Your blog doesn't have much personal info

This is from an email conversation with a friend. He helped me realize that while one blog is full of gaming stuff, and this one features many enjoyably crazy rants, it's been a while since I've posted about how happy I am here. Just thought I'd share some little rays of sunshine, excerpted from my reply to him.

You enjoying Seattle still?

Yes, I love it here. I'm enjoying life in general a lot more than I was a year ago.

Addicted to coffee yet?

Very specifically avoiding it. Years ago, when I managed the movie theatre, I perpetually had an iced mochachino in my hand or on my desk. While the smooth blend of coffee and chocolate calls to me in my dreams, I have thus dodged readdiction.

Getting tired of all that rain?

No, not at all. It mists for a couple hours several times a week, but there's real sunlight every-other day, which is enough for me. I'm looking out at beautiful blues skies right now. The views out my window, now that they removed the construction cocoon, are breathtaking.

Been up the space needle?

Not since moving here. I've been up a couple times on previous trips, but it's like $13 or $14 admission, so not worth doing more than every couple of years.

Since the move, I've been to the Locks a couple times, the beach once, a couple of parks, I go to The Market every week or two, we've driven down to Portland to visit friends twice. There's a Rennaissance Festival in August, GwenCon in September, ConQuest in February (and another Con in the summer, whose name escapes me, a mile from my home), music festivals all summer long, TibetFest in October, the Twin Peaks Fan Festival every summer, etc. In Albuquerque, regardless of income, I'd just stay home and play games. In Seattle, I'd be happy to expend infinite resources going out and doing things. If we had the money, we could try a new Vegetarian restaurant every weekend for a year - there's seriously that many. I love this city.
