Keep honking, I'm mentally floating around Lake Union in a hot tub boat listening to Killing Joke while trying to find an interesting way to describe a Japanese guitar's tone in 50 characters or less.
But I think this one, the multiple times, is the really truth-teller.
Introduce yourself with five concerts you've seen multiple times.
Slayer
The War on Drugs
Front 242
Greyhounds (Amazing and if they are near you, I don't care what you listen to, GO.)
KMFDM (they were, in fact, doing it again.)

Very disappointed to find out that the "OPE market" that is being aggressively advertised to me on LinkedIn has nothing to do with midwest speech mannerisms.

Look, I loved LA for most of my time there and have many close friends that live and die for the Dodgers, which I get, but Toronto fans donated a ton of cash to Seattle Children's Hospital after they beat the Mariners as a thank you? Yeah.

We can hear fog horns (whistles is the proper term it seems?) from the new place, and as someone that has only ever lived near rivers, it is REALLY COOL. And weird. But mainly cool. Like, "oh shit, is a ship about to hit the building?" (It is not.)

If you happened to find my driver's license in West Seattle, Queen Anne, or Interbay yesterday, I'd love to know where it is. 🫠
Evidently that was the price for surviving the move. Which would be super-funny-ha-ha if my car tags didn't expire in 7 days.

Welp, things happened fast and we're moving to Seattle permanently. I just crossed the 20-years-in-LA line in mid August, so that's enough sun for one lifetime. Psyched to eat as much fresh King salmon as physically possible.

Sometimes you go to send a reaction GIF that just opens a nostalgia cupboard in your brain. I need a Looney Tunes decompression day, dang.

Asparagus makes EVERYONE's urine smell weird, but NOT EVERYONE can smell that smell. For years, scientists thought that asparagus made only SOME PEOPLE's urine smell, because some folks reported that it didn't. This is an example of why it's so important to ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION.

This was the kind of week that has had that inexplicable tension in it that’s left me pretty sure we’re about to get blindsided by a natural disaster or civil war side quest. Maybe I shouldn’t have spent the morning reading deep shit about the Cascadia subduction zone.
