Over the Rainbow, Around the Store

So I was taking photo for the store website when I stumble on the these funny. There were purse with dog during different scenes. I like the Wizard of Oz one the best. I wonder if the tinman still wishes for a heart or just no fleas.

Then there was bathmat. I think it's very post modern or maybe just ikea-est. Either way, I'm often amazed at what I find.

Unexpected Urban Find

So I have decided to give blogging another try, now that I'm older and wiser, filled with stuff I find interesting so there goes.

I don't normally walk under the Washington State convention center which is probably why I have never found this place before. La Creperie Voila. Ultra cute, ultra urban little stand, just like you would find in France. There were two of these kiosk built, the other is a SUBWAY of all things. I commend the urban gesture and would love more of it. Food is okay (I had a ratatouille crepe, how more french can you get?), this type of atmosphere in Seattle: priceless.

This was after watching a disastrous show at the Paramount, The Divine Performance Arts Chinese New Year Spectacular. I would not recommend this new york based company. I would agree with my companion that felt that the should expect the viewer to be uneducated about Chinese culture. Curiously, the show was bilingual. The show was very disorganized and everyone I went with were all confused at the religious overtones.
