    • New glasses are on the way So I've got new eyeglasses on the way. Rimless, fairly small and rectangular, with very thin silver bows, and they come with a set of clip-on shades that match the shape of the lenses exactly. Prairie assures me that they look incredibly good and nearly disappear from my face, not nearly as dominating as my current pair.
    • Rent As mentioned briefly last week, Saturday's evening entertainment was wandering down a couple blocks to the Paramount Theatre to see Rent.

    • Feelin' hot! Hot! Hot! 'I see,' I said, and studied her for a moment. 'We'll just have to leave that to mystery then, won't we?'
    • Bumbershoot tips Kellan asked if I had any tips for the rest of the Bumbershoot weekend. My response kept getting longer and longer, so I figured I might as well toss it up as a post of its own, rather than hiding it in the comment thread.

    • No, really, it’s innocent! When my 12 year old daughter asked for this for her birthday, I kind of wondered if she was too old for it, but she seems to LOVE it. Her friends love it too! They play for hours in her bedroom with this great toy. They really seem to like the special effects it offers (the sound effects and vibrating). My oldest daughter (17) really likes it too! I reccomend this for all children.
    • Smileys are back! I had this hack installed a while ago, and had managed to kill it -- well, it's back! Now, when I or anyone posting a comment types in a 'smiley' code (for instance, ':)') it will be replaced by the corresponding 'smiley' (in this case, ':)').
    • Suddenly cab drivers seem sane As the city bus drove down the street, two men in the back got into a fight. Concerned for the safety of himself and his other passengers, the driver pulled over to the side of the road and had everyone -- including the two men in the altercation -- evacuate the bus. Everyone did, save one person.

    • Suicide isn’t painless This event has been garnering national media attention not because of the suicide attempt itself, but because of the depressingly horrendous way that people here reacted to it.
    • Kev, drama queens, and Bumbershoot First things first -- my bro was in town! On his way north he stopped off in Seattle for a couple days, and we got to hang out and visit Saturday and Sunday evenings.
