In which I had a superfun birthday week, and here are the digital images to prove it! sun – Watched NOVA online and knitted and basically recovered from the previous day’s gig. Watched an awesome Bollywood flick. mon – Worked, but only two hours because there was an outage. Didn’t study AT ALL. Bought dog […]
In which there’s a blues festival. Saturday morning my alarms went off at 5:35 and 5:45 respectively. I showered, dressed, grabbed my gig bag and walked out the door at 6:15. IN THE MORNING. After sleeping maybe two hours. Curt and Cookie picked me up, we grabbed breakfast at McDonald’s and drove to Richland, where […]
In which I finally googled the Tea Party because I wasn’t entirely sure what its deal was. I’ve heard some great arguments from intelligent, white, upper-middle class males about how pretty much everything is skewed against them: they’re literally the only segment of society not protected, somehow, from something. Everybody hates them because they’re white, […]
In which I’m kinda disappointed. School starts on Monday. I’m registered, I’ve finally started to get financial aid awards, and I have a list of stuff I need to buy at the bookstore. So exciting! And the city buses have bike racks, so I can ride up to the transit center and take a bus […]
In which it’s… well, if not the best story, at least there’s a learning curve. That’s always good, right? Over the last few months, I’ve invested a non-trivial amount of time in reading up on bicycle maintenance. There are all kinds of informative articles and videos on the Internet, and it’s just a bike, right? […]
In which I haven’t posted in ten days and need to correct that little oversight. Since my last post, I have – gone to the county fair: – danced at the Stone Hut’s outdoor parking lot fair event thing, which was ended by a torrential downpour and at which I was nearly trampled. – played […]
In which there are books. In various formats. I’ll start school in eighteen days (if the financial aid office at WWCC ever awards me any aid, that is) and probably won’t read much that isn’t assigned for the next nine months. That being true, I thought I’d share my current reading-for-pleasure list with you. “Real” […]
In which I need to whine and complain. (Don’t read this drivel. Seriously. Go read something else. I am such a baby.) The boys over at Cocky & Rude nagged me into joining their diet competition back in July, and even though I haven’t really been dieting, I have been weighing myself every Wednesday and […]
In which I talk about really old stuff. The fact that I’m still wasting processor cycles on this pisses me off. I shouldn’t care. I don’t care. I couldn’t care less. But. When I left my husband, I moved into town and my good friend AmmZon let me live with her. She even let me […]
In which I describe the awesome side-effects of suddenly halting one’s intake of various toxins. I smoked my last cigarette in the parking lot of a condo in Joseph, OR on August 14th. I had been heading toward that moment for months, really, and I was ready for it. I didn’t even want that final […]
