Well, I’ve got one more day of work ahead of me, then I’ll be heading back up to Anchorage for the weekend — woohoo! I currently have no clue quite how the weekend is going to work out…it’s definitely going to be interesting to see what happens. I know I’ve got the wedding on Saturday, but aside from that, things are pretty hazy. Guess I’ll just have to play it by ear and see how it all works out.
Last friday Chad, Rick and I went out to Polly Esther’s Culture Club, a 70’s/80’s-focused dance club down by the Space Needle to celebrate my 1 year anniversary. Neither Rick or I had been there before, so we figured it would be worth checking out. End result — fun place, and good music, but too expensive to become a regular habit ($10.00 cover!?). Made for an entertaining night, though, and will be worth stopping by from time to time.
The past couple days I got to spend some time when I was off work with Prairie, who I’d met through Yahoo! Chat some months ago. She goes to school out in Ellensburg, and as she had some free time between the end of college and her boyfriend returning to town, she came out to visit and see Seattle. Made for a fun few days, babbling about everything from Alaska to musicals to various books, and she let me borrow her copy of Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness (the book that the movie Apocalypse Now was based on) to read — I’ll dive into that once I’m done with Gödel, Escher, Bach.
All in all, it’s been a good week so far. Tomorrow night Laura’s going to be coming out, we’re planning on hitting the Down Under to see a DJ she knows, then she’ll crash here so that she can give me a ride to the airport Friday morning. From there, it’s off to Anchorage — and on that note, it’s time for me to start packing!
