Gun Violence on the Hill

Since I moved here, there have now been (I believe) three shootings in my neighorhood. None of them have been your typical shootings though. The first one was a bizarre murder suicide back in March over on Republican & 21st. Then there was a mentally ill man who was shot dead by [...]

iChat

I just got done with a video chat with Jeff T using iChat AV. We had some trouble getting the audio to work at first which may have had something to do with his playing songs on iTunes at the time. However, on the second try everything started working. We were both [...]

Camp and More Travel

Well, it looks like I will be going to CAMP this year after all. I paid my money, but I still need to pick up a couple of items before I leave on Friday. On one hand, I really need a weekend where I’m not traveling all over creation and being busy, busy, [...]

Telemarketers

So I’ve been getting a call every couple days from 727-569-1515 usually in the late morning for the past 1-2 months. Sometimes it only rings once or twice, so I’ve missed who’s calling. Other times I think I’ve answered and gotten a recording. Today I answered on the first ring and there [...]

Mt. Rainier

On Friday night, I went to party at some guys’ place that Larry knew. It was a fun party where I tried a tasty drink I’d never had before (pomegranite juice + vodka + soda water). I left fairly early since I had to get up at 5:30am the next day to prepare [...]

Past Couple Days

The beginning of the week is always slow for me I guess. Thursday through Saturday is usually busy with social events and then on Sunday there’s always hiking if I’m not out of town. The rest of the week I feel like I’m just recovering. At work, I got my login changed [...]

Rest of the Weekend

After hitting the beach, Drew and I carpooled over to a “Brokeback Yard” cowboy themed party in West Seattle. It was a fun time with several people I knew and some new ones I hadn’t met before. Afterwards, we carpooled back into town to meet up with the rest of the gang at [...]

Friday Night, Saturday Morning

Last night I went to see Quinceañera at the Egyptian with some people from work. The movie was cute, although not exactly groundbreaking. Still, I liked it, especially the concept of finding acceptance in a family within a family. Plus, Jesse Garcia’s character was pretty hot. Anyhow, afterwards nobody really wanted [...]

Shoe Shopping

Man, I hate shopping for shoes. I think I hate it more than shopping for furniture, although it’s hard hard to say.
First, I drove over to Road Runner Sports (a running store) near Green Lake to buy some new running shoes. After waiting around and seeing no salespeople in sight, I asked the [...]

Out on a Wednesday Night

Normally, I don’t go out on Wednesdays. I guess it’s just too early in the week and not my habit. After the Outventures potluck yesterday, a few of us decided to grab a drink at Purr since it was still fairly early. Next thing I knew we were hitting Manray and R [...]
