About several months ago, I spent some time in New York, mostly with Ken and sometimes with other people. I went to two birthday events for Ken and it was pretty good. I also saw the High Line, which was ok. Then I went home to see my parents some more. We went into New York again and saw the Skyscraper Museum (awesome) and the High Line again.
Then I went to Pittsburgh. I hung out with Chris and Lea and jcreed and gwillen and William and Alan and some other people. There was a Seven party, which should have been mildly awkward (I am a bit too old for college parties) but instead was awesome due to the conglomeration of old people hanging around outside and the drunken type theory. The Underground Tour happened, but I missed it because it was only three hours (!!!!!!) and started at seven (!). I had eat'n'park with Alan in the middle of the night and went to jcreed's party (during to the UGT), which existed because he is now in Philadelphia. Lea and I hung out in a coffeeshop but not quite enough.
Then I came to Seattle. I hung out with Cynthia and Karl a lot until other people got back from the summer, and then I hung out with the other people and them. Amanda now lives in my house which is pretty cool. Alice, Tom and Jess now live in San Francisco, which is significantly less cool.
I went to Alice, Tom and Akiva's housewarming in San Francisco. The morning of, I watched several people move Akiva's stuff into their house. Then Tom, Akiva and Jess' POD arrived via a mechanism only slightly less awesome than orbital drop, but with more pneumatics. I helped carry stuff up the stairs, and put Jess' stuff in a UHaul, which was driven to Jess, Brewer and cprides and helped carry it up the stairs. Then we got alcohol with a UHaul and prepared the house for a party.
The party itself was pretty awesome from my perspective; it was good to see all those people at once again.
The next day, on not enough sleep, Akiva, Dan Blanford, Carolyn and I participated in a puzzle hunt, which was ok but would have been awesome on more sleep. Then we had a quick dinner with Tom and Alice and I returned to Seattle.
At some point my sister returned from the Frozen North. She brought my parents, who had spent the last parts of the trip on her ship. We went to a lot of delicious restaurants and also to Bainbridge Island, via ferry.
At some point before or after that, there was a Math Party in our house, which involved lots of drunk mathematicians and was pretty fun, except for the drunk, bitter Chinese man shouting about politics.
About a week ago, I went out to dinner with my sister, just returned from firefighting-and-surviving-chemical-attack school in Florida, for her birthday.
I did almost nothing of interest on Halloween.
Tonight after TGIF, I went to dinner with Jacob, Glibert, V, Justine and another ex-undergrad named Mike. Then we (minus Jacob) went to Solstice. Now, work?
It looks like I will not be going to the CTY New Years reu, which makes me sad. However, I will be going to Istanbul instead, which is super awesome!
