I know - two entries in two days. Shocking. But Julian's website, BooksWellRead was mentioned in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer yesterday, which I think warrants an entry!
For those not familiar with BooksWellRead it's an online book log where you can track all the books you read and write entries about them. And it's free!
Much like Nicole Ritchie, Hilary's been laying low recently - but it's absolutely not because of an eating disorder! Nor has she broken up with Vince Vaughn! It had been about 58 days since we last saw Hilary in public, but she made an appearance at the annual ING Seawall Race. Really it has a longer name than that, but if you want to Google it that's all you need. Soon we won't have names for anything - just Google search terms. Asked to comment on her experience, Hilary remarked that there sure are a lot of fast old people in this town. Despite a personal best she was beaten at least 42 men aged 55 to 59. And some 70+ year olds.
Every once in a while I have this moment where I totally fall in love with this city. Last Sunday was one of those days. I was downtown early in the morning, watching the Yaletown mummies push their strollers along the sea wall. A cormorant was standing on top of some public art with its wings extended, triumphant against the sea wall. I went for a run through the closed-off streets of the city with a whole bunch of people wearing pink. Then I walked back slowly along the sea wall. The cormorants were now gathered together on the sea, and a friendly game of soccer was happening in a jewel-green park.
