For real. I bought a radiator-style heater online a few days ago and I really need it to show up before the fish tank solidifies. However, I hear heating oil prices are coming down....

Ha, I also read it as "pro-democrat" so I guess we agree on that. Whether I can adequately communicate that at 1am is apparently arguable....

Upon further review, Kim recommended this show in the comments of my 'Monday Best Bets' post, which illustrates two things: I don't pay enough attention to the comments, and Kim knows her shit....

I didn't forget about Battles. I was going to say something like "some people really love Battles, but I do not," but decided against it....

Love him, but not unconditionally (so, not totes then, I guess): http://seattlest.com/2007/09/14/rick_steves_blo.php...

Wow, it is Rancho Bravo. Good one, Dan. And I live in Wallingford which might be why it gets so much shit here. Just about all the neighborhood's shining stars have been already named here: Als, Wi...

Saw this article and loved it. Reminded me of when Seattlest Tom settled some of my fears of a plastic urban world by suggesting that someday mom&pops will move into the "retail at the street" portio...

How long does the whole thing take? Say I've only got 2 hours to devote to Democracy on Saturday--Will it be enough?...

Alright, alright. I changed it....

Audrey, you don't buy a fleet of salt trucks to keep them sitting in the garage 363 days of the year. As soon as the business lost due to snow and ice surpasses the cost of the equipment we'll get so...

Wallingford and the U District are covered in ice and I almost had to wear my hiking boots to get to the bus stop. Downtown: nothing....

It's way at the back of the room so you can't really tell. Could be more of a "gift basket" than a "holiday basket" now that I think about it and realize it was there way before the actual holidays....

Funny, I missed the new American Gladitors while on my Sunday constitutional. New resolution: no more walks! I can't risk the time away from the TV. ...

It was slow, but it looked like there were some obvious ways to pick the pace up a bit. Better timing with the lights and a more aggressive hand on the throttle would help a lot....

I know, right? It's a secret. http://www.lakeunionwatertaxi.com/schedule.html...

I've been meaning to read Dave Neiwert's Strawberry Days: How Internment Destroyed a japanese American Community. The poignant story of a Japanese American community torn apart by racism and WWII int...

That soccer shop closed? Dammit!...

Awesome--a reader who has seen the play. A woman sits down with her husband and tells him that no, he can't have his girlfriend and their son move in with them, and he can turn her beloved gay cousin...

Good call, Comte, although I'd back a return engagement of the Infernal Noise Brigade or maybe these guys....

Baliiff, that, I will give you. It occupied a place somewhere between Evening Magazine and that naked godess on public access television, which is sadly a place that doesn't exist anymore. That's wh...
