Time:

?

Money:

$12, lunch, back at the regular place (which is a good thing, I think.)
$4, coffee (duh) from Starbucks (also duh.)
$14, French toast and a shake from Cozy Soup and Burger (it was good, but expensive....)
$11, ticket to see A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints at the Angelika.

More interesting things:

Shared the train with a naval officer in... I think it's Winter Blues? with the black jacket and trousers.

Shared the sidewalk with a bus. I'm not sure why exactly the driver felt the need to take up some of my space when he had all of University Place to work with, but at least he refrained from running anyone over.

Passed a brace - well, okay, two - corgis. They were sort of yoked together, and they trotted along having a fabulous time.

Saw not a Dumpster train but a crane train as I waited to make my way back up here. It was weird, because it definitely sounded different from a regular train. I wonder if that's because there were only two cars?

Listened to a very drunk tourist smacking into the turnstile at the same station. Her friends - and we're talking three middle-aged Kansans or something, not 18-year-olds with fake IDs (which, by the way, doesn't work easily in this town) - made it through, and one of them offered several comments about not letting the other have any more alcohol, but after an exuberant exchange with the station attendant, the last one finally got through the gate, at which point it seemed (smelled) like Jack Daniels himself had suddenly joined us on the platform. I'm glad they were having fun.
