Mr. Seagal Goes to Washington

And sues them! Everyone's favourite, aging, early-90s, martial arts star (sit down Jean-Claude) has figured out the problem to his movies' lack of appeal: The Man. When in doubt, blame the government. Apparently, five years ago- when his career was really swinging - there was a dicey FBI affidavit detailing Seagal's possible involvement in a plot to terrorize two journalists. Turns out the FBI had no persuasive evidence against him, but that's not holding this ponytailed suspect-terrorist from exacting some ass-kicking revenge on those who betrayed him. Oh no, he will not lay under siege from the fun-haters at the FBI. He will rise above the law to promote his mid-50s martial artistry, his blues music (?), and his energy drink (LIGHTNING BOLT~ I heed your call!!!) Watch your backs, Feds, cause there's sure to be some broken pool cues and roundhouse kicks heading your way!

Resume Resuming

My apologies for being rather quiet on the blogging front; I've been entirely consumed with finishing up my second degree here in Seattle and hurrying to finish up my portfolio (roughly one month left!) I've also been contacted to start doing some freelance Flash contracting and trying to figure out the logistics of all of that. Busy as can be; Busy bee- Where's my Busy Bee!?

Pomonas Relocation, Pt 2

Seattle can now be said to house half of the Pomonas. J-Rip and his gal Susan made their way to the city this past week and the three of us, along with Gassaway and his lady Tara, had a full-on Saturday. The better half of the day was spent down on the southern end of the city, starting out at the large warehouse center for Goodwill, aptly dubbed 'The Bins'. It's basically a number of gigantic bins overflowing with clothes and other second=hand throwaways that are priced by the pound. You can occasionally discover some good finds there and I came away with a cool Indiana Jones bag that looks like it was handmade by Davy Crockett. We also swung by the insanity that is Uwajimaya to grab a bite and load up on whatever insane Asian foodstuffs we could find. This included a beverage called 'American Coffee' that, despite a wicked can design, tasted nothing like coffee and everything like Yoo-Hoo. The rest of the night was spent kicking around Ballard (J-Rip's new digs) and checking out a concert venue thereabouts (The Tractor). Anyways, here's a few memorable lines that gave me a good laugh over the last twenty-four:

Me - You kids better stop eating your Yan-Yan and drinking your American Coffee or I'll take your Dance Dance Revolution away!

J-Rip - Do you have anything close to coffee?
Employee - Okay. Something with ice, cream, sugar, and tapioca pearls?

Gassaway: - I wish I felt like having a drink, cause I really feel like having a drink.
- Teen activity center, kiss my ass.

Screaming Angels

So, every summer up here there's this Sea Fair celebration where they have boat races and art shows and whathaveyou scattered throughout the city. One of the big events of this Fair is a Blue Angels show over Lake Washington. I went last year and it's quite amazing to see jet fighters roaring upwards of 800 mph just over your head in the middle of a lake. The annoying part about all this, though, is that for the two days before their shows, these fighters use the airspace directly over downtown to practice their maneuvers. Thus, I get to be woken from my slumber each morning to the sounds of screeching jet engines that sound like they're about to explode through my window.

Note:
Someone should form another team of showy jet fighter pilots named the Red Devils. They could find where the Angels are performing and swoop in and overtake their show. Also, they should have red smoke billowing from their planes and some type of death metal pumping out of speakers.
