Up All Night
Miss Bit is convinced that as soon as she goes to bed, the magic happens. Magically at 8:45 after we have tucked her into bed, the dancing clowns come out, Patrick and I dish ourselves big bowls of chocolate fudge mint chip ice cream, and have a dance party until dawn. All without her. I [...]

Consumption
When I’m hot and heavy in a study period for school I find that I like mindless TV on when I work. Well maybe not mindless, but TV that I’ve seen before and that watching it won’t take too much of my attention. I can just look up occasionally and enjoy what is going on [...]
Rocking the polls
I worked as a polling book judge today for King County Elections. Because of my help 34 people were able to place their votes. The funny thing? I don’t vote. No Seriously, I don’t vote. Even in an election year as important as this I won’t cast a ballot. I am registered to vote and [...]
Do I know you?
I was meeting someone new for my trip to Bainbridge today. I’ve seen pictures of her online, and she’s seen pictures of me, but I was anxious that I might miss her. So when i saw someone who looked like she was waiting for someone, and looked like “my type” I double checked even though [...]
Another Quarter Done
Summer 2008 is now done officially. I’ve turned all of my work in and now just wait for the grades. I’m apprehensive about Econ, but am fairly comfortable with my fate for History and Creative Writing. I start at the University of Washington in the fall, a little over 1 month away. To that end, [...]
Smallness of the world.
I found an old friend yesterday. At least I think I did. Every time I see a pirate movie, I think of him. You see he was into pirates before pirates were big. He was involved in roleplay online with me in the late 90′s. As usual, I googled around a bit, and this time [...]
Camping
I grew up camping. Car camping. Well, not even car camping, more like trailer camping where the trailer doesnt go anywhere and you go to visit it. (We never did anything like my friend Pixysticks just did where she hiked parts of the Pacific Crest Trail. ) Anyway, I’ve got very fond memories of “camping” [...]
Neighborhood Night Out
Our street closed last night and gave us a chance to mingle with our neighbors over food and drink. It was a nice chance to get to know the folks in the area, and meet some of the local dogs. (That was a real treat for me!) The kids ran wild enjoying the luxury of [...]
Sunday night homework: Poetry
We had to use a very very specific format this week and I swear this was the equivalent of a DUI test where you balance on one foot hopping, touching your nose and singing the star spangled banner. Brown Battered Suitcase, Rolling Behind Brown battered suitcase, rolling behind. Bulging full of memoriesThe train always arrives [...]
