pearwaldorfI lied. I didn't actually go to Lola last night. We ended up getting food from the taco cart on Northgate, because on our way downtown we encountered one of those random Seattle weekend traffic jams that will totally screw any plans you may or may not have had, or at least make things really aggravating. Anybody who thinks Seattle has a world-class transit system is fucking high.

So I was at the pet superstore about a week ago and this guy said hello to me in the parking lot. (In Seattle, only the transplants or the sweet and slow say hello to complete strangers. He was one of the latter.) I looked at him like he was a complete freak, and he was totally sad and confused. As I walked into the store, I just kept thinking, Fuck. I've become one of those people, the ones that regard initiating conversation as a hostile act. The Portland me would never have done that, and it made me very disappointed.
