Although I'm really, really loving Seattle I think I'm more of a New Yorker at heart. Maybe because I left the city before I'd burned out on it, I will always remember it as a magical time. That being said, at this point in my life I think Seattle is the perfect city for me. Seattle is like New York Lite - New York with half the stress. Here are a few differences I've noted so far:
Seattle bus drivers: "Good morning!"
New York bus drivers: "Are you getting on or what?"
Seattleites wear thongs to work - the kind that go on your feet.
New Yorkers wear thongs to work - the kind that ride up your butt.
New Yorkers like to go to good restaurants to see and been seen.
Seattleites like to go to good restaurants to eat food.
New York bums smell.
Seattle bums smell too.
Seattle is far more laid-back than New York but New York is like nowhere else. One of my favorite websites is www.overheardinny.com but I don't go there too often because it always makes me homesick. My all-time favorite overheard conversation:
Man on street: "Yo, where'd you get those pants?"
2nd Man on street: "Mother-fuckin' ebay, motherfucker!"
And one last note, officially making this a seriously random and blog-like entry: please check out the updated eyeoftheowl site. There have been some mind-blowing photos and graphics added. You'll see the link on the right-hand side of this page, under "blogrolls." And, no, I'm not biased. And, yes, I was completely nude in that photo.
