One Last Day in Seattle

~ Highlight of the Day: Spending 3 hours in my most favorite store ever - Value Village ~

Today was really busy, a lot of fun, and just a teensey bit productive :)

Um. . . I've sort of hinted at this in the last few posts, but I should probably mention it officially at some point - my family is moving to Arizona. So I'm in the middle of packing for Jerusalem and for moving. Not to mention that I should be sort of fixing up the yard and I want to say goodbye to my favorite places. It's much too much to do in 6 days. Maybe I could have done everything in two weeks, but my parents didn't even know until last week.

So what did I do today? I savored my last shopping trip to Value Village (probably what I'm most sad about leaving behind. . . ), and went to the Science Fiction museum at the EMP (Experience the Music Project) in Seattle!

 

 

 A DALEK! Ahhhh!!! The first two episodes of season 7 (Doctor Who) are supposed to make the Daleks scary again. . . I can't wait :)

 

There was an exhibit all about Avatar. . . we had a staring contest. He won.

 

And there was an exhibit on horror movies!

 

 

I now want to see a few old thrillers. . . definitely not 'Texas Chainsaw Masacre' though. That one looks gross. 'The Wicker Man' seemed fascinating, but it apparently has a lot of yucky stuff of a different nature in it. . . and it's rated R.

 

I saw this though and thought it was hilarious :)

 

 

I will have to watch this with my Provo buddies during Winter semester! I definitely learned more about horror film than I every thought I needed. I came away with an appreciation for the immense history of horror, and an intense desire to watch Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

 

After all the dark scary stuff we took a walk outside. . .

Gotta love Seattle! My family may be moving, but I will still find reasons to come back here. I love the Northwest too much not to!

Day 2 of 6

I have so much stuff. . . and it's all in the living room and dining room. Unfortunately in order to pack it all I need to unpack it first. And that means looking through all the middle school and high school stuff. . . not to mention elementary school. And then there's the painstaking task of deciding what to keep and what to get rid of. Soccer trophies from 11 years ago? Gone. Plant project from 5 years ago. . . couldn't quite part with it.

For all those who are familiar with Doctor Who. . . my sister's Halloween costume this year:

It's going to be absolutely terrifying.

And for those of you who have no idea what that is, or why it's the scariest thing ever:
