I don't really use or maintain this blog anymore, but every once in a while I feel guilty and decide I owe it some attention ( Read more... )

“We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it” -Tennessee Williams ( Read more... )

I woke up an hour ago and went, as I usually do, straight to my computer to check my e-mail. Looking past my screen to the window sill were two finches and a chickadee, hopping around looking for food. I moved and they looked up at me, as if to say, "why is the feeder empty?

Emily and Becca were out here in Seattle for a few days, it was wonderful. A bit weird because eventually you run out of things to say when you hang out 24-7, but we sort of wanted to milk it for all it was worth. Unfortunately the weather was crappy, I had all these fun sunny day activities planned, and that didn't work out. Oh well. I'll see them ( Read more... )
