At least they don't bite...
There are clams in my fridge. They are alive. A moment ago I went in search of something to quell my hunger and startled at the sight of their white siphons waving in their salt water filled bowl. I do not like it when I open my fridge door and my food is moving.
The clams are the result of yesterday's excursion to a new friend's family beach ( Read more... ) -

People are friendly and it rains all the time
A mass of bushy dreads sprouted from his head, he wore a tie-dyed skirt, everything about him said "rasta." He was seated at a sidewalk table outside Caffe Vita, and as we walked past he said "heyyy..." I tried not to look and waited for him to ask for a dollar or a lighter, but he repeated "heyyy you dropped something." When I glanced backward he ( Read more... ) -
cell phone for giveaway
Does anyone in Spokane want my old cellphone, and cell phone plan? I'm still within my contract until May 2009 and will be charged a fee if I simply cancel it. The monthly payment is $57.90 and the company is Verizon. -
All the rules are gone
I survived the weekend and by the end it really was kinda fun. Saturday and Sunday, K and I went out for beer after class. Turns out the Fishtale Brewbup is a pretty awesome place to go. We went for a brief bike ride today as well. It seems that most streets here are either uphill or downhill ( Read more... ) -
the life of a grad student
I was stuffing my groceries into my car this evening, when a car drove past with a familiar face and a wave. It was an Americorps friend who is an undergraduate here and he and his friend were at the grocery store to buy beer before heading off to party in the woods with a painter. While I assume that is a fairly typical Evergreen experience and ( Read more... ) -
Sink or Swim (or Who the heck is Keynes?!)
Up to this point, when new challenges presented themselves, I've simply dived in headfirst and flailed around until I learned to swim. This worked for me when I hopped on a plane to Europe by myself, when I became the coordinator of a free tax program with no training or direction, when I moved to Spokane on my own. But this time, I dove in and ( Read more... ) -

New home, new life
I have been here two days now and thus far life is good. There are moments of self doubt and I cried on Saturday as I pulled out of my aunt and uncle's driveway and the whole family, aunt, uncle, two cousins and the little one all stood waving farewell, just as I stood waving in my grandmother's driveway so many summers as they drove away from me, ( Read more... )
