It’s been a month since I arrived here in Seattle and it some ways it feels like it’s been a month, but then in other ways it feels like it’s only been days. Time is relative right?

We went out for dinner last night for Emily’s birthday. I got the bus downtown so Tim didn’t have to drive all the way home to pick me up then drive all the way back down.

I ended up getting off one stop after I meant to but as I was walking back around I walked into Jon, who was coming to dinner, and so we went over to his place while he got changed and then walked up to the restaurant.

I’d never been to Jon’s place before, it was nice. A bit stupidly laid out (the actual building tho, not how he’d done it) but he’s made good use of the space. His TV is even bigger than Tim’s at 52″ (Tim’s is a mere 50″) but I think it fits in well where he has it.

The restaurant we went to had a bar and a restaurant bit and you could order food in either so we were gonna sit round the bar side on the more laid back couches. However the guy came over and asked for ID and as I was under 21 we had to sit round the other side.

Which you know is fine, I’m under 21 and I accept that. But they could take their drinks round the other side, and order more drinks round there so what difference does it make? It just seems so stupid.

For dinner I had an almond crepe which was really tasty and I also ordered paté which was disappointedly not. I was looking forward to having a dessert crepe but by the time I’d finished eating my regular crepe I was full up so I passed on dessert and we left.

After dinner the guys and Emily were gonna head over to a bar and see We Were Scientists. It was all ages so I could’ve gone but Tim wasn’t going and even tho Soco offered to drive me home I knew I’d have felt bad him having to drive me home at like midnight and then drive back over to Bellevue and then get up early for work. It was nice of him to offer but I wouldn’t have felt right taking him up on it.

So Tim and I came home and I watched a couple episodes of Stargate and then we headed to bed.

I also finished The Twilight Watch yesterday which was a really good read (I’d thought it would be since I enjoyed The Day Watch) but it didn’t feel like the end of the trilogy. A quick look on Amazon and I discovered that’s cos it’s not, there’s a fourth book coming out. Eh?

While on holiday in Scotland, visiting a macabre tourist attraction, ‘The Dungeons of Edinburgh’, a young Russian tourist is murdered. As the police grapples with the fact that the cause of the young man’s death was a massive loss of blood, the Watches are immediately aware that there is a renegade vampire on the loose. Anton - the hero of The Night Watch and The Day Watch - is detailed to this seemingly mundane investigation, but on arriving in Scotland begins to realise that there is much more to the story than a wildcat vampire and a single murder. Aided by Thomas, the head of Edinburgh’s Night Watch, Anton investigates and ruminates, and becomes aware that a team of unlicensed Others are hunting for a fabled magical treasure, hidden in the sixth level of the Twilight by Merlin himself.

It could be alright but it seems kinda like the guy is just milking it now. Oh well, who wouldn’t?
