the ass-end of april 2010


i have already dialogued the more irritating aspects of the past 48 hours elsewhere... this shall just be the more whimsical aspects of today.
i went to an intra-oral CE at cortiva today. the school's been completely remodeled since i graduated; i'm glad i left when i did. the students are all forced to wear these hideous brown polo shirts. they gave our class shirts when we attended but i refused to wear mine. i don't think i ever did. i still have them. they're ugly and they shrank.
i walked that route so many times over the past 2 years... there's still a shit-ton of construction and mayhem in south lake union but, to my relief, this row of some of my favorite structures in seattle still remains. i fantasize about their tenement days of yore- stained laundry aflap in the breeze! mothers with tired faces and naked children clinging to their aprons! men drinking moonshine on the steps, fedoras askance!

across the street...

the CE was interesting. we all gloved up and fondled (our own) mandibular muscles. you can palpate the masseter from the inside AND the outside of the cheek! it's a rather pleasant sensation.
after i left the CE a teenage girl at the bus stop started screeching at me. "you only care about yourself! nobody cares about me!" i had no idea who she was. i smiled and put my headphones on. i suppose she was right. i don't feel too interested or sympathetic today... in general.

in a pioneer square alley- this lampshade has been mauled. how does one dent a metal lampshade 15' above street level?
