Drive-By, with Bullet Points

Jun 04, 2007 06:31

Grand Outlandish wasn't very Outlandish, but it was grand. Preparing for it (including extra shifts at the salt mines to work up velvet) kept me so busy that, even at this late date, I feel as if I'm in free-fall ( Read more... )

Glad to hear you're doing ok. And personally, I DO consider your dinner a wonderful accomplishment. It sounds yummy.

Me, I just moved to Portland. :-)

Mairwen, I am so happy for you that my heart aches -- and so envious that my teeth hurt! And I'm not even gnashing them ( ... )

What a wonderfully poetic thing to wake up to!!!

There may indeed be yuppie scum about but the rest of the place is so FUNKY that I don't even notice them!

When I announced the move, people said "but oh, the rain!".....but I LIKE the rain. And it's not like it (usually) rains all day...just enough to wash the city clean and make it GLOW.

I love it here already. thanks for the suggestions. Come and visit. :-)

Oh, thank you for being gracious with my blather. Everything I write turns into a valentine for my long lost town. (I didn't even get to enthuse about the Hawthorne district!)

I love the rain, too, and the constantly shifting light, and having things be clean and fresh and fragrant. Walking around after clubbing, going to the Roxy, singing in the street in the wee hours...you can't do these things in the Southwest.

What I would really like is to scoop up Victoria and have the three of us take the city by storm -- I don't know if you like champagne (or gin, or any such stuff) but we would show you the finest time. I like to think we will, one day....

Ri was told by Pat you and Seth maybe moving to Colorado?

Uhhhh...no. Billy was kind enough to forward some job opps, but there would have to be near-mythic wages, a relocation package, and a sweet job for yours truly before we could or would head out of ABQ.

Also, not that I would make life decisions based on the SCA, but (you knew there was a big ol' butt coming, right?) we finally have found a lovely groove, and don't intend to go anywhere else if we can help it.

Pack up that fine woman of yours and move here, damn it!
