++ BELLEVUE ART MUSEUM - BAM! and you're there. well at least on the first fridays of every month to get in free, which is where heather and i went this past friday. people in bellevue are pretty. pretty people. seattle=ugly people. there must be something in the water. water is easy to come by here in the northwest. water which makes you pretty is hard to come by unless you are on the east side of the water. so the art museum. and there was a free fashion show. which you would think a fashion show set in a place of pretty people would have very pretty people. try again. the exhibit was intriguing though. it was about installation and exhibition fashion shows. think installation art, except its about fashion and clothes and the everything is moving. its a show, its a fsahion show. its art. its a fashion art show. its way cool. BUT we didn't see that at the BAM. oh yeah, its designed by steven holl. i think he ripped it off of chiasma. copy cat. back to the fashion show. the exhibit is about e.v. day and it was titled g-force. now i won't go into details but i watched the fashion show from the top of the staircase staring at at hordes of people through g-strings strung up by wires. i'll stop there.

food - dick's drive in restaurant has to be the coolest greasy spoon joint in town. its greasy. its cheap. its 'retro'. but not quite. more like they started in the 50's and never bothered to advance with time. and have kept the same look since they started. even the people who work there wear the little white hat thingy. hamburgers are $1. cheeseburgers are $1.10. french fries are still hand cut out of realy potatoes and sold for $1.40. its faster than the fastest fast food place you have ever been to. its a great place i must say.

i'm looking into buying a new laptop, although i can't decide what i'm going to get. a pc ... or ... a mac. everyone says mac. although macs cost about $1000 more. and i don't have an extra $1000 laying around. but i want a mac. i'm not sure how to justify spending more money for a computer i don't really really need. more research. we'll see. ++
