Zoo Lights
I'm looking for something family-friendly to do for my birthday at the end of November. Tell me about the Point Defiance Zoo Lights. Cool or not? Worth the money and trip down there? |

What do Wolverine, The Watchmen and The Swamp Thing have in Common?
...I mean, other than semi-tolerable movies? Comics legend LEN WEIN (creator of Wolverine, Swamp Thing and editor of the original Watchmen comic series) will be appearing at the Seattle Center Comic Con today from 10am till 5pm today, Sunday November 8th. Admission is $5, $5 with a can of food for Northwest Harvest, Children 5 and under are free, blah blah spammity-blah... If you have to choose just one geeky thing to do today ( And there are a few Geeky things to do in the Greater Seattle Area today), I strongly suggest THIS EVENT over any of the others. Why? CHEAP! $5 to get in! Dealers motivated to unload some product so they don't have to lug it back home in the rain! INTIMATE! When else are you going to have a chance to meet WOLVERINE'S DADDY at a convention with notoriously low attendance? As a dealer at these shows over the past few years, I don't think I've ever seen more than 200 people come through the doors over the course of the entire day. It's more like a local Farmer's Market r Swap Meet than a comic book convention! Hope to see you there! |

Сумерки на Обводном канале.
Каждый день здесь проезжаю. Дважды :) И каждый раз — в сумерках... Странно, что только сейчас возникло желание написАть... Видимо, так было нужно. И написал-то не сразу — пару недель в голове мусолил, но даже за эскизы взяться не мог. Один эскиз только и сделал.  Ну вот, в конце концов добрался и до холста.  Сумерки на Обводном канале.

sushi
Does anyone know what the name of that sushi place is that's on Broadway North of John on the West side of the street? I think it starts with an A, but I'm not sure. Thanks a ton |

Disposal of a... garbage disposal.
Are there any special trash rules related to getting rid of a dead garbage disposal? I've been looking all over the Seattle Public Utilities site ( here, if you're in need too), but it seems to fall into a grey area. It's not a washer or dryer, but it's not a toaster either. I can't tell if it could be recycled or not. I'm planning on calling Monday, but I'd like to get this stinky, drippy, dead appliance out of my kitchen as soon as I can. I'm hoping someone out there has dealt with this very situation and has a quick answer. Thanks! |

Write your own local yelp review.
Average local yelp restaurant review: So my sisters boyfriend was in town and we decided to go out and have a good time because he is super awesome and she loves him so much. We went all around Seattle and saw the sights, and we splashed in the fountain because she had totally never done that before but we totally did today and it was fun. Soon we got hungry and we went to this local restaurant known for its great food apparently. We had to wait in LINE because the bitchy hostess said something about reservations and a weekend. After we finally got seated after FOREVER because all these people who had called ahead kept showing up, I was TOTALLY BUMMED that they didn't have anything that was vegan, gluten free, fat free, or bike friendly. What kind of place is this? I mean, everyone said it was totally awesome, but when we got there all they had was this fancy menu stuff that I couldn't read, and I totally don't even know what bechemel is anyway. IDK it just seemed not as great as everyone said it was. Two stars. |

Ethnic and specialty grocers
I'm looking for recommendations for the best (be it by price or by selection or by your own arbitrary criterion) ethnic and specialty grocers. I am specifically seeking: -mexican/south american (bonus for anywhere that makes fresh corn tortillas) -persian (specifically seeking sumac and pomegranate syrup here) -indian -kosher (somewhere with a decent selection of israeli imports would be nice, bonus points for a good selection of kosher/israeli wines) -cheesemonger (preference for somewhere that will cut-to-order by weight, rather than having pre-cut and cello-wrapped cheese) While proximity to where I'm living is nice (which would be South Everett), I'm willing to make a trip for good quality and well priced foodstuffs. |

Attn: Greenwood Arsonist
Dear Greenwood Arsonist, We get it already. You like to set stuff on fire and watch it burn. Spiffy. Different strokes for different folks and all that. How about this: instead of setting places where people are trying to conduct business on fire, if you're going to torch something else, how about the old McDonalds on Greenwood Ave. which has been sitting vacant for the last couple years? You could burn it down and do the community a favor by ridding us of the eyesore. Besides, I bet there's all sorts of grease and flammable stuff in there which would catch pretty well. You could even stay inside and watch to see first hand the sort of effect your fires have on buildings from that side. Sounds exciting, doesn't it. Why not give it a try? After all, I think you're the one person I could tell to DIAF and actually fucking mean it literally. kthxbye |

Tile Wax "Emergency"
So, my mother is kind of flipping out. She needs tile wax to use in our MIL apartment. We found 2 stores that carry it but none are open on weekends and the new tenant is moving in tomorrow. Anyone know where I can find this? Proximity to North Seattle/Greenwood would be a plus, but I suppose I don't have a choice as far as distance. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Yesterday's Memorial
Ok, we are all sad that a Seattle police officer was shot. We are sad for his family, especially. That being said, what was the use of that huge event yesterday? The cost of that event could have fed, housed, and/or provided health care for quite a number of the citizens here in Seattle that are suffering from the effects of our poor economy. Wouldn't caring for the citizens he protected be more honoring than that spectacle? |

DRAMA/JUSTICE/HOLY COW
My roommate is at Harborview with a friend who's about to go into surgery, and he just texted me that the suspect from the police shooting on Halloween was apprehended by the police and shot and is at Harborview now, so the whole hospital is on lockdown!!! Apparently they acted on a tip and went to the guy's house and he drew a gun, so they shot him. |

Lost luggage
I actually had a lot to write. But the airport lost my luggage so I have no work uniform or laptop. I miss the both. Fortunately, I have my iPhone for reading, a house for cleaning, and a brand new psp go from work for playing. I'm downloading chains of Olympus demo right now for my go. I'm pretty excited. That game looks amazing. I wish I had won a ps3, but a go is generous. Also generous, this full fridge I have. I'm making myself some lunch as we speak. Chicken and carrots. Now it's back to diet time. I had this huge rant about this too, about how fucking hard it is to lose 30 pounds, but if I type that all on my iPhone my fingers will gain me thirty. Because they'll be so muscular. Mmmm. Muscularity. Toronto was amazing. Hung around with some awesome people, made a lot of friends. Got called out by my roomate. His name is Bryan and he's awesome. He did it in such a steller way too, all I could do was love him for it. And then wake him up at midnight and put a mustache on him. And take a picture. What a nice guy. I think the most important thing we take from the videos, the talks, and the music is the feeling that we get from it. The wholeness, the completeness, the author can convey this in words as a pipe, getting delivered to us. So that's what I try to convey. I know people won't remember half of what I say, but if I can simply run their feelings parellel to me, like two trains speeding together to the same destination. To do that, my feelings, along with the rythms I am using to direct the interaction must be so sharp, so unstifled, there is no other option. They must be conveyed. The richness , the texture of skin, must by conveyed by the submodalities of my words as a vessel. It seems to make sense. Because when are you in state? Are you in state watching csi? No, your in state when you're constantly stretching who you are. When you are personally pushing your boundries so far you might pop like a pin pressing in a baloon. We much always be stretching our edge like this. Not thinking about how we already are, but thinking about how we will, what habits we will cultivate and change knowing this, being assured of this knowledge -- Post From My iPhone |

Seafood Restaurant
Hello, My brother is visiting (he's from Florida) and he wants me to take him to a good seafood place. I am vegan so I am unaware of such places in the city. I live in Queen Anne but have a car so anyplace is okay. Downtown is a plus so I can show him stuff down there. What's your favorite? Thanks |

King County web team fail
The group that manages the official King County web sites has apparently retired it's longstanding metrokc.gov domain to replace it with kingcounty.gov, which is all well and good. It's a better name, anyway. But what they've done is redirect ALL requests for the old host names to a useless dumping ground instead of just aliasing the old names over the new ones. This is what they have done:  Why is this incredibly stupid and improperly done? Say you have any number of bookmarks or embedded tools (say, mobile applications–iPhone or other) that aim at http://tripplanner.metrokc.gov. That now arbitrarily dumps you on http://www.kingcounty.gov/About/metrokc.aspx rather than forward you to the matching URL on the new host on http://tripplanner.kingcounty.gov/. This applies to all of these in the chart above. Who on Earth approved this stupid way to do it? No one just “retires” and kills off a major domain name, let alone one so old and embedded all over who knows where. All you’ve done is now break all prior internet connectivity to various parts of the county’s web infrastructure. You also did no favors to search engine optimization and Google searches for the county, either. If you're in King County please e-mail them at: http://info.kingcounty.gov/about/contact/default.aspxTo let them know what a bone head move this is. |
