The Influence of Music
A friend introduced me to the latest album by Lily Allen, an artist that I hadn't heard of until half an hour earlier. In the last 23 hours, I've probably listened to the whole thing more than 5 times, and love nearly every song on it. Several of them are directly responsible for my wonderful mood today.
That's all I've got to say, today. -
Coffee Zombie
I woke up this morning to my morning alarms sounding, and promptly turned them off to go back to sleep. Some time later I rolled over, glanced at the clock and realized in a sleep-fogged way that I needed to be out the door in 20 minutes. I got up, showered, dressed and ate, managing to stumble out of the house in just over 22 minutes, and caught a ( Read more... ) -
Blimps over Justice
Waiting for a cab at the San Francisco Hall of Justice. There were plenty when I got here; where did all the cabs go?
I thinkbi much prefer the Superior Court to this one - this place is crawling with sherrifs, police and bail bondsmen.

That's appropriate.
Lovely, now my computer's dying. I've been talkin about replacing it for a couple weeks now, but that was more of a flight of fancy than an immediate plan of action.

Now we're cooking with gas- or ethanol!
Everclear is my new favorite booze. Not for the reasons you'd think, though. I've gotten three bottles in the last few weeks, and all for cooking. Two went to lemon peel extract for limoncello, and another has vanilla beans soaking in it. It's stupidly fun, and I don't know exactly why. I suppose I feel a bit like an alchemist, surrounded by ( Read more... ) -
The Merits of Sleep
I went to bed around 3:30 last night, adjusting for the time change. I fell asleep tired, unlike most evenings when, at midnight, I feel more like staying up for another hour or two. I slept solidly, and only remember waking up once or twice. I woke up feeling rested - uncommon as that is - and am in a fantastic mood today. I have been attentive, ( Read more... ) -
It was a damn cold night.
I woke up this morning with the song "I'm With You" by Avril Lavigne playing in my mind. A couple days ago, I played it for the first time in what must be years on a roulette spin of all my music. I know that sleep involves processing and storing memories of the previous day, but shouldn't those memories be from more recently than the middle of ( Read more... ) -
Scents of time
Tonight I'm sleeping with the window at the head of my bed cracked open. I can smell the storm coming on the wind and somehow, it smells like home.

Lessons learned by rote, or rotary.
I've just spent over an hour crouched over my de-shelled rotary phone, poking it with a volt meter and mapping out the circuits in my notebook. It's been sitting on my floor since Christmas, slowly fading into the taken-for-granted background; it's the project I've been too unmotivated to work on. After playing Braid and working with logic puzzles ( Read more... )
