A few Charleston-isms June 15th, 2009

Comments Off

So, here begins my on-going list of what we will call “Charleston-isms” as this new home grows on me:

  1. Cars: My god, I’ve never seen so many accidents in my life. It’s like people say hello by hitting each other with their cars, and they are friendly here.
  2. Dogs: everyone has them, I’d like one too.
  3. Rain: it happens. In fact, it’s a pretty much guaranteed that there will be a hair-raising thunderstorm roll through at some point in the afternoon.
  4. Boats: also, everyone has at least one if not two in their front yard, I’d like one or two as well.
  5. Surf: there is none, but what little they have is fun.
  6. Water: It’s everywhere and it’s beautiful
  7. Bridges: a result of #6, and also everywhere
  8. Bugs: comes along with #6
  9. Sunshine: wonderful when not #3
  10. Humidity: combine #3, #6 and #9 and there you have it.
  11. Small, Friendly City: It’s really cool how friendly people are here. I’ve been here only a month now, and I shit you not, you WILL bump into people you know. Pretty cool.

Kickball and beers June 10th, 2009

Week three in Charleston? or is it week 4?

Got co-opted into my younger brothers kickball team – AWESOME! Nothing like drinking a few beers and pulling out a quad kicking a stupid red rubber ball! We found out last minute we made the “play-offs” (pretty sure everyone makes the playoffs) so team super-bad took the field for one more attempt at glory. good times.

Also had my first going out in the Chuck-Towne downtown; Not too shabby for a random Tuesday night. This could probably grow on me….

as a footnote, the new job is an ass-kicker, which is good! and I’m still talking to myself as according to wordpress the site has 0 traffic, which is actually more coforting than one would think….
