Bellevue’s Lincoln Square
Used to going out to “areas” of town to find bars like Capitol Hill, Fremont or Belltown, Nick and I tried to do the same thing in Bellevue. After driving around looking for awhile (and making a side trip through the millionaire mansions on Medina), we ended up at Lincoln Square. Lincoln Square is basically the entertainment center for downtown Bellevue and reflects Bellevue’s character or lack thereof quite well.… read more “Bellevue’s Lincoln Square”

Frightening video of me taken accidentally (I was trying to take pictures and didn’t realize my camera was in video mode):
I thought about stopping with this haircut, but thought my employer may be unhappy with such a decision:
Here’s another:

Work
The word “work” has so many different meanings to different people that it is useless without context. For me, work has metamorphosised from a damnation into an exultation.

Wolverine, Sex Drive, Bigfoot
Tonight I saw Wolverine: It’s a completely garbage movie.‚ The last couple of weeks my sex drive has been MIA.‚ Not sure what happened to it.‚ Maybe diet, lifestyle, time of year, or something completely different.‚ Driving home on I-90 my speed kept varying wildly between way too fast and normal speed.‚ On one of my normal speed sections I was passed by an SUV going much faster than me followed by a cop.‚ … read more “Wolverine, Sex Drive, Bigfoot”
