1. Spending ample time fishing and rafting the rivers here and doing some light travel to Portland and Seattle in between. Also working my ass off to try and publish something worthwhile.

2. I'm getting hitched.

a) met dream girl
b) dated dream girl for 6 months
c) getting married sometime before the end of the year

She's a Seattle native and a transplant to Eugene. Works as a staff attorney for the state of OR at the worker's comp. board.

Haven't told my family yet, but we'll be in SoCal in a week+ to relay the news. It's slowly started to trickle out through the grapevines. Told her family this past week. Everyone was pretty thrilled about it, and I had a very successful first date with her brother.

And this grapevine is started!!
I promise if I see anyone you know I'll stay mum.
Mazel tov...!

Wow! Excellent work!

From your pictures, the brother looks very promising!
Oh, and the dream girl looks cute, too.

On further examination, I'm guessing she's ..."petite."
ie, VERY petite?

Oh yes, he's an English teacher up in Seattle and definitely something to write home about.

Your query is depressing me a little bit because #1 and #2 have the same answer: "nothing much".

1. Enjoying outdoors, missing the ocean
2. I switched to Awesome (http://awesome.naquadah.org/). It's awesome.

1. Painted a boat and then sailed it in Norway, currently being in California for a week. The rest of the summer will probably be the same old in New Jersey.

2. Kardemommeloven: Man skal ikke plage andre, man skal være grei og snill, og for øvrig kan man gjøre hva man vil.

You can hang out with my relatives [livejournal.com profile] lassen_hiker, [livejournal.com profile] likeabikemike, [livejournal.com profile] bensdiorama in Davis!

Have you read Where I was from (Joan Didion)?

Re: Sacramento

I like Davis. I'm applying for a couple of jobs there. Didn't want to have to drive, but at this point I can't afford to be picky.

Haven't read it--any good? I think it's on my shelf... or in the huge pile next to my shelf... or still in a box...

Where I was from

I liked it a lot! It's set in Sacramento, so it might be good reading to set the mood of your new city.

Got the British comedy right, but the Bolton thing is from a rather famous Monty Python sketch. :-) I've seen most of the seasons of Red Dwarf, but I'm for some reason having trouble remembering that ep. Heh. Fun show though. :-)

I'm waiting for phone calls from my boys.

1.) It's winter here, but is the time people come and visit me, so much of the winter has been entertaining visitors. Following their departure, I'll be going to New Zealand while my visa renews. Also, I'm trying to start, work on, and finish a sweater that I promised I'd knit for Brian for our first anniversary. I'm trying to do that before our second anniversary!
2.) All of a sudden I've started thinking about living in Australia permanently.
