I love commissioned graffiti, especially when it’s creative and fun. Down in Pioneer Square on Main and … we’ll call it 3rd … is a beautiful new piece. That’s mostly black and white with some awesome pops of vibrant triangular colors. Beautiful. There are three faces with similar treatments. Definitely make your way down and check it out.

I ran downtown today to have lunch with some friends and was surprised by another Destroy wheat paste poster in an alley I’ve never been down in Pioneer Square.

I love the humor and irony of having an outdoor thermostat. We’re perpetually trying to adjust things that are out of our control, thinking that if we just do this one thing or that thing, we’ll have “the perfect warm, sunny Seattle day” … or whatever fits that metaphor for you. In the end, more often than not, the dial is controlled by forces outside of our own and we can either fight the futile fight, or grab a jacket and enjoy the partly sunny, perpetual chance of rain type days.

I vote for the latter.

In the stairwell of one of my gigs down in Pioneer Square.

Today spun and I are playing a lot of musical chairs at Starbucks. When we get down to the last song, if she and I are still vying for a final seat, I’ll happily pull my jacket off the chair, warm her with it or cover a puddle to clear her path.

Next song’s starting. Let’s go!

I love me some Johnny Cash from time to time. Today, I saw a pair of shoes that reminded me of some I Walk the Line lyrics.

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you’re mine, I walk the line

Spun, I’ll admit, I’m a fool for you. You give me cause for love that I can’t hide.

oxoxo my dear

It seems that time moves extremely fast when skies are blue in Seattle. Very rarely do days linger on, slowly plodding towards dusk. Nope, it’s like vacation days at various employers: use ‘em or lose ‘em.

Today, I worked. However, I was able to enjoy a fabulous walk home face first in the sun.

There should be some sort of autocorrect or at least red underline for folks that use grammar wrong … yes, they’re real words, but not the ones you wanted to use.

I apologize for your situation, however.

The insane rain has subsided and made way for the flowers to bloom. What a stellar way to kick off a Friday full of productivity and regained sanity with workload. Soon the sunshine will be on my face and winter will be behind me.

Spun has a lot of prospective stuff on the horizon as well. So many things are blooming. I feel like I need another flower / spring reference…

Wednesday night was a 12 hour all night bender of coding for a friend. Thankfully the better part of her site is complete and about ready for launch. Also, I’m actually really glad Seattle worked every last drop of rain out if its system. Man it was soggy there for a quick minute. 90 min of sleep and a few cups of coffee kept me going today where I met with a handful of clients and still managed to put in a solid 8 hours.

Saturday I play.

I’m pretty certain Seattle’s weather is the joker today. Perpetually changing from sun to rain and back again. Just when you think you’ll be needing that umbrella, you look like a goober for carrying a parasol. Just kidding, it’s raining and now you’ve got water all over your face. Thanks Seattle for your bipolar humor. Instead of fluoride, we should put Prozac in your water.
