Tempus Fugate’s Place

Actually, I love hanging out with them.
 
We're all going to the Taylor Swift concert in a bit. For dinner we are introducing some virgins to Greek food.

So I just had the transmission fluid replaced on Monday. Today I learn it's been spewing fluid everywhere and now it's dead.
 
I get to wait for a tow truck and you can bet I'm heading back to the Jiffy Lube to get them to pay for these shenanigans.
 
FML.

Wow. Once again pop culture comes through with simple truths we all forget.
 
It doesn't get more obvious or more prescriptive than that.

This is going to be an amazing show!
 
The backstage tour was neat and we've got an amazing view.
 
Plus being able to spend 4 hours getting to know @sarahoface was a joy.
 
Awesome.

Last night I was able to spend some time with my friends at the ShowBox in the Market moshing to my favorite band of all time, New Found Glory.
 
There are a lot of great things to be said about Seattle music fans. Even when they go crazy they're still pretty cool.
 
This was the perfect way to kick off my birthday month. Later I'll have other craziness and quite a bit of rowdy fun mixed with some down times.
 
Couldn't have kicked it off better though.

It's beautiful where I've been hanging my hat. Lately I haven't been getting to enjoy it.
 
The weather and my schedule cooperated for a fantastic and gorgeous day.
 
This sunset is the topper.

If you meet a girl at a bar and invite her for brunch with your friends you've only got it half right.
 
Basically, if you're smooth enough to pick her up in the first place you've got some skills. But take a moment to make sure she knows what brunch is all about.
 
We give her bonus points for showing up at all. But then everything broke down. She's here, get her away from your friends and get to know her a little better before exposing her to their Sunday morning zaniness.
 
Otherwise when we run into her later at a coffee shop she'll say "Can I be frank? Was that weird? That was weird right?!"
 
And I'll be reduced to chatting her up to reassure her we aren't a bunch of goofs. Which went well. Almost too well. Well enough to make me feel awkward.
 
Cool chick, too bad my friends have such poor social skills.
 
Of course as I write this I'm supposed to be talking to these same friends as we walk Greenlake. One of them is doing a Rubik's cube the other is texting and I'm writing this post.
 
I just don't understand why we have such great first runs and then end being so toxic towards new people.
 
Hmmm...

Thanks to the volcano in Alaska, Brand New got stuck in Seattle and was good enough to put on a special acoustic set.
 
Frankly I enjoyed it more than most concerts I've seen in quite a while.
 
It's a mark of some great musicians that even wearing borrowed clothes and playing borrowed instruments, they can still put on an amazing show.
 
Well done boys.
