Weather

Saturday was amazing! Beautiful weather. Sunday, miserable as hell.

The thing I can't stand about Seattle weather is that it can be so
variable within the same day. Like I'll require long sleeves and a
jacket on the way to work but on the way home I'm sweating my ass off
on the bus, wishing I wasn't stuck with what I'm wearing. I feel like
I should keep a supply of jackets at work and bring the bunch home
once a week. This could be the reverse too where a day will start out
nice enough then by mid afternoon it could be a torrential downpour.
I'm considering dressing for the exact opposite of MJ on Q13s weather
advice for a week. At least back home in the Canadian wilderness if I
was freezing my ass off I would be freezing my ass off from dawn to
dusk.

Really Real Change

When I'm walking from the bus stop to work, I am sometimes assailed by
homeless people selling Real Change. Today it was pretty girls pushing
their Jehovah's witness pamphlet.

This blog will live

Recently, I considered killing this blog. I began reading some old entries. I'm pleased that I'm not totally embarassed by them and that I am somewhat entertained. There's some clunky grammar but some great memories. There is an entry from 2004 where I plug the Moldy Peaches, haha, proof that I was into them way before this Juno garbage.
