.)
