Don't read this if you ever want to eat meat again!
On that note, however, read it if you want to know what's really going on with your Big Mac. This book is The Jungle of the 21st century.

One of my favorites of all time
This book is everything you could want in a great read. It's funny, but it's also poignant and it stirs up the blood. Joseph Heller is a clever, clever man.

Overrated!
I read Angels and Demons first, then picked up the DaVinci Code to find out what all the hype was about. As I read, I had a revelation...hmmm, I said to myself, these are EXACTLY THE SAME BOOK. Sure,...
I read Angels and Demons first, then picked up the DaVinci Code to find out what all the hype was about. As I read, I had a revelation...hmmm, I said to myself, these are EXACTLY THE SAME BOOK. Sure, a couple of things change, but the plot structure is essentially unchanged. This so-called Indiana Jones of the art world doesn't do it for me, but to each his own.
On a totally related note, Tom Hanks is a terrible choice for the role in the film. Clive Owen would have been perfect.

I cried like, fifteen times.
This book is amazing, if you like a good tragedy (which I do). Astrid's story is so heart-breaking. I know that the author spent something like 25 years on this book, and unfortunately it's her only...
This book is amazing, if you like a good tragedy (which I do). Astrid's story is so heart-breaking. I know that the author spent something like 25 years on this book, and unfortunately it's her only published work. I don't know if I can wait another 25 for the next!

Shocking!
How often do you get to read a book that completely follows boring cliche standard plots? Y'know, boy-meets-girl, or boy-goes-to-war, or person-moves-to-big-city-and-discovers-self, or the most...
How often do you get to read a book that completely follows boring cliche standard plots? Y'know, boy-meets-girl, or boy-goes-to-war, or person-moves-to-big-city-and-discovers-self, or the most overused plot ever, boy-gets-stranded-on-life-raft-with-Bengal-tiger. Yawn!
Just kidding. This book is awesome.

Good coffee, cute shop.
In my anti-Starbucks crusade, I'm trying to pop into small, independent coffee joints as often as possible. As a result, I'm pretty jittery and my teeth are turning yellow. Ooops.

In my anti-Starbucks crusade, I'm trying to pop into small, independent coffee joints as often as possible. As a result, I'm pretty jittery and my teeth are turning yellow. Ooops.
I went to Cherry Street Coffee House in Pioneer Square on my way to work today. I had plain coffee; no complaints. I'm kind of a snob too, so not having complaints is good. Well, I guess I have one complaint. I asked for an inch of room, mainly because I'm a giant klutz and I like to add a little milk, but I was wearing white, and didn't need coffee slosh action. Anyway, the gal didn't leave enough room so I had to hold my coffee at arms length for the whole walk to work. I guess it was good exercise for my arm or something....
I had a bagel; it was good. I didn't really get to look around (I was kind of in a hurry) but the place looked pretty nice.

Ferry Commuters have this inside scoop for downtown coffee.

Downtown Cups is a convenient stop for ferry commuters, but anyone who works nearby should check out this little spot for their daily joe.
Cups' Caffe Vita coffee is a million times better than the swill in the terminal. Michelle, the new owner, is wonderful and friendly, as are her employees. You'll find no surly, coffee snob baristas here. If they get your drink wrong, they'll do it again until it's exactly how you want it. Not that this ever happens; their espresso is perfect, their foam flawless. The panini sandwiches are delicious, and their pastries from the Essential Baking Company and Little Rae's Bakery are largely organic, and still delicious.
Check this place out! They're hard to find, and you have to resist the naughty naughty urge to dip into the Starbucks on the corner, but it's worth it. Go down Marion, past first. They're on the overpass. I promise, the extra fifty feet are worth it!
And, on a side note, the barista's uniform shirts which read "What's your cup size?" are hilarious.

Come on! There are so many indy coffee shops that would LOVE your business.
Starbucks' coffee will turn your mouth a weird shade of brownish yellow that won't brush off for two days.

Starbucks' coffee will turn your mouth a weird shade of brownish yellow that won't brush off for two days.
DON'T GO TO STARBUCKS. They had a wonderful idea, and it got out of hand. Quality is lost. Their milk is oversteamed and their foam is too frothy. I'm from Kona, Hawaii, home of the 2nd best coffee in the world, and there is only ONE Starbucks there, and nobody goes there.
C'mon. Support local businesses, not multi-national corporations (even if they are local)!

I don't know how to rate this.
This movie is totally sick, twisted, depraved...and riveting. The story is confusing, and a little complicated, and there are some very disgusting scenes.

This movie is totally sick, twisted, depraved...and riveting. The story is confusing, and a little complicated, and there are some very disgusting scenes.
For example. Have you ever seen a man eat a live octopus? Yum. I won't get into detail about the rest, but there are some scenes that'll turn anyone's tummy.
However, it is totally original, unlike anything I've ever seen. I would recommend it to the strong of stomach and the slightly sick.
I did like this movie...I watched it twice, but after the second time I vowed never to watch it again. That was enough for this girl.

I love the Waj!
So, so fun. Where else can you stick your hand in a tank and squeeze a geoduck? So what if your hand stinks afterwards?
And also this is a great place to find weird gifts. You can find a present...

And also this is a great place to find weird gifts. You can find a present for anyone....provided they're a little quirky.
