i have a disease
this disease causes me to vastly overestimate my physical capacities. i think i am stronger and have far more stamina than turns out to be the case. this disease is made worse by the application of things like red bull, or more pertinently here, 5 hour energy (which i bought a case of at [...]

Bonkers for Birthdays

rain
and i for one am delighted to see it. not least because the brutality of the recent heatwave has been totally conquered. more, it is that i breathe more easily once the sky is washed clean. i bundle under my heavy down comforter. the sound of the traffic rolling by outside my window turns from [...]

the gathering

what i’m doing this weekend is going up to my cousin’s property and camping with my extended family. this, is excellent times. we all really enjoy one another, [...]

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.

this weekend = hells yeah
i must say, spring was singularly uninspiring in the sense of having much going on. so far, summer has been making up for this in spades. awesome things i have going on this weekend:
acquisition of domain name, blog improvement plans, & shoe-admiration with Lyza
birthday celebration for friend Darrin including (but not limited to) brewfest, dinner, [...]

Let Geek Chic Reign!
Need specs for all my various personalities: these are the frames they’re comping me. i like to think of this one as “naughty librarian fabulous”
