Second day in Seattle

This day was eventful because of how many times I woke up in the morning. ^^;;; I woke up around 3 am because I couldn't sleep, then around 6 am, and then finally fell asleep and woke up around 10:45 am. So I think I'm pretty much over the jet-lag. :P I definitely should be, in any case...

( The view outside my apartment at around 7 am )

Since I haven't posted any pictures of the inside of my apartment, I took some this morning. The lighting's a bit off because I didn't turn on all the lights, but it's still pretty nice.

( Living room )

( Hall and dining room )

( Kitchen )

I'd posted pictures of Unigard Park covered in fog yesterday, and I walked past it this afternoon on my way to Crossroads to buy a HP all-in-one device (printer, scanner and copier) and a wireless router, among other things. The all-in-one is so that I don't go broke at Kinko's... The difference today was remarkable...

( What a difference a day makes )

For dinner today, I decided to try something different, instead of eating out or making do with bread and butter. I cooked.

Yes.

For real.

Here's the evidence in case you don't believe me!

( If basket can cook, so can you?! )

I bought 2 boneless chicken breasts, a red and green bell pepper, some corn oil and a 10oz bottle of soy sauce, as well as some other items, from the somewhat nearby Uwajimaya in Bellevue for only $16. That certainly beats the prices at QFC for the same items, and it's much nearer. :P

Since I only cooked one of the chicken pieces and used some of the peppers, I can still cook something for myself tomorrow. Maybe it'll be the same dish, maybe not. But at least I can save money this way and eat somewhat healthily. ^^;;

There was also a pamphlet for their "Year of the Boar" sale, including a recipe for lemon chicken. I might try that out sometime. :P

For once, I was tagged...

Because I was Listed by itsacz...

Here are ten things I've done that you probably haven't:

1. Gone on a speedboat ride across the Brisbane River while it was raining


2. Performed in a paying (as opposed to free/invitational/publicity) concert


3. Stroked a cat and heard it purr


4. Been pounced by a cat


5. Getting thrown into a pool


6. Worked at Citibank, even if it was only for a month :P


7. Broken three piano strings in succession ^^;;;


8. Played ragtime \o/


9. Flown to the United States by myself and settled in


10. Had surgery on my ankle to reconstruct the ligaments

Now that you have read this, you are compelled to list ten things you've done that others probably haven't. May the List be with you.
