Books, books, some games, more books
Like any Seattle native, I read a lot. At least I try to read as often as I can. And when I need a new book to consume, I always go to Half Price Books. Great selection and hidden deals make the trip...
Like any Seattle native, I read a lot. At least I try to read as often as I can. And when I need a new book to consume, I always go to Half Price Books. Great selection and hidden deals make the trip exciting. And my favorite part is falling prey to their impulse items that they have at the registers. ie- Devil Doll story book. YAY!

Once upon a time there was a nice local store known as The Bon Marche'. It was a decent place to shop at; a place to buy a tie or some other simple piece of apparel. I even liked some of the staff.
And then it all changed. It took a few years to really notice, but the it's current version, Macy's, just doesn't have the same feel anymore. I don't shop there anymore but I do hear of frequent complaints from my friends. So sad.

Is it 11:45 on a Friday night, you're wide awake and feel like doing something low key? Ok, it's Saturday night and you're feeling the same way. Well, you're in luck because the Egyptian Theater is there for you. They screen a different classic 80's and 90's cult movie every weekend. And sometimes, if you're lucky, you may get into a special event evening. My favorite so far has to be the "Sing Along Purple Rain".

It's ok
Big screen, nice sound, good choice in titles, but I find the chairs too small.
Is it just me?

This is the perfect example of what improv should be. I have never seen any other ensemble that can free fall with such grace than Unexpected Productions. Their shows can be funny as hell, and yet at times can be serious in mood and very moving; Improv is not always about gags and this team knows that. And I have seen enough shows to notice the wide range of talent that UP is made up of.
This place is perfect for dates, family outings, and just general fun times. See them soon!

Perfect for a sunny day walk

I love dogs dearly but don't have one of my own. But that fact doesn't stop me from walking through the dog park at Marymoor. I enjoy watching all the dogs play and scamper about while walking along the trails. I have yet to visit a nicer dog park.

I wanted to like this place, I really did. I had heard such great stories about it. The few times I have gone there, I have had to wait way too long for service. My worst experince was my first when I walked in alone with the intention of having dinner there. I was seated and then I waited. 30 or so minutes later and I had yet to order.

Where I go to hide
Here is another great place to go for insomniacs. Open 24, the old 5 Point Cafe is bursting with personality. Trust me, the fun doesn't stop at 2:00am, but the fun does slow down a bit as the place...
Here is another great place to go for insomniacs. Open 24, the old 5 Point Cafe is bursting with personality. Trust me, the fun doesn't stop at 2:00am, but the fun does slow down a bit as the place is overrun on the weekends by the club crowd kids. By 3:30am or the place is cleared out for the regulars and fun continues.
My favorite visit was years ago. I was completely smashed, so as my friends continued to drink, I watched the movie "Dead Alive" without any sound.
I love the wait staff there too! Ramona and Sheila rock.
