On the bus to Ma and Pok’s house for pho. People having real issues figuring out how to pay.
Pointless billboard: “Foreign oil dependence? That’s so crude. Let’s explore our options!” Solar? Offshore drilling? What?
And To Bed.
This crisis shows why I prefer ‘ivory tower’ academics in my government over ‘experienced’ former buisnessmen. Less conflict of interest.
Slumlord neighbor took down ducktape and scrap wood “for rent”, put up a sign stolen from a local prop. manager. http://twitpic.com/fmih
Heading downtown to the Steelhead Diner for 3rd anniversary dinner with Matinay

It’s nearly midnight and the multi-week long Law And Order marathon going on downstairs continues. http://is.gd/3Scb
I’m beginning to pass on my Husky knowledge to the people who will takeup my responsibilities when I leave. Next, an apprentice.
“All I wanna do is zooma-zoom zoom zoom in your boom boom.” Poetry.
WALL•E is at the Admiral! EVERYBODY HAS TO COME SEE IT WITH ME
Is it just me, or did Russia’s comeback just sort of flop?
Is there any movie out there with the same level of “Ohmyholyfuck” mayhem as The Dark Knight?
Holy crap, the Admiral Theater has a bar now?
I got the job!
Listened to “Miss You” by the Rolling Stones while biking home in the dark. I need some sort of bike stereo.
Getting back to my Kelly family roots: it’s Ella and Satchmo time.
That was a kinda fun moment with Obama crossing Brokaw’s teleprompter. Also, I’ve never seen a town hall that BLUE and RED before.
He’ll get ‘em. McCain has a SECRET PLAN.
“If we’re gonna have followups, then we’ll have followups to followups, and I’ll be late for bedtime, and Gladys knows how I get cranky…”
Oh? Shit! AAPL is down another 10% today, to 89.16. My ‘portfolio’ has now lost half its value in less than a year.
$3 New Belgium pints on trivia night FTW!
Getting set for quiz night. Gonna bike down to get pho at Than Bros. first.
I’m kind of enjoying this fad for financial news for the rest of us. I’m learning a lot.
I could listen to just variations on “Ruby, My Dear” for weeks. Especially when Thelonius Monk is involved.
Rain. A lot of it. And my bus pass is expired. On the bike. Sigh.
For my Mac-using friends: When reading long articles, try using Tofu. Formats everything into nice readable columns. http://is.gd/3z8o
Who wants to come to the Seattle Tea Festival this weekend with me?
I’m in an odd mood where I want to make a teenagery blog post filled with music lyrics and wistfulness.
A top Vatican official called the Democrats the “party of death.” I think we go with it. It’s sorta badass.
I’ve got a fever, and the only prescription is more timpani.
Walter Wanderley’s Rain Forest is my official puttering around the apartment soundtrack. Puttering, specifically. Not right for work/lounge.
As La Grange by ZZ Top plays, little kid says “what’s this song? This is a monster truck song!”
Watching the debate at my aunt and uncle’s. Biden’s doing a great job keeping the debate on Obama vs. McCain.
Word you’ll hear too much in the news of the day: Sweetener.

When this comes out in the States: Bought. http://is.gd/3pCY
As more of my friends get on Twitter, it’s taking on some elements of a lazy, no pressure, enjoyable, ongoing IM/SMS open conversation.
Enjoying a weird delayed reverse culture shock while looking back at my Cambodia photos. I need to upload more of these!
Also, it’s kind of insane that California has nearly twice as many delegates as the next largest state (NY)
Can we get excited now? I think the election is starting to look like landslide. Are we all afraid to jinx it? Do we have that little faith?

All in all, it might be the fog that makes me happiest I’m back in West Seattle: http://twitpic.com/e2l2
The iPhone/touch developer NDA has been dropped! Open development! Let a thousand flowers bloom!
C’mon fiscal year 2009!
Through the Apple Store (online, I presume) or a campus resource?
