If you've got time to kill, you've got time to use. Use it like a bitch that needs a good hard usin'.

anybody know why my background color and text color settings spontaneously defaulted?

Took a little motorcycle ride out to Georgetown last night. Airport way is all nice new paved and awesome. Three years of me griping about the terrible condition of a major thoroughfare paid off. They finally fixed it. A year after I no longer have to use it on a daily basis! Bwahahahaha!

Last night, as I was preparing my dinner, I was startled by a flashlight shining into my kitchen window. It was the police. Seems that ol' Nervous Nelson the condo dwelling super-genius who can see into my back yard had phoned 911 to report an untended bonfire and tiki torches.

Going to Portland tonight. This will be my first weekend out of town in three years. Since 2004, I have had only five breaks from work that amounted to little more than a long weekend. I hope this trip is more fun than the previous five, which were harried and/or uncomfortable in one way or another.

The imminence did not fully sink in with me until I realised that my next rent payment will be the last. I will miss having such a great work space. I will not miss what has amounted to a 50 percent wage garnishment for the ( Read more... )

Seems like I'll be moving again for the third time in under a year. With the income going down and the bills going up, it will not be feasible to sign another year lease for my workshop in Pioneer Square. This gives me conflicted feelings. I've really made that space into the "TOTALLY AWESOME" and it has even more amazing potential than I've ( Read more... )
