Ok, so this is gonna be the home of my blog in Seattle. I'm very excited and since most of the stuff I'll be talking about and posting in here is new to me, it'll also be new to you! You get to share my journey in the Emerald City. :-) I'm typing this right now from the office of WorldOnePerformance . I've never really tried to keep a blog before, but since I cancelled Myspace back in April I'll be able to waste my time doing this instead of stalking people on there..... jk.
My plan is to update this thing daily with my experiences of getting to know this wonderful city. Of course being a huge foodie I hope to have a lot of postings about restaurants, coffee spots, bars, lounges, etc.. I already saw a cup cake spot that looked so dope, but it was closed.
Today, Dan and I hit up downtown to take a peak into Qwest Field, where the Seahawks play. I'm not a Seahawks fan yet, but my roommates are trying very hard to make me one, I guess I'll come around. One thing I assured them is that there is no way in Hell that I'll ever wear a football jersey! I took a photo from the steps in front of Qwest.
We ate at Elysian Fields across the street from Qwest, I had the Bolognese. And surprisingly, it was quite delicious for brewery-restaurant lunch food. Could this be my Stadium Brewery of Seattle?? I liked how the pasta was of the Orecchiette type which you don't ever really see. It actually goes very well with a meat sauce, when usually a long thin noodle like the ubiquitous spaghetti or linguine would normally fill the role.
We sat near the patio so I could observe the Blue Angels practicing for their demonstrations this weekend at the SeaFair . I'm very excited to check them out. The last time I saw a Blue Angels demo was at FleetWeek 2000 in San Francisco, when I used to live in the Bay.
Since we're on the topic of food right now, I have to mention the cheap and delicious dinner Dan and I had last night at Talarico's in West Seattle. There is nothing like a cold, local-brewed root beer accompanied by a humongous $5 slice of pizza. I ordered a West Side slice which was topped with pepperoni, mushrooms, mozzarella, and marinara. It was the perfect thickness and the sauce really was delish. It's a cool bar atmosphere and the cougar sitting next to Dan (a 7.1292 on my rating scale) was discussing the current state of Major League Baseball with him for quite a while. ::Sigh:: If only I had an encyclopedic knowledge of sports like my friend, I would've been in like Flynn. Oh well, I'll be going to that spot frequently I know it, and maybe i too will have a late-30'something lass to gab with.
Hopefully, we'll be able to go see Step Brothers tonight. I've heard nothing but positive reviews of this movie. If you saw it let me know what you thought of it.
