my home-made hot air balloon
i had weird dreams last night.
i was on my way to a film festival with some friends, and was going to meet them at their place across town, but rather than getting in my car to drive, i decided instead that i would take my home-made hot air balloon! this contraption consisted of an [...]

Bragging Rights: or, How My Close Personal Friend Helped Create Something Awesome and I Got to Watch
my friend Lyza is the opposite of a dilettante: by which i mean that though she has a dizzying variety of intriguing hobbies and interests, she doesn’t dabble. instead she immerses herself in research and practical application. i am consistently impressed by her ability to master whatever she sets her hand to, and i am [...]

Mini-Break Weekend Getaway
went to Sunriver with some peeps over the weekend. was able to do this primarily because i work for some folks who own a couple of vacation rentals there and as an employee they offer us the use of one of them for a ridonkulously low rate. so, semi-free vay-kay? i say yes way!

silly things that touched me
and i am not talking about my karaoke partners from last night…
no, rather that this seemed to be a week steeped in a particular type of sentiment: a transient, elusive, and utterly singular sort that only makes sense to me, i’m sure.
i like to pretend to be tough and/or cool, but really i am all [...]

weekend wrapup
it was a wild one, no doubt.
hodie-related drama friday night cut short plans for evening. made it out for shoe admiration and drinks with Lyza but no karaoke. sad.
on the whole, it might have been for the best, since i woke up in the wee hours for my race. it went really well, though it [...]

this weekend = hells yeah

acquisition of domain name, blog improvement plans, & shoe-admiration with Lyza
birthday celebration for friend Darrin including (but not limited to) brewfest, dinner, [...]

the rain before it falls
By Jonathan Coe
this book is one of the loveliest i have come across in a good long while. i mean this not only in the sense that it contains a moving sweet and poignant story, but in the physical manifestation of of its book-ness. i went on about this at length last week when i [...]

bye bye leslie pie
my good friend leslie, her husband mikael, and their impending offspring are moving far away to the mitten state (ie Michigan) very soon indeed. it came about in a bit of a whirlwind, and i think i’m still adjusting to the idea that they’re really leaving. there are many things about this that make me [...]
