BUILDING NOTICE: CAMPUS CLOSURE

SNOW DAY! Avid readers would have already seen my comments about getting home from work last night. See here and here for more details. Well today i was getting ready for work when my mate Poe gave me a call telling me that campus was closed due to dangerous driving conditions. Seattle doesn't regularly get falls like this and the whole city pretty much shut down.

i'm dreaming of a white christmas

...just like the ones I used to know. Ok, so i've never had a white christmas but after todays display it might just happen.

totally bulletproof dude

I'm learning to snowboard, I bought a season pass to Snoqualmie, they're snow fields about 45min away. Photos below are my gear, me booting up at the car and the video is of my 4th run down the bunny slope, and yes i did make it up the chairlift. It's gonna be sweet going boarding after work, hopefully the conditions won't be bulletproof like they were today.

crane oopsie

I was driving past a construction site in Bellevue on Saturday morning when I noticed a something a little strange, there was a gaping whole in the side of a building next to the construction site. There was a catastrophic crane failure at the construction site causing it to collapse and fall onto boardering buildings leaving one person dead. Story here.

Footy!

I went to see Built to Spill on friday night and ended up drinking at a bar in capital hill, the barman was closing up and offered me tickets to a Huskies game which had been given to him as a tip, I happily accepted. They played Stanford and lost 20-3.

bonnie prince billy played at the tractor tavern in ballard. first gig i had been to at that venue, was pretty cozy, i especially liked the cowboy boots strung up like christmas decorations.

What's that in the sky...It's a bird, it's a plane, it's...

Video: speech

It was the Office 2007 ship party today which for the people who had been working on it for the past 3 years (as opposed to the last 3 months like me) it was time to party. Elvis was kind enough to show up, though he wasn't singing unfortunately and there was plenty of flowing chocolate.

ah-mean-uh

I caught Amiina last night at Chop Suey last night, I had a ticket organised but the lovely folks at Iceland Naturally sponsored the show so it was FREE! No photo but se here for a movie of Amiina playing in Detroit.
