Bruce Lee, the master
Here we are on night 3, Monday being Twin Peaks, tuesday was downtown Seattle and the underground Italian restaurant. It was cool, only about 10 table and the chef would walk around and talk to people, reminded me of Artie from Sopranos. We also went to an old crazy hospital that is now the Amazon World Headquarters, pretty cool, it supposed to be haunted. Today we set out to Lakeview Cemetery, home of Nordstrom, a few Generals and Bruce and Brandon Lee.

A Mountain
Well I was thinking about breaking this down into numerous post, but lets just make it one large ass blog. Of course all these photos will be uploaded when i get back.
During the descent into Seattle I notice one of the coolest sights I have seen in a long time mountains, and the Mt. Rainier, the stratovolcano. I knew at some point in this trip I needed to see it, a better view at least. On the trip to the hotel, through the winding roads I saw bits and pieces of the monster coming through the trees, but never a good view.
I arrived at the Larkspur Landing suites about 3:30, ordered some food, talk to Damian and decided to set out around 4:30 to find my mountain amongst mountains.
I thought that my best bet would be to go up, up and up, until I could find a break and finally get a good picture of it. I did make it up some hills and did see city from a distance, then crossed Lake Washington, went downtown and back out again. It was a fun hour and a half in the car, but still no volcano.
As I was about to give up and well start to pay attention to the bitching GPS, I had a glimpse of hope and it came with a road sign.
I again became quickly frustrated to find myself in the same position, only glimpses. I traveled for another hour looking through tree lines, over houses and through people. I did find that what seemed to be prime mountain property was in fact the run down , bad part of town. Me, some Vietnamese and the local Spanish gang all roamed the streets, some selling themselves and some looking for a view.
Finally as the sun began to fall, I saw salvation. It came from a small apartment complex, not the nicest place in the world, i actually didn't fell comfortable getting out of the car, but I had to. There it was, in its greatness, sitting front in center before a picnic table and a stationary grill. So why is it this little rundown community has the best view of Rainier?
I have a lot more pictures, but right now I am going to sit down with a local best, Henry Weinhard's Blue Boar Ale and watch the new season opener of Dexter.

The British are IT
Seems as though, lately I have been giving my time to BBC. I religiously watch Top Gear, which is probably one of the best, funny, infromative luxory car shows out. I also enjoy Hell's Kitchen, their documentaries and a new show called Skins.
Lets step back a few years and let me admit to my following of Dawson's Creek. Some reason I fell for this show and stood by every wednesday to watch Pacey break up with Joey and Joey give Dawson the blue balls.
Now back to Skins, which is the British version of Dawsons Creek, but with
sex, drugs, drinking, nudity and swearing. I dont know if it's my attempt at
being a teenager again, but this show was really good. I would suggest it to everyone, the first season is only 10 episodes and very easy to watch. It is currently playing on BBC America, but I would download it to keep from seeing the edited version. BBC plays lots of stuff that would be censored here, but they do block out fuck, cunt and frontal nudity.
Lastly I would like to make a category for most inventive/creative/startling end to a show. I would like to put Skins in my top 3 for, to me, the most off the wall and inventive way to end a season. Mind you I have not finished Sopranos yet, so it may be there too and somehow I have managed not to hear the ending. So watch skins for its British humor, drug usage, nudity and Top 3 TV Shows ending of all times, according to myself.

Google Talk
I know some of you use it, but there are some that dont. I suggest you do, it would make things a lot easier for me. Its built into your gmail, you can download the program or even get it on your phone. So go do it now, life would be easier.

You have to give this movie a chance and whatever you do, don't base your rental decision on his past movies. Uwe actually got me to sit through an entire film here. This movie crosses every line and doesn't hold back, but its not sloppy, thrown together comedy. Come at this with an open mind, dark sense of humor and the ability to laugh at stupid sh$%t. The acting flowed together, the plot held up and of course there is senseless violence. If your looking for a "scary movie" or "not another teen movie", this isn't it, but be prepared for whats inside.
