Time Machine

since this is a new blog and i've actually experienced some interesting things over the past few months, i've decided to post a re-cap to get those of you don't know me up to speed.

ok.  so, we discovered an absinthe not yet regulated by the FDA which contains a higher than normal thujone level.
what is thujone, you ask?
Made in western montana, Ridge Distillery Absinthe is as good as any vintage european bottle i've had and is legal to purchase here in the US.

in february, my girlfriend Tulpa Black and i took our first train to Seattle, WA to see an awesome band called Murder By Death.  We fell in love with seattle and never wanted to leave.  i see us spending more time there in the near future.  we hit the Pike Place Market and the Seattle Aquarium.  of course, we had a lot of starbucks.  we were able to afford it by staying in a hostel called the Green Turtle.
i was a bit leery about staying in a communal hostel situation but it turned out to be one of the most enjoyable aspects of our trip.  i wonder who got the "going bananas" banana bread we left in the community fridge?
we got a chance to explore the Capitol Hill area on our last day in Seattle and found an awesome shop called Mishu.  i bought a fleece jacket that looks like it was made in Lothlorien and Tulpa got a top and a skirt.  pretty steampunk stuff, for the most part. and all of their clothes are designed by the owner and made in india.
Oh, yeah... and i found the word 'cunt' in a game of Wurdle.  that was pretty exciting.
