jesus wtf:
On September 5, 2009, at 7:30 p.m., a female UW student was on her way to the UW vs. LSU football game walking alone in parking area E-9 on the north side of Husky Stadium. She was pushed to the ground by two unknown males in their 20's, who then took the victim's football ticket from her rear pocket. Both suspects fled toward the North Plaza entrance to Husky Stadium and entered the facility. Responding Officers were unable to locate the suspects among the crowd. Fortunately, the victim did not sustain serious injury.

On Sept. 28, students were extended the option of swapping their archaic WebPine or Web Alpine services for systems offered by providers Microsoft and Google.
...
The extra storage is a colossal upgrade from the skeletal in-house system count of 300 megabytes. With Microsoft’s system, 10 gigabytes are available to fill with messages and photos, and more than seven gigabytes amp the Google inbox.
Plus, with UW Windows Live Mail, users receive Outlook Live — the latest version of exchange e-mail — integrated messaging, Windows Live Spaces — an online work space ideal for collaborations with class groups and photo sharing — and SkyDrive, 25 gigabytes of online file storage. Google wrapped their application suite in the UW logo, extending Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Talk to students.

this kinda fucking freaks me the fuck out:
At approximately 5:15 p.m., a female student waiting at a bus stop at University Way, N.E. and N.E. 42nd Street was checking the bus schedule on her iPhone when a male suspect slapped it from her hand, picked it up, and fled on foot in a southerly direction with two other males. The victim was not injured in this incident.
cuz, you know, that's right there. and i do that. at that time. all the time.
and i've thought about how that could happen. wtf.
maybe i should get my name off the UW alerts list; they make me worry too much, i think.

Starting Monday a part of the Burke Gilman Trail across from Hec Edmondson Pavilion will be closed, signaling the start of construction of the long-awaited Sound Transit light-rail station.
The closure, which will last 18 days, until Jan. 3, is the beginning of 6 1/2 years of construction activities near Husky Stadium to build a Sound Transit light rail station and install a 3.1 mile underground tunnel connecting the UW to Capitol Hill. When the station and tunnel open in 2016, Sound Transit projects that 27,000 riders will pass through the UW station each weekday.

I love our neighborhood :-)
We had a yard sale yesterday (today too), and sold so much stuff and it felt like everyone from our end of Georgetown stopped by to just say hi and pass on some good will. People bought SO MANY BOOKS! And we had lots of good chats about reading. Hoping for similar today. Also lots of dogs came by, one that looked so much like Basil!

out of 8, the number of ilxors to have visited with us in seattle in the last ~3 years who want to move to seattle: 5
of 3 who don't want to move to seattle, number who want to move to portland: 2
of 1 who doesn't want to move to seattle, number who really do but can't/won't: 1
― lxy, Sunday, 30 November 2014 18:00 (nine years ago) link
(important to note: "visited with us" is not presumed to be the driving factor, just distinguising that group from the other ilxors who have probably visited seattle but haven't visited with us. i have no idea whether or not they want to move here.)
