Tonight was busy and productive. I stayed after work to cut some drawer parts. Got half way through that, then left to pick up The Egyptian to go climbing. I haven't climbed with her in a couple weeks, which seems like ages! Anyway, that went great, we climbed some pretty hard stuff and had fun... lots of visiting ( Read more... )

Kinky was fun last night. There were several Warehouse/Schlachthof regulars in attendance ( Read more... )

Last summer, while driving to Nellie's, I came upon what appeared to be a very recent accident scene at a crosswalk on 14th. There was the requisite police tape, ambulance, cop cars, photographers, etc. I gathered that a pedestrian had been hit while crossing the street. Upsetting for all involved, but not particularly odd ( Read more... )

The x-mas weirdness diminishes as it recedes, red-shifting as distance and speed increases. Why is there a tree in my living room ( Read more... )

Staff parties are weird... at least for me they are. I seem unsure how to act, how to fit in with the temporarily different socio-environment.

(wah ( Read more... )

3:30 am... just returned from fun at the usual club. fun night. nice people. One weird moment was going out for some fresh air with friends, only to notice two police cars and a van parked by the back door. needless to say after some humming and hawing we curtailed our activities, and returned inside to hide. Tried again later, with success ( Read more... )

bah. Drove way down south to pick up the new dishwasher and stove. The distribution warehouse was enormous, like something out a movie!! Appliances were stacked 25-30 feet in the air, as far as you could see.. rows and rows. Like some sort of galactic waystation for kitchen appliances. I inquired about collapses, and apparently they have something ( Read more... )

So I finally got around to setting up a live journal. I set it up a couple days ago under my real name, but decided to redo it with something slightly anonymous... a modified anagram. An 'ennead' is a group of nine. As in nine lives, nine levels, nine hours, nine muses. It just seems right ( Read more... )
