Short Update
I've been doing a lot of stuff I should have posted, but I didn't. So, the next recap:
1. Snow after thanksgiving. Totally sweet in general, if slightly annoying in my apartment's heating not being as good as I'd like. I took some pictures and should post them somewhere.
2. Skiing on the 10th: went to snoqualmie with people from work. Except for getting mixed up locationwise, heavy fog, and painful feet/legs/ankles, it was totally sweet. Only did blues/greens, but the fog got better after lunch and it actually started snowing. Probably had 2 inches on the car when we quit, and we actually spun out twice on the way back (well, maybe more like 1.5, since once was just a lack of stopping rather than a proper spin out). My ankles hurt on monday.
3. Weather on thursday/friday. I didn't think it was too bad despite people saying it was going to be. And then I walked to the bus ~5pm on thursday. We're talking 6"-1' of water in the street. Not even counting the 30+ mph wind. Took me an hour to get home and I was much the sadder (and wetter) for it. Could feel my apartment moving in the wind later on that night, which was rather odd. Friday looked normal until like 1/2 the office didn't show up. I got a bunch of work done, though, which was handy. My grandmother, though, looks to not get power back for about a week which is sad. She's fine (and actually going to visit my aunt tomorrow or so), though, which is less sad.
4. Played some poker last night. I lost a bunch, but it was fun. Meh, I clearly need to get better.
5. I am going to try and have some sort of post-christmas (12th night?) party. I should have an actual plan later. Whee.
