Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

A question for Buffistas, who live everywhere: If I like cloudy, cool weather, that rarely gets below 40F or above 75F, and I like the company of intelligent, educated people and interesting things to do, and I want to stay in North America, where should I live?

edited because i'm a dummy: degrees F not C.

Hey. New board.

  • blink* I'm gonna assume you mean 40 F and 75 F. And, that sounds like possibly Seattle? Or San Francisco? But that's a remarkably small temperature range for anywhere. Especially with global warming and all.

Indeed it is a small temperature range. I know it's largely unrealistic, but that's where I'm comfortable, so the closer I can come to that range, the happier I'll be.

And I edited because, yeah, F not C. ::smacks head::

I loved both Seattle and San Francisco when I visited them.

This was pretty much my mission statement and why I chose San Francisco. Seattle and Portland would also have fit, but SF seems to have an even narrower temperature range than those two, if weather.com is to be believed.

Silly people. I'd rather it not drop below 75F evah. Guess I should stay in Florida in the winter.

San Francisco wins as far as weather, but I think I'd need to make twice my current salary to afford to live there.

I also fear the future giant earthquake is only waiting on my presence.

YAY, I finished the rough draft of my case study analysis! And I did class reading and annotated bibliography stuff yesterday, so now I can PLAY!

Well done Nora.

I have been doing lots of work work stuff today. Now on to my home work stuff. Next task on my list is going on the roof and taking a sledge hammer to the chimney. It's crumbling and needs to be replaced. We rented a dumpster for the construction debris. DH is replacing the roof on the shed, which has turned into a bit more frame work than he planned. Since it is taking him longer than intended I thought I would go for the chimney project. I'm hoping it ends up being as much fun as I anticipate.

On weekends I spend a bit of time catching up with COMM. I'm about 1200 posts behind there. Still in March 2005 today. It's like re-reading a favorite book. Also, Buffistas funny.

Holy crap, Laura. I need Advil, caffeine, and two days of procrastinating just to reorganize my bedroom, and you're sledgehammering down a chimney.

True dat. But Oakland, for example, seemed pretty reasonable (well, it seemed reasonable in comparison with, let's remember, Boston).

I have set myself all of one task today, which is to write a cover letter and email my resume off to a placement service. I just hate doing it. Wah!
