I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Spokane is more like living in the West than the PNW. It's high, dry, and pretty sunny.

Hmmmm. Sounds like Durham with extra hills. Still, I like many aspects of Durham (July and August weather not being among them). So, good to know. Thanks!

Other job possibilities are in Tacoma, WA; Portland, OR; Toronto and various other parts of Ontario; and Victoria, BC. We'll see if anything comes of them.

Anyone have any suggestions for unusual gifts? Mom's getting married. I can't do any weekends away/other plans which require scheduling and time, as my mother's a) workaholic and b) a homebody. Oh, and also I'm kind of broke, but, you know. Other than that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Allyson made me laugh so hard I almost dropped my laptop on the floor.

Calli, Spokane is also in the Very Very Red half of the state.

I think Katie is closer to Yakima than Spokane, but she's still in the Eastern Washington side.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Isn't Katie in the general Spokane area?

I'm in central Washington, Spokane's all the way on the eastern border. But we're both in Eastern Washington, so there are similarities. I've only been there a few times, so I can't really say what it's like to live there, other than that it's a fairly culturally conservative area. Pretty country, though, and a nice (if not terribly big) downtown. Four seasons (hot and dry in the summer--expect 90s).

Stephanie's right--it's the West, not the Northwest, in a lot of ways. It's probably got more in common with, say, Denver, than it does with Seattle.

Wait, didn't NoiseDesign live in Spokane for a while? Or am I thinking of someone else?

I think he did his undergraduate work there.

Huh. I seem to be watching Macho Men on Ice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm in central Washington, Spokane's all the way on the eastern border.

Oops, sorry. If it's any consolation, I do the same thing with MA, and I'm from there. "What, not on the coast? Must be all the way on the other side!"
