Slurping
April 18, 2007

I recently cited slurping noodles as a sound I hate, and Abby commented asking me how I handled China with such a dislike. The truth is that particular answer came to mind because I had read this old SST journal the night before. Enjoy.

Giving credit where credit’s due
March 15, 2007

Abby recently posted about our weekend trip down to the south side for their St. paddy’s day parade and included some of the pictures I shot with the camera I might buy off of her. Which reminded me that I still haven’t credited her for not only helping me create my banner, but for [...]

I’m flying miles above the earth right now…
February 25, 2007

There’s a slight tinge of color on the horizon behind us and to the right. It’s quite beautiful. Orange than yellow and graduating shades of green and blue end in an inky black as the atmosphere fades into space. Below on the dark ground towns web out into the country marked only [...]

Relaxing weekend… ok, I was a little bored sometimes, but I kind of liked it.

Living at night
July 18, 2005

Today my mom asked me why I live my life at night and then sleep during the day. It’s something I’ve struggled with since middle school. I’m a night owl, no question there, but I do tend to enjoy life better when I’m going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. I wonder why that [...]

Watching the green
November 3, 2004

Music: Ada plays from Cold Mountain
It can be very inspiring to watch my plants grow. Ever so slowly, but I see progress and discover new shoots everyday And they’re not dying which is amazing with the fact that I really have no green thumb what so ever, I think it might even be slightly [...]
