that ring of confidence: Seattle day one

Seattle day one

This morning I woke up late today, sleeping in after a long night of watching the last few episodes of the Six Feet Under boxset that I have. I sort of screwed around on the internet for awhile then headed out.

My first stop was at my parents' office so that I could pick up a copy of my birth certificate. I was a bit nervous that I'd need a passport to enter the US, and my passport is in Kelowna along with my copy of my birth certificate.

Following that I stopped by the offices of Urban Vancouver [uv] to sell my Vancouver Canucks versus Toronto Maple Leafs ticket to Richard Eriksson [uv] so that it wouldn't go to waste while I was in Seattle.

I stopped at Jack in the Box outside of Bellingham, and ate a very large burger and a very large Coke. If I lived in the US I think I'd be dead by now, as the portions are so fucking large it's stupid. I then headed down to Seattle [mbs] just in time to hit the traffic.

After a bit of directions from Google Maps and Jeff on the phone, I ended up picking up the young lad and we headed to University Villiage shopping centre where we stopped at the Apple Store and then ate sushi. We then swung by his apartment so I could store my Powerbook and change of clothes at his aparment and then we walked to the Garage a bowling alley / pool hall [scs] owned in part by Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready. We had a few drinks and I lost a few games of pool.

Following this we walked back to his place, though luckily the rain had let up a bit so we weren't drenched on the way back. We then watched an episode of the Simpson that I'd never seen (Bart got sent to jail) and then I totally blogged it all. So that brings us right up to to this very minute.

Tomorrow we're going to the science fiction museum before I drive back for the next great Trivial Pursuit 90s' Edition match. This will be the first time anyone aside from my brother and his girlfriend meet Lydia.
