Hot tip from Swillkes: tripadvisor.com saw fit to publish my screed against the diarrhea dump that is The Mad Crab! Whidbey Island visitors will be duly warned of the shittastic, shittacular, all-shit-all-the-time cuisine that awaits them for $20+ per plate-of-shit! Comparing their food to excrement lacks originality, I know, so I will remind readers that the place is a school cafeteria with a view. BURN!
Seattle was lovely. I adore the Wilkes clan and the city of Seattle. I was treated to only one rainy, cold, dreary Seattle day, and am back to my Summer Seasonal Affective Disorder. I can't believe it's the same sun that beats upon Texas graces Massachusetts with welcome loveliness. I don't know if it's kosher to self-diagnose, but in the summer months, all I do is cry and look at Western Mass real estate websites. No one wants to hear you bitch about the heat, and everyone thinks your nuts for missing snow and gray skies and seasons. I play up the Yankee/New England thing, but I'm wondering if my borderline-destructive response to summer isn't a mental health issue rather than a cultural preference. I really fucking hate it here in the summer and am hoping my Big Plan will hatch so I never have to look at Texas in the summer again.
But back to Seattle: I had a great time. I love Kevin and Jesse. Jesse's pottymouth and flashing of the double deuce at my camera delighted me to no end, and when Kevin said in a small voice, "Don't leave!" at the end of my trip, I almost took him up on the offer.
This week marks my 8th anniversary of living in Austin. I will celebrate by reminding myself of my Northampton trip on 9/10 and cranking up the A/C.
