There and Back Again: The Soul of the Commuter
sometimes i read The New Yorker. they have an interesting article on commuting in the latest issue. according to census statistics Americans average 51 minutes each way. i drop tessa off at her office in the morning and then go to my office. [...]

there is really nothing going on. and it’s kind of nice. we’ve been done moving for a little while, just a couple straggling boxes. we don’t have any commitments or obligations. i like not having to do anything if i don’t want to.
we’re starting to exercise in earnest again. the [...]

“Providing the HPV vaccine doesn’t promote sexual promiscuity any more than providing the hepatitis B vaccine promotes drug use.”
-Texas Governor Rick Perry defending his executive order that mandates sixth-grade girls be inoculated with the HPV vaccine

a friend also brings up a good point.

Why do people keep thinking kids need an [...]

so here we are again. all moved to a shiny new web host that actually has responsive customer support and reportedly doesn’t go down for days at a time. i’ll have a button for them when i get my theme restored. i just upgraded to Wordpress 2.1 and it seems i overwrote [...]

so i have a new host.-á more about that later.-á lost comments on the last 3 posts.-á bummer.-á i’m going to cut my losses though, the migration from my old host was very painful and time consuming.-á i’ll post details later.-á boy will i.

work today just flew by. why? because we were so busy we didn’t have time to whine about how much longer the day is. i can’t say i’m surprised, it’s the beginning of the year and it’s monday. so not only are people in a rush to get things up and [...]

yeah, yeah, i don’t wanna hear it.- just haven’t felt like posting lately.- so here’s the executive summary.

lost both my cats
broke tessa’s site…. twice
started world of warcraft again… for the third time

these things have been taking up a lot of my time, and then i’m just too tired or don’t feel like updating [...]

so my webhost decided to initiate a huge, customer impacting server migration and thought we might not notice if they didn’t tell us.- well technically they said something in their forums, but i don’t read them.- because they’re never updated.- a mail would have been nice.
both mine and tessa’s databases were lost.- [...]

been a few days…
new year’s eve came and went, and i hardly noticed.- brian came over and we went to the Celtic Swell for eats and drinks.- i’ve discovered i like whiskey.- we got there too early, got drunk too early.- after dinner we went home and watched a pretty awful [...]

so i found my old blogger site and ported over all 288 posts from may 2003 to july 2004. since blogger doesn’t have any kind of exporting, and i couldn’t figure out a way to hack it to a wordpress importable format, i did it by hand. so now my last year of [...]

lately i’ve been reading about what seattle plans to do about the apparently crumbling Alaskan Way Viaduct. the two options presented to us are a: replace the viaduct with something that can actually withstand a reasonable earthquake, or b: get rid of the viaduct and build an underground solution. i haven’t actually been [...]

Congress Gets Longer Work Week
imagine that, now they have to work the same amount as the rest of us. you can make your own opinions, and please do share them in the comments; but i really only want to discuss one thing here and that is the following quote:
“Keeping us up here eats away [...]

so i was bad and i got some new critters for my aquarium.- the lfs was having a sale on clams and i picked up a nice looking derasa.- it’s supposedly an easier clam to keep than the crocea and that seems to be doing well so i figure i can keep this [...]

i’ve never seen snow on the beach before. but that’s what’s happening outside my apartment on alki right now.

so today is my birthday. my girlfriend got me an awesome coat. it was rather uneventful, like always. i kind of like it that way. i just spent time with tessa. she made me a cake. then we made dinner and brian came over. we watched the [...]

i was checking out my traffic and i’m completely baffled how i get so much.- then i realized it was because i had several hundred comments that were all about prescription drugs and porn.- i had finally cleaned my site of them last week but my top searches are still registered for those [...]

i’m glad that’s over. nothing but an entire month of waiting and disappointment. to start things off, my new bike wheels that i had start purchasing IN JULY were finished early in the month. the rest of the month was spent waiting on shipping that just never seemed to happen. this [...]

i know, i never post anymore. and every time this becomes apparent i say i’ll post more. then i don’t. so i’m not making any promises.
so what’s new…
i set up my first marine aquarium.

kinda blurry but you get the picture… HA!
it’s about done cycling, all my bad parameters are almost zero. [...]

yeah, yeah i don’t post. though tessa does a pretty good job of notifying the world of the interesting things that are going on =)
news in a nutshell
- i’ve been lazy and not riding my bike into work
- i now have a marine aquarium sitting on top of my bookshelf. it contains a [...]

today sucked quite a bit i got to dig postholes for signs that go in front of handicapped parking stalls. so i’m digging this damned hole and i hit this enormous rock. painter jared: there’s a big fucking rock in this damned hole painter tessa: that sucks painter jared: this fucking hole is a metaphor [...]

we’re going hiking today. things didn’t work out for camping this weekend so we’re just going to go on a day hike. we’re going to Heather Lake. some people in the review said their fat old dog made it without too much trouble so i figure i could make it too. [...]

i don’t post when things are going well. and when i post when things are going well, there isn’t much to report. i suppose no news is good news right?
we’ve got about all of tessa’s things moved. there are just a few more things left at her place that we’ll deal with [...]

i’m bad at this. it’s hard to keep posting when everything is just being great.
so cycling has pretty much taken over my life. tessa and i went to a used bike sale in Everett last weekend and we each picked up a used bike. i got this pearl white Azuki road bike [...]

looking at my traffic stats it seems to have been going up quite a bit since the beginning of the year. i can now say i have “several hundred” unique hits a month (and no they’re not all bots). why? i dunno. it’s not like i’m particularly interesting. hell, i [...]

things are going surprisingly well. i still haven’t unpacked much but i’m all moved in. i’ve been commuting by bike 3-4 days a week and it’s getting me in great shape. the weather has been getting better and better. my girlfriend is awesome. for the first time since before christmas [...]

i made it through the week. and what a week. i’m taking tomorrow off so i can really pack up my apartment. i got rid of a bunch of clothes i never wear, which felt good, and packed up all my books, dvds, and video games. now i just need to [...]

so i rearranged my apartment today, slightly. i moved my tv back into the corner it was in when i first mmoved in, though farther out of the corner so i can leave my speakers about 6 feet apart. i moved this cube shelf thing i got at ikea out of my closet [...]

so after 3 days of cycling reasonable distances and a soccer game, my legs hurt. i feel better, but tired. this exercising thing seems to be working out. but i’m finding very quickly that bikes are money sinks. just what i need, another expensive hobby.
especially since my place is very empty [...]

i installed an anti-spam plug-in yesterday and my comment spam has gone from about 60 per day to ZERO in the last 18 hours. suck it spammers.
i rode my bike to work today. i discovered exactly how steep the north side of queen anne hill is; at least when you have a 40/15 [...]

so i’ve been acquiring things for my kitchen lately. i’ve found this great cooking store in the pike market called Sur la Table that has all kinds of quality kitchen stuff. the other day i got a really nice bamboo cutting board and a bright orange spatula. yesterday i walked down there [...]

i seem to have nailed making chicken parmesan without under, or overcooking it. and it’s pretty damn tasty if i do say so. it seems that i am only good at cooking comfort food. which is good and bad. when you’re feelin down, come to my house, i’ll cook ya something [...]

figures i only post about random crap and momentous occasions.
i don’t feel like details. but let’s just say i’m an asshole. i’ll be the frist to admit it. no, i’m not proud of it. yes i’m sorry. completely sorry? yes and no.
why?
first, i had more time to think about [...]

not much happening. so there isn’t much to post about. i’m going to look at a really nice sounding apartment today off eastlake. it sounds too good to be true. it’s the lower unit of a triplex, lots of sun, off street parking, close to bus lines. good for kitties, [...]

so i got a big fat raise the other day. my review also turned up that i have problems with orginization and frustration issues (i.e. opening my big mouth and saying shit i shouldn’t be saying so loudly). dead on.
so this got me thinking, “hey, i could move to a nicer place!” [...]

vacation is over and it’s back to work. i got a new work lappy, so that was kinda cool. except my docking station breaks my net connection. but this means i’ll get to work from home occasionally. yay?
i playing soccer with some guys from the office; that starts today. this [...]

so i’m on vacation again. it’s great. i like this not working and getting paid thing.
christmas was good. i’m not equipped for a bar, i just need some booze. and i got myself Guitar Hero. it’s a lot of fun and really hard.
going snowboarding tomorrow. which should be fun [...]

got back from whistler yesterday. conditions weren’t ideal, it was kinda icy and the bottom half of both mountains were closed, but we had fun. oh and it started snowing drifts the morning we left. the road out was covered and kinda slick. i’m always glad for AWD in incliment weather. [...]

this past weekend we got a christmas tree. not just any tree, the perfect tree. tessa’s dad has a tree farm on the side and said we should come get one. so in trade for a bottle of wine, we got a tree. sounded like a pretty good deal to me.
it [...]

my property manager just emailed me to say they bought us a dehumidifier. she’s inclined to believe that the mold isn’t in the wall. i’m skeptical because it came back in the exact same spots as last year. though on the other hand the same conditions are present: increased humidity and warmth [...]

we looked at a place on capitol hill yesterday. it has a lot going for it, but there are a few things i don’t like about it.
pros
1. it’s not 3 feet underground. yeah it’s in a hill, but no wall of the building has dirt on the other side of it. [...]

post modernist writing pisses me off quite a bit in its smugness and seemingly blas+¬-ness with damned near everything. but there is a certain understanding and appreciation hidden is the post-modernist observation of every day things. don’t know what i mean? read White Noise by Don DeLillo. it took me a [...]

tessa baked me a cake for my berfday. it’s like a giant brownie. tasty.
it’s also getting cold, and wet, finally. this also means my apartment is being invaded by mold. that’ll happen when two of your walls have dirt on the other side of them running the entire length of the [...]

my berfday was on saturday, i’m 23. i had lots of beer and bratwurst.
the drive from my parent’s place to seattle is long. i’ll post more about it later. i’m glad to have visited, but i like my apartment, and seattle, and most importantly: my own bed.

the weather is finally becoming tolerable again. it’s hovering in the mid 50s and raining occasionally. i missed the rain. more importantly i missed the snow. we better get some this year or i’m gonna be pissed.
one thing this weather also brings is skirts and boots. i was thinking about [...]

the way movabletype works is that a configurable number of days of posts are shown on the page. so every day that threshold moves up a day and more posts drop off display. it almost feels like that photo in Back to the Future. and if i accidentally hook up with my [...]

just got back from Cedar’s on 50th with liz, kevin, and jessica. it’s this great indian place, at least on par with chutney’s. so my tummy is happy. tomorrow i think we’re meeting for happy hour at a place called chapel. i think i’ve seen it, and it looks pretty sweet. [...]

so i’m unfreezing my warcraft account in a couple weeks. what with kat going back to school, she’ll be doing homework and such most evenings leaving me with not a hell of a lot to do. like that justification ^.^
so what server do you west coasters play on? i’ve decided that WoW [...]

so after tessa dyed her hair, there was some left over. so we did mine. you can hardly tell anything was done at all. it’s about half a shade darker, and if you look at it in the right light, it has purple/red highlights. nothing really to write home about. [...]

so i talked to a dealer who gave me nice numbers. he doesn’t have one on the lot, but he’s getting me one to test drive and possibly purchase. when i go to drive it i might just buy it. then i’ll have a new car on monday.
/me squeals like a little [...]

you remember those games you played when you were little? how suddenly an empty field or a boring playground structure would instantly become a vast desert expanse or a dark fortress teeming with evil? read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. it’s like that, only more sinister.
this project isn’t staying true to the mission [...]

i was paging through one of ruben’s friend’s LJ and saw that kevin had given her a “Rogues do it from behind” shirt. it made me lust for WoW again. but it’s just not practical anymore. i really really want to play again, but all the reasons i said last week still [...]

i got a PSTwo over the weekend so i could play Katamari Damacy and Xenosaga. not just to play those two games, but mostly. the new slim ps2 really is tiny, i’m kind of surprised. i really wish i could afford a hd tv because it’s already kick ass enough having big [...]

so i canceled my world of warcraft subscription. i never should have started a character on an east coast server. the reason i’m quitting is not because i don’t like it anymore, i really still do like it. but my guild is getting to the point where all we do is raid [...]

i refuse to talk about current events today.
so tahuya is a happening place. we spent the weekend out there at a friend’s house, mostly on the boat. just lounging in the sun. we shot off fireworks and such. here’s me playing with sparklers.

it was great. away from the bustle of [...]

just once i want to lock eyes with a complete stranger and not have it be the uncomfortable experience people assume it is, and just have it be the chance meeting of eyes between two people who don’t know each other.
you know how when you ride the bus with any kind of regularity you start [...]

i got a pair of these tonight. i went to the store and listened to the 595 (black version of the 590) and the 600 but neither of them sounded as good. the 555 are so much more comfortable too. they just sounded like they were more balanced throughout the sound range. [...]

my threadless t-shirts got here over the weekend. they’re great. i wore this one today and all my co-workers just laughed and thought it was cool. then i told them about the threadless concept, and they thought it was cooler.
didn’t do much this weekend. just kind of hung about with people. [...]

Illinois Pharmacist hypocrite and complete dumbass – reuters
there are illinois state laws requiring pharmacists to dispense the morning after pill. this guy won’t do it because he says it terminates a pregnancy. except for the part about the stuff in Plan B is the same chemical that is in a number of other [...]

the bus was awfully empty today. in the morning when i have the late shift, i usually have to stand for a while because the bus is packed with students. this morning it was almost empty. i found a seat right away. it was kinda sad because there were a few [...]

camping was awesome. here are some things i learned:

beaches are cool
camp fires rock
i need a proper sleeping bag and pad
two words in relation to fires: mesquite camper
did i mention the ground being hard?

i also bought some shirts from threadless which is now conveniently linked on the left nav bar. why over there? [...]

it was brought to my attention that i had used the improper “to” in the tagline yesterday.
my bad.
so we’re going camping this weekend. i’m excited. i know we’re going to forget lots of shit. but that’s ok. the whole point is to take a case of beer, a tent, and some [...]

yes, i know i’ve been a deadbeat what with the not updating and the non-spiffying up of this page. too fuckin right i put links and shit on here.
i’ve been busy.
i’ve also got to finish building a page for my uncle who is a professional photographer. since someone else is relying on that, [...]

first of all, you need to visit kittenwar.
second of all, you need to see my kitty on there.
this picture was from when i first brought him home.
that was almost two years ago. it will be two years this june. my neighbor’s boyfriend found a litter of kittens abandoned by his apartment building and [...]

so today for the first time in longer than i can remember, i did something with my hair other than straight up spike it, or put it under a hat. why did i do this?
1. it’s getting too hot for a hat, and i need a haircut
2. it was time for change
3. [...]

so new domain, new site, new direction. please register with typekey, it makes things easier for comments since i won’t have to moderate you. otherwise you’ll be approved as i get to them. i’ll be making a lot of adjustments in the next week or two, so keep it locked.

the fucking fire alarm went off in the middle of my set tonight, on live fucking radio. i was pissed, needless to say. i was tearin it up too. but thats nothing new i find myself getting better and better at it. i’m practicing more too, its great. i’ve finally mastered matching phrases [...]

i got some lovin =D so now i’m floating again, just like saturday. *sigh* sometimes i’m such a girl. but if being happy like this makes a girl, so be it =D

ok, so my other site is fully up and running. so i won’t be making updates here any more. update your bookmarks to point to http://inverseinfinity.net so don’t come here anymore, there won’t be anything here. see you on the other side.

yesterday was the one-year-ish anniversary when me and kat met. we went to the seattle aquarium. it was neat, but hardly worth 11 bucks. i like looking at fish, and it was really neat to see all the colorful fish they had in their main tank. their dome tank was nifty too because it was [...]

‘ve figured it out, its friday. my roommate helped me establish this last night when i was talking to jim. i was reasonably sure the next day would be friday, but then i got confused by jim thinking it was wednesday, then i thought it was wednesday too. then i had to confirm with brian [...]

so i didn’t get that job. apparently i don’t have enough relevent experience. *shrug* granted i’m no super-coder, but i’m not bad. and while i don’t blame them for judging my performance based on the interview, they kind of have to, i still think it sucks that i’m judged during a time when i’m nervous [...]

so i’ve been reading harry potter a lot. since tuesday i’ve read the first 3 books, and am now halfway through the fourth. this week has been another rollercoaster ride of job hunting. on wednesday i had a phone interview with AtlasDMT, they make internet marketing tools. it was a technical screening, so the guy [...]

this past week has been insane. i’ve been getting interviews left and right, so something has got to come up soon. last week was with Grist Magazine, that seemed to go well. yesterday was with Russel/Mellon, but its just data entry, so while i’m not excited, i’m not going to turn it down if they [...]

ok, so i have an interview with Grist magazine tomorrow afternoon. its an internship, its only a grand a month, but its experience. and if i get hired i’ll have money and i’ll stop bitching about being poor. so wish me luck and send me good vibes and all that jazz. i’m ravenously hungry as [...]

so i think i screwed myself out of two jobs today. one for Grist magazine, the dude called me this morning, before i’d had a shower, so i’m still kinda groggy (nevermind the fact i’ve been up 2 hours already). i’m so not ready for this call, in fact i’d almost forgotten i’d applied for [...]

(22:45:06) KittystarLink: i can’t afford it at the moment
(22:45:12) Number2501: how much is it?
(22:45:48) KittystarLink: 6400
(22:46:13) Number2501: there, go get it
(22:46:22) KittystarLink: thanks!
(22:46:30) Number2501: it helps tremendously
(22:46:38) KittystarLink: you’re my kol sugar daddy, you know that right

so i went to seattle yesterday and interviewed with the staffing service. they had me take some basic office bitch tests, for word, excel, and a typing test. apparently i was the fastest to ever complete the tests, and the highest scores. thats what the hot seattle hipster girl that was interviewing me said anyhow. [...]

so i’m starting my first try at vector graphics today. seems pretty easy so far, there’s just a few snags i’m hitting but they are easily workable. maybe see this up on the web tonight, possibly tomorrow. depends on if i decide to go into the studio and work on some stuff for drawing that [...]

yeah, i’m pretty depressed about the job thing right now. i mean REALLY. the average search time for someone with my degree is six months in seattle. that could mean up to a year. i don’t have that kind of time or that kind of money. in fact, i think i have two months to [...]

so my computer makes funny noises more often now. its starting to get less annoying, and more worrisome. not that the sound is becoming less annoying, its just the worry that my computer is going to fall apart is beginning to outweigh my annoyance, but not by much. i can barely plug anything into the [...]

progress on http://inverseinfinity.net is slow going. so keep coming here. i’ll update when a proper launch happens over there. i bought a book, Dreamweaver MX 2004: The Missing Manual. its gotten good reviews, and i trust O’Reilly and David Pogue, so it should be useful. so this should speed things along. not to mention get [...]

http://inverseinfinity.net is now officially open for business. its pretty ugly right now, but thats because i haven’t actually built a site, i just used the default templates that came with MovableType. so this blog is going to be phased out. the last entry for this blog will just be a link and a short message [...]

i am now the proud owner of http://www.inverseinfinity.com i found a free web hosting service that had all the stuff needed to support MovableType, so i bought a domain name and started setting up camp there. the name should be propogated in the next couple days. hopefully this issue with MT i’m having will go [...]

yeah, so yoga kicks ass. it also kicks my ass. its showing me just how out of shape and not limber i am. after a couple weeks of this i’ll certainly not be the string bean i am. instead i will be IRON STRING BEAN! so today i need to go to the fish store [...]

so its graduation day. suck. lots of people here, its loud and obnoxious. but i guess they’re feeding me and giving me money, and they’re family after all, so i suppose its ok. the ceremony is something like 3 hours long though. that really does suck. oh well.

Sashimi the Ninja fish has died. we gave him a burial at sea.

so tomorrow, there’s going to be like, 20 people in my apartment. 12 people, including myself, kat, and various members of my family, 6 people including brian and his family, and then another five possible people if any friends stop by. its going to be insane. and it better not fucking rain, because those 20 [...]

so i finished and turned in both my papers. i’m done with this semester. i’m pretty much done with college too. the graduation ceremony is on sunday. all i really have to do to graduate is finish 1.17 credits, which i’m doing with a Drawing class and Yoga over the summer. so i really have [...]

so i like the way this blog looks, aside from colors and the picture. i also recoded that annoying list of previous posts and archives into convinient, linkable drop down boxes. i know the previous post one looks kinda weird, but it should resize itself once i’ve gotten 10 posts with a reasonable title length. [...]

ok, so i’ve initiated a redesign to get in the spirit of Blogger’s own redesign. i don’t really like the color scheme, but i don’t have time to fix that now. i should be writing a paper. but now Blogger has made itself like LJ, only better, because i get everything you kids that are [...]

i just got an email from a company saying they want to give me a job. only catch is that its part-time and unpaid. however, they did mention a possibility of getting paid once things got off the ground. its a napster-like music service that only services electronic type music. i applied for two of [...]

so apparently there’s a new blogger interface. i’m not sure how i like it. its too… microsofty with its bright cool colors and rounded edges. oh well. so i finished my art projects. damned is my book ugly. the master copy came out pretty good. but the art book… damn. thats too bad. i should [...]

soooooo, finals week starts. i’m working on my artist book for my art class. i’ll be in the art building in the art room on the second floor, not the painting room and not the printmaking lab, the other one. you should come visit me and see how my work is coming. or not. but [...]

OMGWTFLOLKTHXBYE

so i bought a 40 gallon fish tank today. its enormous. i found it on craigslist for $60. it was an entire setup. undergravel filter, powerhead, magnum filter, the works. over $300 of stuff for only $60. so now i can have pretty much any fish i want in there. i’m pretty stoked. i’m setting [...]

one paper down. two more to go. i had a nice conversation with tessa today. i convinced her that she needed to be a model for my art book. for those of you know, wouldn’t tessa make a perfect Nagel woman?

graduating from college is letting me down. first i was talking with friends that agree with me in that its sort of anti-climactic. that instead of like graduating from high school, and knowing exactly what you’re going to do, we’re left with this feeling of “what now?” i’m not exactly sure how i’m taking it. [...]

summer and no school is coming up real soon. i need one or two more people to play Final Fantasy Crystal with. so i’ve had a fish tank for about 2 weeks now and i haven’t really talked about it. its 20 gallons, heaxagonal, and tall. its got white gravel and two very pretty plants [...]

geezer its british slang for thug. so i’ve finally gotten rolling on my papers. its slow going, but it seems to be working. i was also contacted by the recruiter at Micro$oft that i sent my resume to. he wanted to know if i was planning on pursuing a graduate degree. i told him i [...]

happy tree friends sick i have no motivation to work.

weather.com sucks. two days ago it said the weather would be sunny and nice and today its cloudy and shitty. i was looking forward to walking to school in nice weather but noooooo. and the best part is that there is a 50% chance of rain. way to cop out you bastards. i should put [...]

Every day and night Every day and night I can see your disco disco dick is sucking my heart out of my mind I’m outta time, I’m outta fuckin time I’m a gasoline gut with a vaseline mind but Wanna disco? Wanna see me disco? Let me hear you depoliticize my rhyme One, two, three, [...]

blargh yeah its been almost a week since i posted, but that shouldn’t suprise you by now. i had a nice weekend staying in the house of a nice lesbian couple. my girlfriend was house-sitting. but now its crunch time. i’ve got three papers to write, one of which is due by next wednesday. i [...]

i almost feel redundant posting this, but i feel its like an obligation. Teen who posted own photo charged with child porn oh the bitter, crushing irony. courtesy of mirae

i’m apart of a cam portal now over at ingenuitous.com check it thats me in the middle of the bottom row. its live whenever i’m around if i remember to turn it on. yay blatant self-promotion that furthers absolutely no cause.

so walking home this morning i discovered that the beat from License and Registration is perfectly match to my walking stride. so the battery in my car is pretty much dead. this is no good, because now instead of walking being something i do to conserve gas and get myself in some kind of shape, [...]

so i have a fishtank that is beginning to be stocked with fish. right now i have five tiger barbs in there. so i have to wait about four weeks until i can put any other fish in there. the first fish you put in your tank are going to have to live through some [...]

for some reason someone was directed to my site from a yahoo search for the phrase, “can you have sex every other day and get pregnant.” it brought up an older post, from about 6 months ago. i used to write long, rambly, kinda personal stuff in my blog back then. and it wasn’t that [...]

weird thing. my blog traffic has been up in the last few weeks. lots of hits from stanford, which i can account for. and a lot of hits from various places between tacoma and seattle. yeah i’m a dork, i can tell where people are visiting from because i can read IP addresses. i feel [...]

today’s words of wisdom come from rocker Ted Nugent: “You can’t grill it till you kill it, and anyone who disagrees can eat shit and die.” Ted Nugent is an oddball. so for my ART101 master copy i’m doing an abstract piece by Carl Holty. its called “Gridiron” and you can see it at the [...]

its starting to get nice. i’m not sure how i feel about this. on the one hand, i like it being cold because there is something comforting about layering clothes the way you do when its cold. but on the other hand, its nice being warm, but not too warm. which is why i like [...]

whee this weekend was so long, and so nice. me and kat went to pt. d on saturday and walked around on the beach. it was really low tide so we walked a long way. we got to this point where bedrock was showing, and there were all these little spongey creatures embedded in the [...]

sleeeeeeepy. sleepy sleepy sleepy. i feel like such an old man having been going to bed so early all the time. but i’ve been sick, and i have class early. bleh. 4 weeks, three papers, avg 10 pages long. ew. its going to be a rough haul, but i think i can manage. [...]

i’ve decided i’m going to get some fish. and not a goldfish or something lame. i want some tetras and a couple angelfish. a friend of mine said he’s got a fairly decent sized tank i could just have because its just collecting dust at his mom’s house. so i’m going to have fish! i [...]
