On the work front:  approximately 1/3 of the way through inventory week, things going as smoothly as can be expected ( Read more... )

In some ways I'm finding it a little bit hard to adjust to normal life again after being on tour.  I've definitely been taking the opportunity to sleep again, but I still feel somewhat groggy at times (though yesterday this may have been due to drinking cocktails in the middle of the day, then lying out in the hot sun).  My first day back at work ( Read more... )

When it's hot out and I get home from work all sweaty and gross, I like to put my feet in the bath tub and run cold water on them.  Aaaaaaaah ( Read more... )

Today as Morgan and I were riding home from Ballard -- we finally used up a gift certificate for King's Hardware that had been kicking around for a while -- we saw this little red sports car speed by and pass some other car in that silly show-offy way people do in those penis cars.  Then about a hundred yards down the road, what should we see on ( Read more... )

The prez should hold funny-looking babies every day, if only to entertain the public.  Also, I can't help thinking how awesome it will be for this person (as in the baby) to see this picture as an adult.

The weather report list other days this week as "mostly sunny and pleasant" but today as "partly cloudy" and Friday as "mostly sunny."  I guess we've got a couple of days this week that just aren't pleasant ( Read more... )

I feel as if I am fast running out of time to get everything I need to do done before I leave for NY, probably because I am.  It did not help that I agreed to feed my parents' cats and water their plants this weekend, a task that ended up costing me a minimum of three hours every day.  In the last week I have realized that I have fallen way behind ( Read more... )

Yesterday when I arrived at work, the building smelled a little bit toxic, and when I entered the third floor, the smell nearly knocked me over.  It turned out they were applying spray primer to the railings in the marking room (down the hall from the stockroom).  After a while the grossness dissipated, but then in the afternoon it was replaced by ( Read more... )

I was just realizing yesterday that the last three calls to my phone were all from the same persistent-but-clueless guy who somehow thinks that my number belongs to someone named Peter.  I know this because the first time he called, he left a message.  Anyway, I hope he's finally figured it out, since the last time he called was at 8:45 (I know, ( Read more... )
