Mmm. I just went out for about half an hour to read in the pool on the fun floaty thing with a mesh bottom so you're partially submerged but fully supported. It was very very relaxing, and I feel like I'm putting my carless-captive-at-home/waning-days-of-summer time to good use.

But now, an hour and a half later, he ( Read more... )

Inspired by a random email, I updated some of my interests today since I don't think I had changed them much in over a year. Perhaps I will update them more later.

OK Seattleites, I'm officially going to said city July 31st through August 4th and I'm going to try to go see Lohengrin on August 3rd. I'm going to be staying with my aunt and uncle in Bellevue, but I'm thinking about staying in a hotel in town for one night. Maybe. Thoughts? The 2nd would be a really good night to do something, since my uncle ( Read more... )
