It's been interesting around here lately. I've been throwing out applications hoping someone bites and trying to force my way in to other places. It's been a bit rough, but I'm making a go of it. "A go of it" you ask? Yeah... a "go" of it.
I managed to make a quick trip over to Seattle to see a few long lost friends and also to pester a few businesses and try to convince them to hire me. There's nothing like running around a city with a suit then sitting down at a beer bar to throw back a couple Belgians at the end of the day. How is that for a businessman cliche?
Anyway, nothing turned up of the job hunt but I've got a few leads and made a few contacts, so it was more than worth it.
More importantly post avalanche activities have been going well. I think I'm only writing this because last night I had another one of "those" nights. It will always be weird to vividly picture being buried as I'm lying in bed trying to fall asleep. I'll just be laying there listening to music when I feel a little panic creep into my head.... then I can see these thick slabs of snow bury me. It's the exact scenario of where and how I get buried; there's no change to the situation at all. Then of course I sit there in a panic for a few hours trying to get the picture out of my head so I can sleep. I hope with time this avalanche will fade into the background. I feel like I always say this but I'm going to be hopeful because I honestly have no other way to deal with this.
Here's a few shots from Seattle:
How awesome is this?
I don't know why, but I was very intrigued by this.
Right at the Market and they had a few awesome Belgians made with yeast from the Westmalle Abbey. There was also an awesome double IPA that I had with fish and chips.
Exposed this shot for almost 2 minutes around 11PM. Turned out well.
The safety measures of the ferry.
This was a great spot right when you get into Olympic National Park from the north. Pretty cool park, but it was raining... and cold... and some seriously shady towns along the way. But of course I want to make it back to do a sweet hike along the beach. Looks amazing.
