An odd sense of d\u00c3\u00a9j\u00c3\u00a0 vu creeps over me frequently these days. Surreal moments of complete displacement. For instance, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be driving up Fresh Pond on my way home, and the reception on the car radio will go hazy. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be dark–because it seems as if it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s always dark these days–and the road curves a bit. And for a moment, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m sure that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m on Market Street traveling from Fremont to Ballard, in that one curvy spot headed down to 3rd Ave. where the radio would also fritz out. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not that I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m reminded of Ballard. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s that I think that I am<\/i> in Ballard. So it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a jolt when I look up and I think, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Hey, this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t Seattle,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d but it takes a few moments for me to figure out where exactly I am. This happens frequently, like when I went to meet Kara for brunch in Cambridge, and I drove around and around for parking and I just kept muttering, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I hate going to Capitol Hill,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d and was surprised when I realized I wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t in Capitol Hill. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been there before, but I haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t. Buildings will look similar in the dark, Storrow Drive will feel like Aurora.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
