Now You See Me...

I'm back in Moscow, but not for long.

We got home Sunday afternoon, had a nice, quiet evening with the beasts, who were thrilled to have people to drape themselves over again. The boy was very confused, though. He was so overstimulated with our return that we couldn't look at him without being chewed on.

Seattle was lovely. I got to visit Pike Place, as well as buy books and underwear and stationery and all the stuff I can't get in this stupid, podunk place. Well, I can buy that stuff online, but I can't just browse or get the sale items like I can if I'm actually in the same city as the store. And the food was lovely. All of it. Every. Single. Meal. Whether room service (yay!) or eaten at a restaurant.

We were on the 31st floor of the Westin, with a view straight down 5th Ave. Gorgeous. Even when housekeeping set the alarm for 5am in retaliation for a complaint, the city was gorgeous. I sat and watched it sleep for about 45 minutes before I finally got sleepy again myself. (We did mention, quite casually, to the front desk that the alarm had gone off at 5am, and since it was our 3rd night in the room and we hadn't set it we were "a bit surprised." Foolish, foolish housekeeper. If we were annoyed enough to complain about your not making the bed in the first place, we'll be annoyed enough to complain about the alarm.)

And now that I've been home for a day and 1/2, it's time to leave again. I'm off for a night in Portland with friends I haven't seen since I moved here eighteen months ago. (I realized this weekend that at this time two years ago, I hadn't even thought about graduate school, and in six months, I'll have my degree. Whoosh time flies.) I'm having dinner with them and with some friends who are moving to NYC (which means I won't see them for a long, loong time.) We're going to have really really good Thai food and I'm gonna get an acupuncture treatment from someone who isn't a freak and then I'm gonna go to Powells.

And then I'm going to come home and work for 5 days straight so I can be ready to go with Macbeth rehearsals and DNA rehearsals and finally, finally, the mask making project I'm doing this semester.
