Things Seattle is famous for:

-Boeing Airplanes!
-Ridiculously Expensive Gourmet Coffee!
-The Software Borg AKA Microsoft!
- Crazy Rioting!

Sometimes I really wonder if half the people even know what they're protesting. During the WTO debacle, idiots were running around in the streets looking for a chance to start looting. I guess the problem with many socialist and non-conformist elements is that there's no unity - you have your non-violent folks protesting right next to the violent, rabid anti-government wack-jobs. Too bad the police doesn't really care about the difference... if there's a crowd of people, you can bet the concussion grenades or cans of tear gas will tossed at 'em soon.

Is it just me or do the words "law enforcement intelligence" a blatant oxymoron? As long as the pigs keep pulling me over for looking Asian, it is.

On a happier note, Shiv drove down to see me. Having a specific day of the week always set aside for the two of us... we've had it for a long time. It wasn't always Mondays (that changed with our schedules), but knowing I'll always see her a certain day brings a comfortable routine to a life that's devoid of anything regular except for church stuff.

I cooked chicken curry stew and we ate it over rice. It was a nice day, so we took a little walk around my neighborhood. I guess the advantage of living in suburban hell is relative safety... even if I still get strange looks from my overwhelmingly white neighbors. "Oh my goodness... it's a colored person walking around!"

Oooh, Kicks has a website! What a great store... it's like evil, though. It has the power to suck all my $$$ away... *drool*

T minus 8 days until a decision about Japan...
