today’s weather complaint
It is snowing here again and I. fucking. hate. it. I HATE IT. Snow is the worst thing in the entire world. It’s ugly, it’s dirty, it’s wet and messy and a big fucking pain in the ass to deal with unless you’re 10 years old and get to stay home from school. For grown-ups, it’s useless worthless crap.
I have really been thinking of moving somewhere where it never snows. The next time I move it will definitely be somewhere like that. Two possible options are Atlanta or LA. I think the weather in LA is better overall, but the state might fall into the ocean at any moment now. And it’s so far away. But it’s not like I have to stay here on the East Coast for anything.
I was talking to my cousin yesterday, who lives in LA, and was given the suggestion of Austin, TX, as a possibility, and I was all “Dude I can’t live in Texas! Even Austin–as ‘liberal’ as it might be compared to the rest of the state–is still populated by Texans, and most Texans are Republicans, and I can’t live as one tiny little non-Republican in the middle of a whole army of them.” And I know that I’d last about a week before I was forced to club someone in the head for some absurd right-wing statement. So Austin is out. No offense to anyone I know who lives in Texas. You know who you are.
Atlanta is definitely cheaper than LA but it’s got worse weather, and I am thinking not as good of a music & photography scene. Could be wrong about that. LA is probably a lot more shallow than Atlanta. Although there are lovely people there too but given its primary industry, there have to be a lot of people obsessed with their looks. Everyone’s a little obsessed but there are limits.
Anyway every time it snows some other warm part of the country calls me a little louder. So if you have a decent non-creepy well-paying job you’d like to offer me, please drop me a note. Nothing weird. Nothing too weird. If you want to buy my house while you’re making job offers, all the better.

please add 10 and 0….yikes. tough stuff just to comment! even though this latest entry is over a year old, i was curious if you decided to move out of the cold and to somewhere warmer. i live in atl now, and i don’t miss the winters of the great white north one bit. the polled fucking sucks just as bad though, but only lasts a month thank god.

that should say “pollen”, not “polled”

LOL I moved to ATL too this past October! I love it and do not miss the weather up there one bit. Even though we had a “bad” winter, with the whole 2″ of snow.
I got your Flickr thing too, will go add you.
Ha what a coincidence! They get more Northerners down here every year I think. In 50-70 years it’s going to be like Del Boca Vista, Florida. [Seinfeld reference to an old people’s community]
