Summers in Seattle

July 21st, 2009 Cathy No comments

Seattle Weather 072109It’s funny. All you East coasters think it rains all the time here in Seattle. This includes my mom, whom after 3 years of me living here also still thinks it rains all the time. Well here’s my proof. It seems you guys are experiencing some rain today. Oh look though! It’s 79 degrees here now and not a cloud in the sky. I won’t lie either, it’s been this nice out since about the end of May. At one point, we even experienced 29 straight beautiful days without rain. So the next time someone tells you, “why would you want to move to/visit Seattle? Doesn’t it rain all the time there?”…tell them Seattle is the West Coast’s little secret!

Bing helps you get home

Bing TruckCan’t figure out if you should take 520 or 90 home from work? Well the other day, I ran into the Bing truck driving around campus and it clearly decided for me that 90 was the way to go.

I am hoping next time it can suggest a 30 minute recipe for dinner or predict if the driving range will be crowded tonight!

Stitching in Yakima

Yakima Valley Stitch Fixed, originally uploaded by swenton.

Have you ever used the stitching or the “create a panoramic photo” feature in Windows Live Photo Gallery? Well if you haven’t it’s pretty sweet and before you know it you’ll find yourself out in the wild with your camera moving from left to right in a steady sweep of the scenery in front of you. This is my 3rd stitch so far (and one of the best yet)! Now if I could only find somewhere to print these amazing photos…

Yelp Review 100: Coming Soon!

May 28th, 2009 Cathy No comments

I will soon be writing my 100th Yelp review. I’ve been Yelping since October 2008 and became Yelp Elite shortly after the new year in 2009. Since then, I have documented my explorations from the east coast to the west coast and met some great people during the Elite events around Seattle.

Tonight, I’ll be attending my 2nd Yelp Elite event at Cinebarre in Mountlake Terrace which is a new 21+ dinner and drinks movie theater. I’m pretty excited about the opportunity to try out this new place especially since we’re getting a sneak preview before tomorrow’s Grand Opening!
