Seattle I am here


The trip today was very smooth. Jose came to pick me up around 9:30 and we were at Long Beach Airport by 10:10 - Smaller airport = smaller crowd = shorter checking-in time = quicker entrance. I loved JetBlue's complimentary TV + first bag + snacks and drinks. It was just a very nice experience, except for the crying kid in the front, but there's not much you could do about that. Seattle's raining today, just like LA for the past several days. Dear sun where have you been? The wet and gloomy weather makes me sleepy. CH and Robert met me around 5 and came with water and Fuji apples (yay!)... They also gave me my birthday present: Sony Bloggie! Now I feel the pressure to make some seriously fun and cute videos hahaha. Thanks CH & Robert! We had our early dinner at Blue C Sushi in Bellevue - It was a modern, fresh and young sushi restaurant. Music was rocking indie, there was a video projection on the high rise wall, vibrant color-coded plates, lively graphics and mural, little anime figurines and drawings and toy robots here and there (on the belt train or in the display) - The food was good too! This was a truly multi-media restaurant experience. Later we grabbed some coffee (of course), and walked around the mall. Before they dropped me off we stopped by Cefiore frozen yogurt for some icy, tart treat. We were actually thinking about getting something from Cheesecake Factory for dessert, but we agreed fro-yo was lighter and more refreshing. I really spilled the beans on The Lovely Bones, which I didn't like very much. I might have said too much and gave away the movie completely, oops! I came back to the hotel room and chatted on Skype for a bit. I was tired, but happy. I hope I get a good night of sleep. It's going to be a long (but hopefully pleasant) week ahead.
