Super Fag: Fly Boy Adventures!

It's been a good few days since my last post and not a whole lot has happened, although some things have indeed occurred. I think we left off on Wednesday when i had to change rooms in the hostel. This seemingly painless task was made kind of painful by a rather abrupt girl who works at the hostel. I had to sort of pry information out of her as to the procedure while she seemed pretty annoyed that someone would expect, i don't know, hospitality in a hostel. Weird, so i gave in my key and was told to come back at two. Which proved to be an issue because you need a key to get back in and i hadn't been given a new one. Oh well... I spent my hours away from the hostel walking into Fremont. This kool area just north across a bridge that's know for being arty and very pretty. It sure was. There's like a different sculpture or installation on every corner, the buildings are all nice brickwork and it's very leafy and green. I think it's also the home of Google, or they at least have an office building there. Fremont is probably most known for the Fremont Troll, a large concrete troll that was built under the bridge and was used in the film '10 Things I Hate About You,' which i guess was set in the area.

My new room is nice, the art isn't as interesting and i've had the same room mates all week, although haven't spoken to them all that much.

Thursday was my Birthday! As many of you would probably know. It was kind of weird being all alone but i spent a good portion of time, credit and battery power talking to parents and friends which was super nice! I took myself out to see the Experience Music Project (EMP and also the science fiction museum that's in the same building.)

Although kind of short on content the building itself is very interesting and the North/West tunnel, which is actually a hall timeline-ing the progression of music produced in this area, is really informative. One of the most exciting moment in the science fiction section was seeing the Donatello suit. Although i was slightly disappointed to learn that it was the suit used in the third live action movie which i haven't seen but is by all accounts dreadful. Side note: did everyone know there was a new live action movie coming out next year or maybe the one after??? Yay! I spent the afternoon in Borders reading Scott Pilgrim comics (the last one is released on the 20th!) then eating Thai food and i took myself out for a beer in the evening. Below is a picture of my birthday cake. It's actually a cake batter flavoured frappe but it was none the less enjoyable.

So funny story... I have no idea what i did on Friday, I know I woke up and did stuff but there aren't any photos and that's how i remember things... Oh, i did go and see Inception on Friday night and very much enjoyed it, please see it.

Details are kind of blurry for the latter part of this week because i've spent a lot of time sitting and writing stuff or reading in bookstores without making purchases or just strolling around enjoying the city. And that's pretty much what the weekend was, except for Saturday morning where i had a wicked craving for pancakes and when they proved illusive endeavoured on a massive hunt to find them and was duly satisfied! I also visited the Bite of Seattle festival which was being held in the Seattle Centre. Massive crowds, bands, free Dr. Pepper and lots of food stalls. Today i ate from the pan-asian type stall and had fried rice some kind of cabbage noodle thing and a chicken kebab. One of my favourite things it burnt meat on a stick at festivals, can't be beaten. I have some random photos from this week including: inflatable salt water plumped chickens floating...

And a wall of gum!

That's all...

Josh... (Justin is good and having fun in San Francisco and planning to camp in Oregon in the coming week/s, i'm sure if he were here and i told him what i was doing he'd say to say hi!)
