Tonight on a drive home from Manzanita, OR I listened to a conversation about conversation. The guest said that sometimes it's okay to be mischievous in a conversation in order to provoke a deeper connection. "You're giving permission," suggested the host. "Yes," said the guest.

In this way I am like a cat.
So I eat a ton of the following thing:
Soy yogurt, sun butter, bananas, and berries in a bowl. I often eat two bowls of this shit a day and have been doing so for several months. It's really good, but how weird is it that this concoction makes up 50% of my caloric intake. -

Just watched Avatar in a theater in a huge mall in Calackamas, OR just outside of Portland. The mall is called Calackamas Town Center, and for as far as I could tell it was the center of the town, although that may have just been because I don't know Calackamas very well.

Now that I'm planning on buying a car (an old Corvair van to be specific), it strikes me as a little absurd that I've existed for 3 years riding my bike around this town and living without a car. Biking to school and work in the rain. Biking home drunk from bars at 3 in the morning. Buying a new bike when my bike is stolen. Getting tune ups on ( Read more... ) -
