My computer has been off at the Mac shop in Seattle for nearly two weeks. I won't be able to pick it up till this weekend since I'll have a purpose to go to the very northern tip of Seattle for more than for a freakin' laptop given all that traffic--and my unnecessary adding to it--the rising cost of gasoline, not to mention environmental damage!

In Seattle I'm gonna hang with my sis Jesse's bf's mom, eat some good grub, and possibly (most likely :) go shopping at Ikea. Excited! Never been! Today I'm going to get my keys to my on-campus apartment, check it out and decide what sort of small furniture I should add to it from Ikea. I've already looked through the entire catalog (2 hours of reading!) and am ready!
