senssuzy and I are moving ahead with the land purchase. Soon as our real estate agent can find us a surveyor who can get the job done in a timely fashion (the first one he tried was booked), I think we'll go ahead with it. It's a beautiful piece of land: a nice size, very secluded, very fertile, flat, not too damp, nothing wrong with it that we can find ( Read more... )

Our next-door neighbor gave us this little flyer thingy, letting us know there'd be a party going on up the street, with live music, tonight until midnight. We were invited to drop in, but hadn't planned to do so. Though we did briefly meet our neighbors when we moved in, at the housewarming, we haven't often spoken since then.

Time at last to write an entry about zaratyst's birthday party on Sunday! ( It went wonderfully. )

She has requested that people make music for her birthday, whether that's singing, playing an instrument, or whatever it is you can do. I think it'd be cool to ( Read more... )

My favorite band of all time, They Might Be Giants, is gonna help us get rid of Dubya! Check this out:
Hi everybody-Flansburgh(1) here. I had the idea to create a MoveOn.Org benefit album, and through the help of Barsuk in Seattle, it's all coming together. Dave Eggers and Spike Jonze joined in to our steering committee and the lineup is pretty ( Read more... )

Boy, 'twas nice.

Thursday I worked hard on a number of things, so I'd intended to take it easier Friday. I mostly did, but Friday night, I got an itch to work on the web site for senssuzy. I ended up pulling an all-nighter. Why? I can only shrug. Sometimes I just have the urge to not sleep. I never quite make it through the night without dropping ( Read more... )
