I missed the film festival here last year due to excessive Europage, so I was determined not to miss it this year. I finally made it to a film last night.

[prelimnary] ode to seattle...
May. 31st, 2002 10:56 amI love this town...
where they turn the meters on at 8am on Broadway
and you can go almost anywhere for a double tall latte
with 99, Aurora to make it easy to get back
from downtown or Cap Hill, and even to buy crack
returning to Phinney Ridge, right by the zoo
to my house with the red door, and a hot tub too
Er, that's all for now.

May. 31st, 2002 12:35 pmI'm on my High School Alumni mailing list, which occasionally produces traffic. Not too often though. But today, of course, it had a note - requesting alumni for "college contacts" for current students looking to go to college. (Which is about 99% of them, generally. Literally. One person in my class didn't go to college.)
Anyway I briefly thought about doing it, but then I realized that I'd just encourage the person not to go to Duke. I mean, I'm pretty defensive about it myself, and I think it was a pretty damn good school (although not great), but the student body left me cold, as did the non-college-town it was in.

Anyway. I still have very mixed feelings about having gone to Duke. I did meet a few Very Cool People there, and one of them got me into teaching summer camp, which led me to Seattle one summer, which led me here (in a very roundabout way) last spring. Which is good, of course. Others of them got me into film and travel (I wanted to travel always but never did till then), and Terry Pratchett.
