Things that might be decidedly odd....
Well, I’ve been packing for the move tomorrow. I’m nowhere near done, but I’ve got some boxes ready to go and more will be finished before I sleep. Digging through an old dilapidated box, I found a bunch of old pictures, a few of which I’ve scanned here. I guess I can’t [...]
While sick on my deathbed over the weekend, I watched one of my Netflix movies (which I do far too rarely nowdays)–Velvet Goldmine. Somehow, I never saw this movie when it came out in 1998, but I enjoyed it quite a lot in a campy, flashy Hedwig slash surreal Fear and Loathing but more [...]
I’ve only been on this diet now for a few hours, but I’m already starting to wonder if it’s possible to make such perhaps disgusting things as a meatless aspic involving chicken broth and unflavored gelatine.
I took this picture just now after getting back from QFC for the second time (first time was earlier this [...]
This morning I awoke fairly excited that I’d be able to actually try to see a doctor today after suffering with a fever all weekend and odd stomach problems amplified by the fever sickness for nearly 3 weeks. Unfortunately, the first call I made to my doctor’s office was nearly an hour and a [...]

One of my earliest memories is being in Kindergarten and having my mother and my teacher making [...]
Last night, I went out to Neighbours on Rock Lobster with Ken since it was his big 40th birthday. I figured the best way to celebrate the official death of his gay youth was to surround him by more of it I hadn’t been there in quite a while, so it [...]
I was hoping to go swimming in the lake this afternoon, but next thing I knew I’d fallen asleep on my couch. When I woke up, it was too late to make it to where I would be meeting people It’s too bad too, because it’s absolutely beautiful outside right now! [...]
