In which I don’t know where to see Mother this year. The US Tour schedule just came out, and wouldn’t you know that a friend is getting married during the Seattle dates and I’ve already committed to singing at her ceremony? Meaning, of course, that if I see Mother in Seattle, I’ll have to leave […]
In which there’s a party. My friend Embo had a birthday yesterday. We took balloons and cupcakes to the bar and got drunk. It was fun. Pictures are here.
In which decorating has unexpected results. In an effort to celebrate the season, which is Spring, I guess, and some Xian holiday I only vaguely care about, I filled these bottles with colored water yesterday and put them on the kitchen windowsill: Nice, huh? I pretty much nailed the whole pastel thing, don’t you think? […]
In which I’m feeling bitchy, so I’m going to bitch. 1.) First of all, that rain? Isn’t just rain. There’s fucking snow in it. I know this because I just rode my bike to work in it, and now I’m cold and wet and my space heater died so I’m going to stay this way […]

In which we’ve moved. Keef has been hosting goblinbox.com for free for years on a sandbox server he had co-located somewhere in California. That box finally got compromised. (I’m surprised it took as long as it did, honestly.) He decided to take the box down since he wasn’t really using it, so I had to […]
In which I’m so boring I did laundry AND cleaned my room AND went to bed early last night. [dropcap]L[/dropcap]ast weekend was the first annual Walla Walla Guitar Festival. It was a raging success, especially considering this was its first year; we sold out and everything! I had a fantastic time, and seriously loved having […]
In which there is a recipe that takes the place of potato-based, flour-thickened chowder. Behold, one of my favorite meals of all time: the humble soup ‘n’ sandwich combo. My version is a creamy veggie chowder with a creamy brie-and-avocado sandwich.
In which I selflessly offer these observations to the innerwebs for science! On alcohol, blood sugar, and adipose tissue: Step 1. Drink alcohol literally every day for months on end. Step 2. Get the flu and stop drinking ’cause you’re sick. Step 3. Gain two inches around your waist without otherwise changing your diet. On […]
In which the universe thinks I’m a dude. [dropcap]L[/dropcap]ast autumn, as I was riding through Whitman campus in the dark, an elderly gentleman spied me and hollered, “Young man! Put a light on that bicycle!”* When I returned to the bar and told the story, it got a pretty big laugh. Fast forward a few […]
