I was inspired by the Dice Tower podcast who did their top 10 list of things/events at Origins. I will also do a top 10 list of games I played ( Read more... )

I had a whirlwind of traveling taking place the past week. I finished teaching last week and picked my dad up from the airport the same day I collected portfolios. We spent several days cleaning, do yard work, painting, and fixing things around the house for the new tenant. After she moved in on Monday morning, we drove back to Philly, arriving at ( Read more... )

I just found out from Ben that he will play some Kate Bush tonight on Transatlantica in honor of her 50th birthday. (8pm on WEFT) I decided that was a great idea and have been playing some Kate Bush myself for the last 45 minutes. I first learned of Kate Bush around 92, when I was around 13. My friends and I would listen to Wuthering Heights in one ( Read more... )

So I finished knitting another pair of socks yesterday. I am still pretty slow at this; it took me almost two months to finish them. They were supposed to be for my mom, but apparently I knit very tightly (according to a knitting friend of mine that looked at them this weekend) and they turned out a little small. So I'm going to give them to my ( Read more... )

For some reason, I didn't read livejournal at all last week. I didn't post, but I didn't even read it, it just didn't occur to me. Sorry if I missed anything important going on ( Read more... )

I had a lovely bonnaroo this year. I decide to do bonnaroo up Hannah-style this year, which means I did what I wanted to do, and enjoyed the company when others did what I wanted to do with me ( Read more... )

A fun couple of days--Thursday we went to Pioneer Square and went on an Underground Tour of Seattle. It was super interesting and a little freaky; I never realized how much weird stuff people would just dump in the walls: earthquake rubble, dead animal carcasses, etc. I also never realized how you make a city out of a bunch of cliffs and small ( Read more... )

So, I spent the day when I wasn't sure what to do (monday) not doing much of anything. Plans from all friends fell through, and I decided I didn't want to go it alone, though I should have because I'm sad I missed out on some stuff now. What I did do is play a lot of the old Legend of Zelda on the Wii. And I did a bit of knitting; I've made some ( Read more... )

it's a little lonely in seattle tonight; my friends are either writing their conference papers or already partying too hard for me, so tonight i just stopped at trader's joes on my way home, got some food, took a long walk, and now i am watching movies with morgan ( Read more... )

So I'm in Seattle, yay! I haven't done much yet, except get picked up at the airport, eat thai food, and sleep. The thai food was good but was lacking in veggies. It inspired me, however, to make curry with thai basil. It never occurred to me before yesterday, but since I have a lovely thai basil plant growing in a pot on the back porch, I feel ( Read more... )
