Sunday 12/27: Free poetry


This structure was built to house free poetry. I don't know who does stuff like this, but I love it. Ballard is my true Seattle love, but Wallingford is growing on me too.

Saturday 12/26: Marysville travel

Anna, Mei Li, and I spotted this near the Mexican place we went to for lunch. I guess these are the travel hot spots in Marysville.

Friday 12/25: Merry Christmas, Emily!

She let me sing lots of Christmas carols, even though she likes our usual songs better.

Thursday 12/24: Frosty windshield

Waiting for the windshield to defrost so we could begin our Christmas Eve tradition of driving around and looking at lights.

Wednesday 12/23: Slurpees


Joe and Abhinav making slurpees.

Tuesday 12/22: REI waterfall

This store makes me wish I were a more outdoorsy person.

Monday 12/21: New boots


My new rain/snow boots. I am very excited about them.

Sunday 12/20: Two by two

I like these winter leaves.

Saturday 12/19: Patchy moss

I like moss.

Friday 12/18: Hedge animals

Anna, Mei Li, and I had a Shining night where we watched the movie and discussed the book, so the next morning it didn't surprise me when this protruding hedge arm caught my eye on the way to the bus. Sure, it looks innocent now, but it is just waiting for the right moment to scratch you up!

Thursday 12/17: Floating bottle


My comforter became a make-shift ocean for this bottle to float on.

Wednesday 12/16: Nutcracker

A few years ago Mei Li and I were waiting for a table to open up at the Cheesecake Factory, so we used that time to do a photo scavenger hunt for Nutcrackers around the city. These guys always bring back memories of that night for me.

Tuesday 12/15: Sasquatch sighting


Apparently Sasquatch is feeling festive this holiday season.

Monday 12/14: Santa ornament


He is guarding the mini Christmas tree in my living room.

Sunday 12/13: Snow!


I have been waiting for this! The snow didn't make its way up to Seattle today but I have high hopes that it will eventually.

Saturday 12/12: Frames

Justin and I have very different tastes in art, but I do like this arrangement near his bedroom door.

Friday 12/11: Polar bears and milk bunnies

These chocolate animals at the Confectionary are so cute!

Thursday 12/10: Lyon


I visited one of our housing projects on lunch today after Sarah described the fun courtyard set-up and Ian mentioned a cool display involving old keys. But I really liked this brick wall and the sunlight on this plant. It was a satisfying lunch time activity.

Wednesday 12/9: Pike Place glass


Beautiful glass display outside Pike Place market. And you really can't get a better backdrop than the Puget Sound.

Tuesday 12/8: Top of Pioneer Square

You get the best view of the tops of these buildings on clear winter days when the trees are bare. I love all the different colors and styles.

Monday 12/7: Christmas diner

This was my favorite part of this very expensive Christmas town.

Sunday 12/6: Santa and cactus


Santa hiding out in this cactus plant. Mei Li's family puts their decorations in some unexpected places and I like that.

Saturday 12/5: Snowflakes on red wall

These snowflakes have been up on Justin's wall since his Christmas party last year and now they are finally back in season.

Friday 12/4: Pokemon game

Jessi and Rain engaged in a very exciting Pokemon battle at our holiday party. Jessi kind of looks like an illusion and Rain looks like he has a black eye. I think that means Jessi won.

Thursday 12/3: Waste not


An awesome local art display that I spotted in the alley behind Elliot Bay Books. One of the artists (or at least an assistant, he said he helped put it together) was there taking photos also.

Wednesday 12/2: First frost

This means it is too cold. But I always like the first frost of the year.

Tuesday 12/1: Christmas lights

My neighbors have the right idea.

Monday 11/30: Holiday specials board


I love the holidays! I can't get enough Christmas.

Sunday 11/29: Mushroom lovers

Mushrooms are so cool. I wish they tasted better.
