my autocorrect read the song as 'cybersheep'
After record rainfall, we've been having some dry and clear weather- great because I'm going to tonight's Seattle vs. Dallas soccer playoff game. Scoring tickets to that was one of the few times I felt not-screwed by Ticket B--t-rds ( Read more... ) -

Halloween happened! We had a guest for the weekend, Rob L, a friend of John's from college and grad school. I made amaretto chocolate cake (new to me, and very tasty). Liquor is taxed at 20% in Washington, did you know that? A fun laid-back party ensued at Lauren's. However, it seems I'm allergic to the makeup I used because my face has been ( Read more... ) -

I feel like before my vacation there was a bunch of background noise and I don't remember what happened. I'll put short notes here.- San Francisco! Napa, Within Temptation, Amaranthe, Xandria, Delain, and Sonata Arctica. One of these things is not like the others.
- Vancouver with Catherine and Mike. Aquarium, Bloedel Conservatory, waterfront.

who's in the mood for some football?
Weekend before last we had a houseguest over. He ran away from a homeless panhandler, drank eleven caramel latte samples despite saying "I'm not a coffee drinker", and attempted to buy bargaiin stamp collections. It was quite impressive ( Read more... ) -

Weekend plans much altered for more than a week ago. Ended up with no games Saturday, and no tabletop Sunday. Pretty relaxing. Read the first third of Serpent Mage in the sun. Back when 400 pages was considered a long fantasy book...I think? It was Terry Brooks who wrote the first long books that I remember reading, and I can't remember if David ( Read more... ) -
beneath the amanitas?
Going to San Francisco is always nice for the change, but I'm really finding working from a hotel room is bloody lonely. I try cafes and stuff but it still doesn't feel quite right. I got to see Shaomei and Ben, though, and one-month-old April! She has the same spiky hair I used to (and sort of still do). Also had lunch with Ion which is always ( Read more... ) -

It still disturbs me that a few days of gloom will sap my body of energy. We had an odd mid-sixties snap of gloom and rain, rare for July in Seattle ( Read more... ) -
gloom is rafflesia
I love Canada, whose mascot seems to be Canada. I love their West Coast (also Montreal), anyway, with its mixed-height buildings. John and I went to Victoria last weekend and woke up stupid early to take the Clipper. Cue walking eight miles and amazing flowers at the Butchart Gardens. Also went to Murchie's, now they have another fan. The next day ( Read more... ) -

Well, the Effexor has been quite effective. I am productive and pretty happy. Yesterday I was heat sick or something though- dizzy and weak most of the day so I had to miss out on a game. I kept drinking cold water, but my existence was not a happy one. It was too darn hot. So we are buying a room AC so there's a room to escape to ( Read more... ) -
