One of the books I am reading right now is "A Plain Life: Walking My Belief" by Scott Savage which I first read near the beginning of my emancipation from school -- after that, back then, it was the spark of my Luddite interests -- I think such may be the case again, which feels to be a good return.

I'm changing cellular providers from a $35/month, 700 minute plan that I never approach maximum usage on to a 90 or 180-day, 5 cent/minute pay-as-you-go [1].
One of my first thoughts on doing this? "Oh, I remember Aria posted something on NBTSC Wiki about choosing your phone and then getting service for it, not being confined to getting service and ( Read more... ) -
Frosting under a Streetlight

Consequently, this resulted in a good hour of Wikipedia browsing about succubi, Lillith, Adam & Eve Genesis stories, the archangel Sammael.

Spending money like mad. It seems to be a pattern that I will save up a bankroll of ~10k and then decide to go traveling and buy a pickup truck and hundreds of dollars of tools (like in 2006) or like now, spending $600 on a digital camera (goodbye Nikon N90 SLR!) and bicycling clothes and new road wheels and tires and panniers and...oh goodness.

I am resigning my job at Pedal People, selling most of my things (except the shiny and useful objects), and moving out of Bates St on June 30th.
Yippppeeee!
Oh, and then going to start a cross-country cycling tour next weekend, ending at the Pacific Ocean somewhere.
