Monday I got an e-mail from my hosting provider saying that they had temporarily suspended my account because one of the directories was being used to run a PayPal scam. Apparently I had accidentally made the directory world-writable, so some poohead uploaded some files used to scam people's PayPal accounts into it. I sorted it out with my host and changed the permissions, so if you were unable to access my site over the weekend, well you know why. People suck.

In other non-scammy news, I spent the weekend in Seattle. Amanda was there visiting a friend, and since I'd never been to Seattle, I decided to tag along. Her friend has a ridiculously cute 15-month-old daughter (I was in full Shaparazzi mode, and got some nice pics of her), so we worked our schedule around hers, but still managed to do a lot. We went to Pike Place Market, The Seattle Center, The Fremont Flea Market, saw Thank You For Smoking, re-watched 40 Year Old Virgin, watched a few eps of Six Feet Under: Season 5, went running, walked around the neighborhood, and played with the baby.

I was surprised that despite being the birthplace of Starbucks, Seattle didn't seem to have any more Starbucks locations than any other city. If anything, it seemed to have fewer. It did, however, live up to its rainy reputation, and drizzled every day. However, it was still a really nice trip, and lots of fun. Thank you so much to Laura and Peter and Sadie for having me for the weekend. Hope to see you again soon!
