Spent most of the day so far getting settled in; did some grocery shopping at Pike Place Market, sent a fax of my visa information to get my household goods cleared for shipment across the border, and headed to the driver's licensing office to figure out license requirements. It's going to take both a written and a driver test to get licensed here. They don't trust our crazy Canuck licenses.
Soon, I'm heading out to Redmond to meet and catch up with new / old co-workers before heading out to dinner with them. Then, apparently, people get together at someone's house to watch The Apprentice. The "fitting in" is off to a great start, though living downtown in the "big" city does feel a little overwhelming so far.
Pictures tomorrow. I say that today because I remember my Europe blog, and all the comments from that were "When are the next pictures?" or "Upload some pictures or I'll cut you" or "Free porn, click here." There are picture vampires out there on the internet, craving the sweet digital juice of photographs, and I think they're coming for me.
