seattle #2 or is it 3?

so week 2 here in seattle.
it's been gorgeous this week. high 50's and 60's. it's like march in mass. i'll take it. it also hasn't rained all that much which is nice.
i'm now working at a really cool place called chaco canyon . it's a certified organic vegan and raw foods cafe and it is very cool. being certified organic means that they have to have 95% organic ingredients so that's very cool. the food is damn good and the people are really cool. and i got the job out of pure luck and determination. thank god too because i've become painfully aware that while only working in theatre was awesome for my theatrical life, it sucks trying to get any other type of job because no one understands my skills or my skills are not applicable for any normal person job.
my house is great. im getting settled in finally, making a bit of mess in my room. making food. i bought myself 4 new cookbooks from microcosm publishing and they are very cool.
this weekend bo and kaitlin are going home to montana so it's just me and derek in the house . so hopefully im going to get out and explore some and make some delicious food from one of my new cookbooks. pictures to come hopefully.
also me and bo want to start video blogging. so look out for that too.

So. Life continues to be good. It rained all day today (hard) and I walked around in it all day with work (over it). So yeah. Keep ya'll posted on that front.
Just finished watching the lion king. I had forgotten how good that movie is! I love it. Though as per usual with me I was all emotional throughout the movie and cried at tender family moments. I'm a hot mess.
So other than that I don't all that much to communicate. Just figured I would leave a little internet note for ya'll.

SEATTLE #1

so first seattle post!

seattle is cool! It's not snowy or too cold (though I am freezing all of the time!)

the house i live in now is GORGEOUS!! it's in the middle of this hill in a district called magnolia. it's really beautiful, but man, climbing up the hill is BRUTAL.
My room is slowly but surely getting organized, mostly slowly bc im lazy. but I didn't really bring that much stuff which is good for me.
Bo and his sister Kaitlin and her bf Derek are super cool and we've been playing banangrams every single night which is so much fun! we get really into it and play 4 or 5 rounds in a row. I also learned how to play this cool ass card game called 313. it's fun. and I WON my first game!
I'm getting used to sharing food (aka pooling groceries) because I'm not always so good at sharing food with people, but I'll settle into it, and I do like it because it means we get to do this bigger meals and eat together which is cool. I feel like we're a little family.
Kaitlin and Derek have two dogs, Angel and Duke ! who are the cutest things in the world. They're both mutts and rescue dogs. Angel is part great dane and pitt and possibly mastiff and she is just a love bug! she loves to snuggle and be pet and she just is the cutest thing! Duke is part rot, lab or shepard mix, he looks like a little brown bear and he's a little "saltier" as Derek says. He's a little bit less lovey and can get a little protective of Derek, but only in the way that he'll sit there and growl at you, but not do anything about it.
we don't have internet at the house yet but when i do, i want to do a video tour of the house. While I was at home I got to watch some home video's of my 5th birthday and it made me realize how much I want to take more video's of my life, because they're so much fun to watch later on!

so what else. I have my first day of work today. I applied to a website that said "jobs that matter" and I'm going to be going up to people and going door to door to fundraise for the sierra club to stop blowing the tops off of mountains to get at coal. pretty cool. the hours aren't exactly what I want and I might die being outside all the time (see above about being cold ALL THE TIME!) so we will see. I'm keeping my options open and not getting myself too worked up about anything. I'm here to relax, save money and work like a normal person. so we will see. I'll keep you posted on how it works out.

yesterday I got to go to pike place market which was super cool! this city has so much character and beauty. the mountains in the background are really quite beautiful and I'm really happy to be living here. hopefuly another update will follow soon! I must go and get ready for my first day of work! hooray!
