I've always liked the Daily Perk. I've been a fan ever since its evolution from a kitschy, 50's inspired coffee counter-style hangout to its current incarnation. The new owner has expanded the eating space, and has done away with the giftshop. Now there's room to stretch out, and wi-fi is now ...

Another dreary, rainy day in Burien. Though I'm dead tired and groggy from my Nyquil-induced sleep(wasn't feeling well), I am at the office to do my Saturday morning floor shift. Since I'm still not awake enough to do anything that requires too much thought, I start reading the headlines. One ...

When I lived in Japan, I learned the cultural significance of New Year's greeting cards. People busy themselves in December preparing their New Year's cards to send out the week after Christmas(well, 12/25 to them, as they don't do too much in the way of celebrating Christmas). Some people send...
