The winds started picking up after lunch today, and at some point after that, the one leaf I had been watching on the tree departed for parts unknown. Goodbye, little leaf!

It's been colder in Seattle this week than it's been since we moved here, and I'm beginning to think it might be worse than when it gets really warm here. (Of course, I'm just saying . . .

My fiance and I normally watch 120 Minutes on VH1 every Sunday night. Nearly every week, one of the videos that they play is "Fire Woman" by The Cult. I absolutely love this song, . . .

I'm asking in approximate terms here, though if you have the exact time, that's great too! :) Also mention where you are, since sunrise seems to be largely dependent on how far north or south . . .

Yesterday, as I was getting ready to leave work in the afternoon, I heard an unfamiliar rumble. You see, I haven't heard thunder for almost a year now, so hearing it rumble across downtown Seattle . . .

I don't normally check the weather often. I have widgets on my work and home computers that tell me the current temperature, but I pretty much just look at those and go. It's Seattle. . . .

My weekend ended up being reasonably productive, as I finally got my sewing machine to cooperate with me for long enough to finish a banner that I've been working on for my friends in Abney Park. . . .

When I left for work this morning, it was wet out. Not raining, but just wet sidewalks and roads, as though it had recently stopped raining. I was fairly oblivious to the weather once I was . . .

This is in response to Marilyn's Strange Promptings #4.

Sometimes I really do think that my car has a cloaking device that I wasn't told about when I bought it. The geek in me says "cloaking device? How awesome!" But then . . .

I probably shouldn't call her little anymore though--she's 23. But she's the baby of the family, and one of my dearest friends. We lived in the same area while she was in college . . .

This morning was the first day I've gone to work noticing that the sun hadn't started to come up yet, and left my office building in the dark. Part of this is that I leave for work about . . .

When we first moved to Seattle, I knew approximately a dozen people here: a friend from when I was in high school and his fiancee, the current and former members of a band that I have helped out on the . . .

The tree outside of my office window has begun the slow shift from bright green to more muted greens, laced with yellows, golds, and browns. It's actually a very dramatic shift, because the yellows . . .

My fiance comes by my office on Wednesday afternoons, during a break between classes. Luckily my office is very laid back, and they don't mind him being here while I work. Or while I sit . . .

Since this weekend, I've only had to wear my winter coat outside once, and that was mainly because I knew we would be getting home very late. For the past few days, though, I've just been . . .

I was born and raised in St. Louis, and lived there until I went away to college, about four hours away from home, and still in the state of Missouri. I'm the oldest of four kids, and the sometimes . . .

If there were any doubts previously about it being fall in Seattle, I think that this morning has settled the doubts. It's most definitely turning into fall. The temperatures are lower, . . .

I grew up in the Midwest, and lived in the relatively flat part of that region. Not the ridiculously flat part known as Kansas, but the relatively flat part of eastern Missouri and southern Illinois. . . .
