Rose City Comic-Con 2013

I saw that the people that run Emerald City Comic-Con were going to be running a Comic-Con in Portland. I thought it would be fun to volunteer at another convention and get me out of town for a couple days.

At the last minute I posted that I could take someone with me in my truck. Someone from the message boards did respond. So I was able to pick up someone on my way down to Portland. Being that the person was in Kent, I was able to pick up some Jamba Juice and oatmeal on my way.

 

The way back from Portland to Seattle was fraught with rain and a tired driver. Some adrenaline from bad weather kept me going for a ways but then I had to pull off the road for some sleep. It took longer to get home than I was hoping but I still made it to work the next day

Matthews Beach

On Friday, I went to a new beach to meet my friend Sheri. Matthews Beach has a nice lawn but the water is not as good as at Madison Beach. The aquatic weeds need some serious pruning. I guess it is the end of the season so that will wait until next year.

 

Scary spider in the Men’s room was spinning up some food.

After the beach, we went to the Ravenna Alehouse. Couple beers and a chicken sandwich for myself. French dip for Sheri. I liked the food.

Madison Beach

On Thursday I went out to Madison Beach Park. I was getting some sun when I contacted Emily. While texting with Emily, Glen called. Made plans to meet Emily at my place. Possibly going to Bremerton which means changing plans with Emily. Glen called me back and said not to worry about Bremerton.

Emily and I went to the beach and got some sun. I did some swimming. Drinking beers at the beach is fun. Emily made a to go bottle of Greyhound (vodka and grapefruit). Pretty good fun at the beach.

After the beach, we went to the Highline on Broadway. I had two good drinks. One was Spire Cider and the other was the Duchess. Then we went to a Salvadorian restaurant. Good Mahi Mahi tacos with some other food that I do not remember the name.

Having fun at the beach with a friend is much better than going alone.

Upcoming Posts

I need to work on a bunch of posts. Maybe if I make a list, that will compel me to work on some of them.
1. Tahiti part 3
2. Dolphins
3. Birthday Night 2010
4. Highway 1
5. Avenue of the Giants
6. Oregon Coast
7. August 1
8. Work
9. Apartment
Plus some random ones that I do not want to mention right now. The hardest one that I think to write will be the Tahiti one. Too many things that I want to say that I can not bring myself to talk about yet. But then again, the longer I do not talk about it the harder talking about it becomes.
Yes, the vague musings of my life are horrible.

Updating is a little slow right now

I have a lot of blogs I have been wanting to write. I have been a little slow on getting them done since I got back to Seattle. I have redone one three times now but keep losing my work. I do not know why I had not saved the post. I probably had not done that much work on it.

One of the things I wanted to do with this time I am in Seattle is work on my writing. Now that I am writing again, I have a lot of years to make up. I hope to get some writing done this weekend. As well as during the furlough week. I need to finish up my vacation posts.

Since I got back from vacation, I have slept a lot. I have watched a lot of movies via Netflix. Netflix streaming through my PS3 is an evil I should not allow myself.

Yet I am not working on the posts as much as I should be doing.

Did my power port on my computer break today? Am I going to have to buy a new computer this year? SHIT!

5th Envelope plus Envelope 4B

I forgot about Envelope 4B. I opened it at the right time. Chichen Ista tour looks great. I have been wanting to see some Mayan Ruins for a long time. I want to wait on confirming those plans until I see what Lorelei and JD have planned for Saturday.

All these places that Lorelei and JD included look good. I am so tired from traveling that I decide to just hang out in the Hotel Bar. Nice and quiet. Great view of the Caribbean Sea. I see no reason to go out tonight. I tried to take a nap when I first got to the hotel but I just could not sleep. I guess I slept longer on the plane than I had thought.

This is the Terrace dining room. I guess there is Main dining room upstairs. After eating I moved over to the bar area.

This is a carving done by one of the hotel workers. I believe if I understood Miguel correctly, this is the Goddess Ixchel.
