late-night blogging from Seattle
So far, it's mildly depressing -- the loneliness of it all.
I took my anonymous flight out of SFO, and ended up in my anonymous Ford Taurus, driving to my anonymous hotel room on an anonymous stretch of highway.
However, from what little I've seen, Seattle looks greener...
...but I suppose it doesn't help that I'm eating alone.
...and it also doesn't help that I've just seen "Lord of War" -- which was decent, but not great.
...and it also doesn't help that I'm reduced to watching HBO late at night, watching "Curb Your Enthusiasm", which is surprisingly not that funny.
Another thing that pisses me off is that I'm going to be stuck in class basically the entire time I'm here, only getting out at 4:30 every day. While I'm extremely grateful, not to mention extremely happy, to be seeing some old college friends I've been terrible at keeping up with, they're only seeing me for one evening. And getting out at 4:30 every day means I won't be able to do much -- I was hoping to get to see the Science Fiction Museum, but it'll be closed.
Thank God for the Seattle Art Museum -- they stay open until 9 on Thursdays, and they're even having a show of my favorite sculptor's work.
I guess I'll just have to find a game store and a book store to get lost in, but needless to say I've got a lot of time on my hands.
Which leaves me ample time to go crazy missing Mer and L.
Argh!
