I Haven't Used This in a While
It's been a long time since I've used LiveJournal. I don't really feel like getting rid of my account or hiding all of this stuff. It's interesting to see how things have changed since I began blogging here over ten years ago. My profile says that my account was created in September of 2004. I didn't even have a moustache in 2004. In fact, none of ( Read more... ) -
Tweed and Gardens
This past weekend seemed like a good one to be lazy, so I spent large parts of it not even leaving the apartment. Since moving to Portland, I've been keeping myself very busy, and I could tell I was a bit more tired than usual because I've sleeping in ( Read more... ) -
Portland Just Got Smaller
Yesterday, I went for my first bike ride in the city. I still have the same bike I've had for a few years: a beautiful black Schwinn beach cruiser. It is not a fast bike. It has only one gear and weighs quite a bit. It's built to move slowly and is terrible to pedal up hills ( Read more... ) -
Busy Week Ends Later
Spring Break! These two words are wonderfully welcome to so many.

Return, Updates, and Life part n+1
It's been more than a year since I've had an update here, and far more since I've been a regular LJ user at all. But lately I have been wishing for a place to discuss what's been going on in life, and frankly have been perhaps a little jealous of Vera's new Wordpress blog. See, it's ( Read more... ) -

Preserved Foods and Black Saturday Reminder
Hello everybody! It's been a very long time since I've written here, I know, but I wanted to brag about a couple of food projects that chardan and I have been working on. We just finished making a batch of sauerkraut, and now we've got a corned beef a-cornin' in the fridge. I anticipate a great deal of deliciousness.
In other news, remember that Black ( Read more... )
