Newton's first law of Courtney
I’ve gotten to see a lot of the country in the last year, and also got to make it to across the border to Canada.
I’ve got a boyfriend that’s backpacked 3 other continents.
My oldest friend is living in Japan.
I work with a diverse group of people from many countries, and have heard of many recent visits to Asia and Oceania.
Facebook and Picasa accounts have me peering into...
I want private swimming lessons, but I know if I find a place with a time that works around my schedule (weekends, or after 6:15pm, earlier if downtown) then I’ll just be a giant crazy bitch to someone because I’m too afraid to put my head under water.
The smell of fresh peaches at the market is about as heavenly a scent as I’ve ever smelled.
My Wordle of Cibo Matto lyrics.
Wall-E was the cutest damn movie I’ve ever seen.

WINSTON: Don’t tell the Party, but sex is way better than totalitarianism.
EVERYONE: Surprise! We’re the Party.
WINSTON: Oh, rats.
Because if it’s not love Then it’s the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb, the bomb That will bring us together
I just got the best news I've heard in ages.

One of my favorite tumblr gals is coming to Seattle to see us for the long weekend over the 4th of July! K and I will take care of her and spoil her rotten while she’s here. Can’t wait!
And maybe I can get some good tips while she’s here. ;)
feed her a giant steak and cover her in cute pups
Our Dyson DC17 Absolute Animal arrived today. So far a 2x8 piece of bedroom has filled the unit with dog hair.
I’m watching some award show on BET simply because SWV is performing.
Who’s lame?

A rare photo set of Bill Gates’ life
My love for dorky men extends to a massive respect for Bill Gates. I’m not sure there’s a gazatribillionaire out there as accessible and human as he is.
Bellevue Contemporary 2 Story on half acre lot →
A great example of what picture NOT to use when selling a house.
Tomorrow we’re going to Seattle’s Best Karaoke for a few hours for a friend’s birthday.
I’m more than just a little tone deaf.
If people hassle me to sing, they’re gonna get Vince Gill or T.I.
Be warned.
Tonight, I won a shrilling chicken from a claw game at Gameworks. My dad was always able to win something, fairly easily so I wanted to see how I did. It took 3 or 4 plays before Jason finally got that noisy rubber chicken I promised him a year ago.
Anyone know where I can learn to hang glide near Seattle? I keep looking and only find paragliding places.
Try not to be jealous

of my awesome real-life friends, those of you in Tumblr-land.
But last night I got together with some of my dearlings to watch Weeds, and not only did I make them pitchers of frozen margaritas…
I also baked them margarita cupcakes. With homemade lime frosting.
I win.
Soooooo… have you considered throwing a satellite Weeds party at...
My water cup at work smells like pee. Maybe I should wash it once in awhile.

boringloser:
I only ever feel a little regretful for my single lifestyle when I listen to really good songs about pretty girls. This video is a blast and has Armen in it from the Sarah Silverman Program.
Cute video. The lead singer has a sort of peterwknox thing going on. I’m so ashamed that Say Anything always amuses me.
The “When We Left Earth” series on Discovery channel is amazing.
Those early days of orbiting then landing on the moon, with the bubble helmets in the sky and the buzz cuts and black ties back home, they show a different kind of man. I have an almost romantic notion towards the images of the astronauts and engineers. Those were real men with big balls taking us out of this world. We...

I’m pretty sure I want a white ink tattoo on my wrist.
Greensburg : Planet Green →
I just happened on Greensburg on tv and I’ve cried and laughed and cried again since. It breaks my heart to see the footage of the last year, but I’m excited as hell for this rebuilding.
Elton John’s greatest hits for $1.99. Yes, please.

If I have to hear the term “juneuary” one more time when people are talking about the weather in Vancouver, I swear … well, I don’t know what I’ll do. But it won’t be pretty.
I said almost those very words to Jason this morning, except about Seattle.

I’m so glad ABC decided to clone MXC and then remind me they cloned it on every single commercial break.
Yeah, so, I get it. Flobots are “political” and “fresh” and “intelligent” and all that. It’s catchy. It’s popular. People have blogged about it. Whatever.
I bought the Fight With Tools from Amazon a couple weeks ago since it was under $7 at the time and I like how “Handlebars” sounds. I finally listened to it today and the whole album...

I am in a long love affair with this city, but can still relate.
I’ve only been here a little over 8 months and I already believe everyone who told me all these great things about beautiful weather and transportation and liberalness are complete liars.
