The Seattle Aquarium was absolutely phenomenal – one of the best I’ve ever been in, and I’m an aquarium connoisseur, and just so totally different from East Coast aquariums, which was a breath of fresh air. It’s much larger than it seems from the outside, beautifully designed and flowing well, and full of things I’d…

hot dogs everywhere: (seattle, wa)
Where: The Frankfurter, and T-Mobile Park What: A Seattle dog, of course With whom: Trav. Why: For Project Heartburn, eating a hot dog in every state. Grade: N/A. Look, the Seattle dog is not for me – I hate onions. I liked the peppers and jalapeños, I think the cream cheese is actually a GREAT…

The Chihuly Glass Garden was so stunningly lovely, so powerful, that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to cry or explode in a million pieces. Maybe both.
life list: baltimore orioles @ seattle mariners

Right, so. I have a blog. I also have a therapist. She’s new. I’ll call her LS, because that’s her name. It has been a rough mental health year for me because besides, you know, a fucking disgusting racist xenophobic sexual assuaulter being elected President, both my longtime prescriber and therapist BOTH retired. The last…

college baseball: long beach state dirtbags @ unc
One. Oh, right, I have a blog. shep. and I went out to our first Heels baseball game of 2017 on Friday, because we’ve long been obsessed with the Long Beach State baseball team, one of the few teams in the NCAA who has a different official nickname / mascot than the rest of the…
