i voted!

this afternoon i decided to take advantage of an increasingly rare sunny day and walk my absentee ballot to the king county administration building where the city installed a "ballot box".

afterwards, i walked around downtown, taking photos (none of which really turned out) and then made my way to barnes & noble. collecting a stack of magazines to read, including the new issue of 'W' with brad pitt's images of angelina, i made my way to the cafe to order myself an americano. the barista says, "you look familiar". i laugh, slightly embarrassed that i was was about to take advantage of their cafe to flip through $200 worth of magazines with my $1.80 drink in a setting that was rather anonymous only a moment before, and she then asked, "what is your name?". i told her, to which her response was, "oh. right."

what? what was that? so i ask, and she says, just one word.
"flickr"

must say, made me feel pretty rad.
