Currently: sitting in El Diablo Coffee on Queen Anne Hill surrounded by paintings of naked babies, mermaids, and the devil.
Drinking: Double tall americano. So good.
Eating: Coconut cupcake. [Happy birthday to you, Mom!]
Thinking: I love this place. After a stressful week, I love that I am able to get away, get some caffeine (not from Starbucks), and get some perspective. The last part is most important. It's so easy to lose sight of things when you're in the midst of them, and looking back at the last few days, I'm grateful they're over. I wouldn't want to do them over. On the other hand, they're what make days like today so enjoyable.
I actually should be: Working on my phonology homework. On Tuesday night, I went to the UDistrict and met with two Chinese women. They both attend UW as grad students and they have been in the US since last September. As part of my assignment, I recorded them reading an elicitation paragraph of English, nonsense sentences that are written to elicit certain errors in pronunciation. I have those recordings and I need to transcribe them in IPA.
Instead, I am: Blogging. Sipping coffee. Eating cake. Considering how long I can put off that homework.
I am: So Seattle right now.
