Okay, after watching a whole season of the Louis C.K. fictionalized autobiographical t.v. show where he talks about his life after being divorced, and his two children (also his crisis to get laid), I really started thinking about Seattle in the same way. He says that getting divorced is mostly shocking because everything has changed since you were married, especially the dating scene. Bear with me, I know this analogy probably doesn't make too much sense.

Basically, for the past four years I have been in a supremely happy (if not turbulent) relationship with the state of Wisconsin, and now our lovely marriage has come to an end. We got divorced, because I was cheating on it with Seattle. Now, after my divorce from Wisconsin was official, dating Washington has become more confusing since I don't know its rules anymore. As Louis C.K. has shown in his show, this time period is going to become weird, like the scene in the show where he follows a grocery attendant home from work because he wants to sleep with her. Hopefully I don't take the analogy that far (actually I know that I won't) but that's not saying that I probably won't do something impulsively awkward or weird.
In the spirit of fun things, and since I feel like a narcissistic douche bag when I write on here (most often), here's two interviews that will hopefully make your day, just like they made mine.
An Anonymous Interview With a Grown Man Who Pees in the Pool by Lindy West - She's a Seattle native and a recent transport to Jezebel from the Stranger, the "only newspaper in Seattle."
In the spirit of semi-autobiographical characters, here's an interview between Kurt Vonnegut, and his semi-autobiographical muse (and main character in many of his novels, including Breakfast of Champions) Kilgore Trout. Any Vonnegut fans might remember Trout as being the partially famous and fictional Sci-Fi writer whose works were (at first) only published between pages of softcore pornography, often accidentally under titles like "Wide Open Beaver." Here's, Requiem for a Dreamer by Kurt Vonnegut.
Also, sad day for Wisconsin where Walker won the recall.
peace, love, red wine and unicorns,
