A cartoon by Dan Meth about Early Adopters of Technology.

This week, I was inspired by my girl friend's boyfriend's talented vegetarian cooking finesse, I made whole wheat pasta with Yves sausage, eggplant and peppers. Surprisingly delicious! Even the leftovers were hearty and comforting during the temperature drop sprinkled with snow flurries.

Recently, tried Wii Sports Bowling. I scored 212 on my first try. I love Wii and the console games because the design gets you off the couch and is so interactive. Brilliant! I particularly enjoy the karaoke games.

I started watching the Tudors. An amazing Canadian produced show that has beautiful set design, costumes, wonderfully written and acted.

Conan O'Brien's new show debuted on TBS on Sunday. Recently, I watched an old interview by Conan with the late Hunter S. Thompson. Thompson invites Conan to his ranch to shoot some guns.



A few weeks ago, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas was showing on the tv. Johnny Depp is fantastic as Hunter S. Thompson. The movie does the novel justice. I have seen the film a few times and it still mesmerizes me to this day.

Seacompression

A few weeks ago, I went to Seattle for Seacompression's regional decompression. It was a sold out event with many art installations, theme camps, art cars, live music, performances and community-spirited people. It was great to reconnect with many beautiful people and it filled my heart with joy to further bond with new friends.



I also had the lovely experience of connecting with alumni and new members of Costco.

Some photos from the event:

I also went to the Freemont Market for Tandoozy and Ebelskivvers. Delicious as always. We also went to visit the Troll.

I tried two new coffee houses that were both deeply savory Espresso Vivace in South Lake Union and All City Coffee in Georgetown, and Smarty Pants for lunch (tasty sandwiches) also in Georgetown.

I also had the pleasure of finally going to the the Seattle Art Museum with a lovely friend from San Francisco. The main exhibition was the Picasso exhibit showcasing many drawings, paintings and sculptures from the famed artist. The exhibit is on until January 17, 2011.

Some of us also visited the beautiful architectural Smith Tower in downtown Seattle. The building opened in 1914 and was the tallest building in the west for almost 50 years. For a small fee, a visitor can ride a historic elevator to a top floor to see sweeping views of the harbour and downtown Seattle. The penthouse floor ceiling is also decorated with ornate hand-carved wood imported from China.

 

This past Halloween weekend, I was estatic to participate as a pirate in the return of Public Dream's Parade of Lost Souls. A walking route was planned where community homes decorated, played music, created art and performed for people. It was so much fun! Some friends also performed a beautiful forest-themed fire show.
