By the end of the 1980s, seattle had taken on the dangerous lustre of a promised city. the rumour had gone out that if you had failed in detroit you might yet succeed in seattle - and that if you'd succeeded in seoul, you could succeed even better in seattle... seattle was the coming place. so i joined the line of hopefuls.

Irony is the disparity between what you expect will happen, and what does happen. so raining on your wedding day isn't ironic, it's just crappy. it would have been ironic if she had lived in a place like seattle, and traveled to the desert of mexico for a wedding and it ended up raining there, but not in seattle. alanis always gets the last laugh though. we all sit here, saying her song isn't ironic, but in fact, that's pretty ironic that she wrote a song called ironic that wasn't really ironic. those canadians are pretty crafty.

The same architect who designed the seattle fair's futuristic science center, with its lacy gothic arches and spires, minoru yamasaki, was hired to design the twin towers of the world trade center. seattle had promised fairgoers a glimpse of the world that would exist in 2001. that year eventually unfolded as something less than the dream we'd imagined.

While my chosen form of story-writing is obviously a special and perhaps a narrow one, it is none the less a persistent and permanent type of expression, as old as literature itself. there will always be a certain small percentage of persons who feel a burning curiosity about unknown outer space, and a burning desire to escape from the prison-house of the known and the real into those enchanted lands of incredible adventure and infinite possibilities which dreams open up to us, and which things like deep woods, fantastic urban towers, and flaming sunsets momentarily suggest.
