So the internet at my hotel's been wanky... apparently there was a gaming convention, hah, and all the geeks used up the IP addresses from the hotel's ISP.... well... I think they'll be gone by tomorrow.
So I'm in the lobby...
I woke up today, feeling slightly feverish and strange and walked out to get a coffee, or no, it wasn't that-- I needed a book. I really need a book. A good one. I haven't read in ages. And there's a lot of downtime on set... So I walked out, I dont know why, without showering, the hairspray and grime from last night's shoot still in my hair, looking like a mess... and ventured out... up and down the hills of seattle.. mission toward the library, which is a beautiful library, though I knew I wouldn't be able to check anything out... it was something to see... there was a steinway piano store on the way, which I'll grace tomorrow... and then I walked down to the puget sound harbour and looked at the water.
I found a cool book store... and I bought "Super Sad Real Love Story" by Gary Shteyngart. It's fucking great. Also another random book that looked cool.. That's where I spend my money... I've mostly been stashing food from the kraft services, and I should be on a diet anyway... and yet now I feel like I have a bunch of money and I see all these stores and all these things I want... but the truth is, its not that much money... Well it might be, if it keeps coming, but if after this month I have another couple like I did June and July, I better not spend it all in one place.
But it was beautiful, up and down and sunny... I really did have a fever though... I had to turn the A/C on when I got into my room and then froze a second later... so I've been resting... I've got all of tomorrow and Tuesday to explore too... then shoot the next 4 days, then another 2 off, then one more shoot, then fly back...

I kind of feel like I'm on vacation... at a hotel... around tourists... I've had flashes of memories of vacations I've been on, or work I've had to travel for, and the difference, the differences between those times and now... informed of the 'progress' I've made... in my career, in my standing in life, of my kind of meteoric and really gradual ascent into becoming a grownup....
I dunno... not much more I can say from a computer in the lobby.
