I accepted a job with Greenpeace, standing on street corners, talking to folks about environmental degradation, soliciting membership and money, and I'll have to make $150 a week or else it's back on the streets, but all in all I'm feeling positive about it because standing on street corners talking to folks about environmental degradation is way ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been in bed for two months now, just sitting back with my door closed and my computer on my lap, soft white light coming through the windows against my bare walls. There's so much stillness in an empty room and I love that I'm here ( Read more... )

There's supposed to be between one and two feet of snow on the ground tomorrow when I wake up.

I watched five or six hours of "The West Wing" today. Which was a fine way, I guess, but I'm anxious about Rob Lowe leaving the show. (Sam's obviously my favorite character, because come on.) Bartlett was just elected to his second term. It's all downhill ( Read more... )

The mountains belched a little bit of snow on us yesterday. We maxed out at 25-ish°. Hans Mike and I went to the British Bulldog at one o'clock for a full ten hours of World Cup qualifiers. No one really gave a damn about Greece and Latvia, but the Portugal v. Hungary game was great soccer, and the Denmark v. Sweden match was a full 90 minutes of ( Read more... )

Talked to Lauren today.
Hans and I went for a good long walk around the neighborhood and into Cherry Creek and we looked for Chase bank because he needed to check something on his account. It's across the street from the Urban Outfitters at the Cherry Creek shopping center, which is also across the street from Crate&Barrel and there's a Design ( Read more... )

Unless I quack early and run away to Denver, I will be living in a 12ft x 9ft cabin in Grand Lake, CO (year-round population: 469; elevation: 8369ft;) from now until early-October.

Of note:

• I can hear the wind coming miles before it gets here.
• The only scent is pine.
• I had never experienced a thunder and lightning snowstorm until yesterday, 7 June ( Read more... )

Today was our first real life snow fall. I woke up, looked out the window, and there it was. Tons of snow. It was beautiful ( Read more... )

We had a snow day today, which was a mixed blessing. It was nice that I was able to sleep until noon on a Tuesday, but it means that I have to go to classes on Thursday so I can turn in papers that I would have turned in today, and so I can take a test in SOC 151 that I would have also taken today. That means that if I go to Philadelphia (I'm not ( Read more... )

I'm having the kind of day that I needed to have yesterday, and by having it today, I'm having it at the expense of the classes that yesterday could have prepared me for. I didn't do a fucking thing yesterday--not even my laundry. Well, now my laundry's in the wash, and I'll be ok with my reading, but I'm still behind, because I found out I spent ( Read more... )
