What I Learned Last Night, Jan 23, Seattle

What I Learned Last Night.
1. My apt, although Persian lingerie pink, is certainly not as intoxicating as Scout's, apt 402, Scout throws a Go-Bama Inebriation Inauguration Party complete with sugar in both alcohol (C2H5OH) and cake form (C12H22O11 ).

2. Zig Zag Café is a Seattle Rite of Passage.
This Saturday a complied list of partiers, I mean Queen Anne Queen View apartment female dwellers, including Kelly, Mary and I are planning an outing to Zig Zag, Mary has just moved to town, from San Fran. Zig Zag is an obvious choice.. As it IS a Seattle institution there is NO DOUBT, and Mary must certainly get this checked-off of her list of "Rites of Passage in Seattle ". Murray, the barkeep’s, cocktails are infamous and Taa Die-Faaa….Certainly everyone has a zigzag story to tell…I’ll keep mine short - Mine being an Zig Zag evening of sparkling wine ending in the bachelor pad apt above Zig Zag, with a champagne carbonation CO2 contraption and thwarting and downright avoiding the advances of the tango dancer inventing this physics defying carbonation device (really it IS genius! I give him cred…) and inhabitant of the apartment. He is a lovely tango dancer though, and enjoying bubbly is a plus, but, me, I’m just another chick he’s brought up to this intoxicating apartment, situation. Errmmm.. no. I’m outta here.
But back to Mary and outing with Mary and Kelly. Only problem with ZigZag as an evening out with Queen Anne dwellers, is that unfortunately ZigZag requires driving, therefore no stumble back to apt… Kelly did suggest Sully’s (walk able), which I have not been but to. And there is Targy's as well, but that just makes Zig Zag that much more appealing!

3. Points of discussion for an evening out with those you do not know too well from your semi-shared living quarters include:
-Strategies on getting apartment manager to let us have rooftop access.
-Strategies on getting that #2 bus up the hill during the snow storm.
-Removing Top Pot Dough Nuts from the Queen Anne Hill because my rear end is growing down the back of my legs in such a way that I soon will not have to bend my knees to sit down.
-getting Targy's to carry a decent bottle of red. I mean really... And getting that frat guy with the Coors lite to not spill it on my leg when bartender is making last call. This making Zig Zag that much more appealing
-getting an apt wide- wireless Internet account

4. Yes Sarah maybe I can meet you up later tonight after this guy sends me home early. He apparently went for a bike ride today. This is wrong for me. Lemme share a quote, made famous by Sarah, and now infamous in my circle… "My favorite thing to do…Is NOT hiking.” Contrary to popular belief I like my men sans bike. I think I like them white and pudgy.

5. A good general rule: do not hang with a vegan when you proudly wear politically incorrect clothing items, in this case a rabbit fur coat, a recycled vintage 1970’s fashion. Lovely cropped coat with leather trim at the cuffs, snap button-up front, and leather trim defining the waist, with large collar and puffy sleeves. Really awesome. There is an argument to be made for this coat being politically and socially forgivable, as I did buy it secondhand at Goodwill, and it is late 1970’s vintage. It’s recycled; what more do you want? Taa Die Faaa!! Anyway regardless, if you’re into fur coats of any sort, even if recycled vintage from the 70’s and from Goodwill, you probably shouldn’t hang out with vegans. Who go for bike rides.

6. The only constant is change! Good bye my surrogate boyfriend Brenda. Wish you had a Y chromosome cuz we’d be perfect together.

7. Smashbox lip color "Starlite". It has changed my life.
