We've had two days in a row of bright blue sky and sunny hot weather! It's been like 11 months at least since this last happened! I've never really considered myself much of a summer person, instead preferring to stay huddled inside around my Air Conditioner, but Seattle is really turning me into one. I ate lunch quickly today, then spent a half an hour or so chucking a frisbee around.
Also, had friends over and I played Carcassone tonight. Hadn't played before, but I won, barely. I had one point more than the next guy, although I did get to take one more move then everyone else (netting me like 5 or 6 points), and also after we were done there were claims of finding a few extra tiles my daughter had hidden under the table. Oh well!
Got started with the game pretty late, but I accomplished a few things: Got my Mercurial Repo set up at my website, managed to determine that GoDaddy won't let me install a certificate I didn't buy from them on their cheapo-hosting-plan, and fixed a pernicious bug I had introduced into my code (turns out things don't get constructed if you declare them as static or just malloc them and cast the pointer! Whoops. -- Also, I can't believe it's been so long since I've used objects correctly that I've forgotten about this. I guess I am much more of a C programmer now than C++... weird). How could I have forgotten the new.
Also - holy crap I have an optometrist appointment early tomorrow. Yay new glasses, eep still being up this late.
Looking forward to the potpourri tomorrow. I hope I haven't forgotten too much of it - I should really write this down next week.
Yes. This is what Seattle does. It beats you down with ten months of cold, wet, miserable weather, and then rewards you with a bare two months of sunshine so that you're REALLY EXCITED when the sunshine does show up.
But it has been gorgeous, hasn't it?
Absolutely!
I played frisbee again today, we attempted a little bit of 2v2 ultimate. It was probably unwise (hot, sweaty, exhausted at 1:15), but I'm really enjoying the sun. Also, I think maybe I burned my eyebrows because they were sort of purple-y.
