Did I never post these pictures? Oops. I uploaded them to photobucket a week ago but apparently never remembered to come over here and post the links.

Oh well. Here they are:

Last night I had a dream that I was eating Gayle's stomach. I had been with her earlier and had seen her eat breakfast. A man told me that the front of the stomach was the best part and, as he peeled it open, I saw the rinds of the grapefruit I'd watched her eat for breakfast ( Read more... )

Hello. I am at work and I am bored. I shelved all the new product yesterday, and today I've already cleaned out a bunch of the old samples and restocked and ordered the teas. I was an idiot and took some old supplement samples which resulted in my having a horrible dizzy spell. I now have no clue what to do, so I'm updating my journal ( Read more... )

Today I took Gayle to Bobby Moser's funeral. It was exhausting. I felt like such a voyeur, sitting there watching his sons struggle through their speeches.

Well, since both pghwob and lilostitch have expressed their concern that I haven't been updating my LJ much lately, I thought I'd sit down and write something for a change ( Read more... )

Yet another installment of pictures from me. This set features my family (in part inspired by pghwob asking why I'd posted a picture of my Dad but never any of my Mom), a bunch of pictures of my friend Laura's band, and still more pictures of people from work.

Today has been one odd little trip down memory lane after another.

First, I had lunch at Quiet Storm with pghwob. I had brought along some old stuff to show him (because, as I explained, I greatly enjoy Show and Tell). He and I have talked a fair bit about my fledgling activist experiences with Youth Cry* (the student-run activist organization that ( Read more... )
