April 3rd: Seattle!

2007-04-04 · Hank · watch on YouTube · Personal life · personal update

Hank recaps a weekend in Seattle (the public market's fish throwers and a donut wizard), admits he didn't want to make a video after an icy drive home, argues that some days everyone doesn't want to go to work, and notes one $10 donation toward freeing him from his punishment.

What is said

00:00:00 — Wind turbines in Washington; why they went to Seattle; the Space Needle from a car

  • ★★ Hank thinks wind turbines are pretty and doesn't understand people who find them ugly and don't want them on mountain ridges. (hedged) — 00:00:09
  • ★★ Hank went to Seattle to see friends, a comedy show, eat real food and do big-city things like drive; they saw the Space Needle from a car. (playful) — 00:00:09 · Seattle

00:00:49 — Seattle's public market: fish throwers, a donut wizard; thanks to Seattle and their hosts

  • ★★ Hank calls the public market one of the awesomest parts of Seattle: a three-story-deep market with street performers and fish throwers, who showed a doubting girl they could hit someone with a fish. (playful) — 00:00:49 · Seattle
  • ★ At the market a donut-making machine, older than Krispy Kreme, was run by a man Hank calls a donut wizard; the donuts were really good. (playful) — 00:01:15
  • ★ Hank thanks everybody in Seattle and the four friends who showed them around, gave them a place to sleep and let them play their video game. — 00:01:15 · Seattle

00:02:05 — Some days you don't want to go to work: Hank didn't want to make a video after the icy drive home

  • ★★★ Hank says even with the best job in the world, some days you won't want to go to work; that's what work is, since no one would pay you to do what you'd do anyway. — 00:02:05
  • ★★ Hank apologizes to John and viewers: this morning he didn't want to make a video and wanted to stay in bed after a fun weekend and a stressful drive home over an icy pass. — 00:02:05
  • ★ Hank says the pass home was covered in about two inches of ice, which was very stressful even though he wasn't driving. (hedged) — 00:02:34
  • ★★ After watching some TV, Hank got up and made the video anyway, and is glad he kicked himself out of bed, though it is now about 6 p.m. — 00:02:59

00:03:22 — One $10 donation to free Hank, 19 more needed; punishment for Thursday; sign-off

  • ★★★ Hank thanks the one person who stuck up for him with $10 to the campaign to decrease suck levels worldwide, but needs 19 more to get off the hook and asks for them. — 00:03:22 · Foundation for Decreasing Suck Levels Worldwide
  • ★★ If the donations don't come, Hank will have to figure out a punishment to do on Thursday; he hasn't decided which yet. — 00:03:22
