So, was talking to a friend today and remembered that sometime in 2000 I saw a clever animation called "they're made out of meat ( Read more... )

traveling... something I've always envisioned as a priority in my life. Up to this point, I've been to Belgium while my dad had his hip resurfaced, and New Zealand for an amazing month spent between North and South Islands.

Hmmmm. Somehow I don't see that happening now. The fire dancing and art community in Seattle ( Read more... )

It's gonna be time to move out of my house soon to make room for Kate, the girl I've been subletting from for almost 2 years. She'll be stateside from New Zealand in about 2 weeks. She'll be in Cali to visit family for a bit then I'll have to move my stuff, and change my address and, in the process, get one of those new-fangled driver's licenses ( Read more... )
