That's right folks -- I'm Back in Ballard!
Yeah, y'all can only wish you lived in Ballard. Me, I'm living the dream, baby, the DREAM!
I got the Majestic Bay to the south, the library to the west, and Quizno's to the east, all within walking distance. To the north of is a little piece of nowhereland called Mountlake Terrace that can blow me.
Ballard, y'all! I can go over to Todd or Kirk and Word's any time I want, and throw rocks at their windows. I can buy the new Franz Ferdinand from Sonic Boom (walking distance) or get a iced mocha from Tully's (walking distance) or hop on the bus and be downtown in 15. And if they ever build the monorail--that's right, walking distance.
However, nothing's ever perfect. My phone connection in the new place is hinky at best, so this'll be the last update until I figure out what's wrong. (I'll be lucky if this entry even posts.) Hopefully, we're talking days and not a week.
And if you're someone In The Know, I'll send out the new address and phone number shortly.
Peace Out.

Posted by: Scott at June 3, 2004 02:39 PMI spent way more time than I should've, trying to come up with some sort of rimshot for your first comment, and the best I could do was: "You live in Six Flags Magic Mountain?" Which is lame, of course.
You're in N'awlins, right? Does it bug you when people refer to it as "N'awlins"?
Posted by: Kza at June 5, 2004 02:26 PMI was down in New Orleans last summer and not ONCE did I hear someone refer to it as "N'awlins." I did see a tall man with giant breasts and electrical tape over the nipples, but thank the sweet heavens I was too ... out of it ... to be affected on any real level.
