I live in a goddamn triangle!

I am typing in a triangle! It is a right triangle. It has a window wall made of iridescent glass squares in the shape of an equilateral triangle.

I paid attention in freshman year geography.

There is a library next door that is traveling through time. I will post those pictures eventually, but this post is all about me baby. Libraries are for Wednesdays or Thursdays or whenever I decide to start posting again.

This is the little shed/studio thing in front of my place. It sticks out pretty fantastically. It looks like a bird - get it? Everybody I meet in the context of living here asks me about the birdshed. I believe I should start making up answers for them. Suggestions?

This is the interior. Because it is my interior, I have crap everywhere. Magazines, sketchbooks, notepads, guitar, envelopes, cds, tums, playstation, etc. Putting things away is for wussies.

This is my loft. You use the ladder thing in the previous photo to get to the loft which runs the length of the building. I am using it as box storage. There was a table up there, but now it is downstairs and is housing my computer wares.

It makes creaky noises. It is making creaky noises right now.

Here is my fire extinguisher. So you know in this wood-panneled house I am totally cool.

Also here is my singular giraffe in my place. If you know me you know that a singular giraffe in my living quarters is an oddity. I packed light, but I packed a giraffe. He likes fire and hangs out near the candles, which are above the stove.








I am a decorating champion! Look how well that clock covers the circuit box! AMAZING! Look how well that White Stripes poster is hanging. Technically, Roth hung up that poster - with guitar strings while I was sleeping - but he is not standing in front of it smiling and I am. So there.

That concludes the glimpse into my life. Stay tuned!


In other news about me, I know a lot about Disney now. I have been watching musical scenes from Disney movies I haven't watched since I was 9 or so and I am finding them to be fairly spectacular. Today I watched "I Wanna Be Like You" from Jungle Book, "Gaston" from Beauty and the Beast and "Hellfire" from Hunchback of Notre Dame. The more I think about it, the more Jungle Book was musically awesome. I would say I need to watch the whole thing again, but I'm pretty sure work's going to take care of that one. Seriously though, King Louie (king of the swingers, the jungle VIP) is great. YouTube it.

Holy Good Lord I Love MoPo

This girl is deathly afraid pickles.

So Maury teases her with pickles.

Oh Maury, you're such a card!

Newsflash: MySpace Still Sucks.

but somehow my entire extended family got on it overnight or something.

"I can't shake 'em!"

Today my internship including watching Star Wars.

Take that Al Gaither.

First 15 Days in Seattle

So here goes the first post from Seattle. I am going to post this in both my blaugs until I figure out which one will be Seattle-centric.

I have officially been in Washington for 15 days now. Today was my fifth day at the Experience Music Project / Science Fiction Museum. More about that in a few short paragraphs . . .

I have an apartment in the central district. There is a weird neo-classical post-modernist library (Roth coined that one) across the street. The building looks like it is traveling through time. I'll post pictures when it is nice/light outside. I live in a weird "apartment" if you could even call it that. It is its own building, but it is #B. Basically I am living in this guy's art project from 30 years ago. On the outside it looks like a long triangle, on the inside it looks like a cabin I would stay at on the lake. I have a loft that runs the length of the building that I haven't the faintest idea what to do with.

The barrage of good shows here in Seattle is a bit overwhelming. If these names came through Missoula I would undoubtedly have tickets to all of them, but out here there are three good acts on one night all the time. I saw Smoosh and the Eels my first weekend out. The Smoosh girls are going to be every indie boy's fantasy in about five years (if they aren't already - ew.). They're cute, like to jump around on stages with weird body guard-security-whip cream administering types and they are awfully talented. Though I suppose if my daddy was a record producer, I would be too. Hell, they even signed a bus schedule for Roth. Adorable!

Everyone at the EMP is very cool and agreeable. It is a pretty relaxed environment as far as office-settings go. I have a badge that lets me into places (including the museums for free). Right now I am helping with some pre-production for the Sci-fi Hall of Fame Induction on Saturday. I am going to be working at that event as well, so that's cool. I haven't been through the EMP in a while, but if you are a sci-fi fan at all I recommend checking the SFM out. Working for free kind of sucks, but at least I'll get to do some post production, build my resume and like I said the office is pretty nice.

Oh and Roth and I neglected to go to the Frugal Burger in the entire time he was here. Next time he visits we will correct this egregious error.

More to come. Promise.
