Danielle and i are wandering City Centre waiting for our play to start, and the lobby is full of gingerbread models of Seattle places designed by local architects.

Snowing in Seattle, just in time for the evening commute. It’s like a Bruce Willis movie in the streets - car wrecks, spinning tires, buses in the ditch, phone networks busy, down trees - except that Seattle’s only nemesis is their own inexperience with snow.

Upon returning home, the wet snow had weighed this (already overbearing) shrub down so much that I had to prune a path to the door before I could unpack.

Smoke, fireworks and cheering emanate from Seahawks stadium, so loudly that its audible inside our sealed office building 5 blocks away.
Seattle: The City That Loves You Back
Posted in November 5th, 2006 07:33am MST
It’s 5.30am and I'm just getting home - a feat I haven't accomplished in quite a while. Although I'm sure I'll regret it tomorrow when I wake up at 2pm feeling like the victim of a savage beating with a burlap sack of potatoes, it'll be the perfect ending to a great week.
All the Halloween parties I was lucky enough to attend initiated this movement in a fun direction, Dave’s annual bash being the first, biggest and best of them. My costume was a huge hit - note to self: future getups should continue to employ flashing disco lights and homemade clothing; the chicks really dig it - both after hours and at work, where it snagged a 3rd place and a gift cert during the company’s costumed brewfest. I don't begrudge the 1st and 2nd place winners at all, especially Andy, who'd been growing his hair for months in preparation for shaving it into the Mr T mohawk that completed his Halloween look. I'm definitely not going to be topping that any time soon.
All week there have been happy hours, dinner-and-drinks, costume parties, birthday parties, even going-away parties, and while we'll all be sad to see BrianO not at work monday, I can happily report that all those events were a great time, and I feel socially recharged after it all (despite being physically drained, I'm sure). I spent quality time with at least a representative from nearly every branch in my web of friends, and I feel like a better person tonight because of it.
Several times this week - as I was running through the pouring rain downtown tonight, bolting between doorways and awnings, jacket held over my head; as I was driving friends (new and old) around city streets that I'm starting to know like the back of my hand; as I was waiting for Charla in Occidental Plaza friday night, the orange streetlights illuminating the fallen leaves in the temporary silence during a break in the downpour - I felt at peace with my life and this place. I feel like this is my city, that it’s home, and that I'm not alone here, and not alone in life.
