Spending Christmas Eve and Christmas sick is not my idea of fun. :-(

I just went and saw Brokeback Mountain for the second time today with Todd and Dave. I saw it the first time at a pre-screening on Queen Anne. This has got to be one of the most moving movies I have ever seen. By the end I am beyond fighting back tears to full on crying. This movie is highly recommended to everyone to go see and I think the ( Read more... )

I realize I haven't updated in a while, but I'm not too sure how many people actually read this thing anyways. I recently threw a party on Veteran's Day titled the "Don't Ask, Don' Tell Party" which was quite the success. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and Todd's special little addition seemed to add a certain extra tackiness to the ( Read more... )

I have been thinking a lot lately about what the next step entails as far as career and personal development. The more I think about this, the more I'm beginning to think that it might not be in Seattle.

This has been one of those weeks from hell where everyone seems to be coming out of the woodwork to throw my day off. Hopefully before too long I'll be able to make some sort of ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I'm just stupid

One of the things I have decided for the summer is to do things, which I haven't done much of lately, but enjoy immensely or things I've done before. Yesterday I accomplished one of those feats in going to the Mariner game with my roommate bibliotodda along with Steve and Bryce. We had a great time, we went to a straight sports bar called Sluggers near the ( Read more... )

Sometimes I wonder what goes on in the minds of those who choose to take things out in violence. You aren't accomplishing any kind of political or cultural goal through these actions. Yeah, you're letting the world know that you're angry, but you aren't getting anywhere with the actions that you choose. On the other hand I think our gut reactions ( Read more... )
