today's reason to love seattle I'm sitting here on the balcony at Solstice at 9am, and there are 3 dudes (who apparently just finished their last final) toasting their success with PINTS OF BEER. They are totally classic, too: "here's to summer! Wooooo!" "No more learning!!" "Now we're members of the community!" "I knew this guy once who woke up naked on a sled wearing a helmet and didn't know how he got there--that's what I want this summer to be like!" Seriously. Now they're pretending to play the marimba. And to think I used to feel guilty about my 11:30 beers at Big Time when I was writing my thesis...oh, youth. Oh, Seattle.  ¶ 10:07 AM
