Or. My MLK Day.

I didn't have MLK day off which my body seriously fought for most of the day as we drove in a university bus to the capitol in Olympia.

It felt that it should be in my fluffy robe eating the fruits of my most recent Trader Joe's encounter, but I digress...

On the way there and at the capitol, I kept half humming/singing that old Hole ( Read more... )

"Bounded rationality, however, is visited upon the elites as well. Their position is always insecure, for their information, understanding, and goals are never fully rational.

Yesterday I looked up from my reading only to see a barista take a blowtorch to a porcelain cup and saucer. Well actually it was a tasty beverage. While it had no official name, it consisted of apple juice, caramel and steamed milk that was then sprinkled with cinnamon and then blow-torched until marshmallow-like consistency.

Merry Christmas people! Today we celebrated by watching old videos and drinking mojitos. I awoke to the feeling of my sister putting her finger up my nose.

Going to bed now. Stay warm my northern buddies! Will post on the last few weeks later. They were a doozy.

so being back in austin is pretty much the same, minus a few changes. I felt a little weird leaving my life in seattle for a full month but I realized that I should probably miss a month of winter while I can. Yet when I pull into the austin airport last tuesday, I realized that it was snowing. Granted it was Austin snowing which means that you ( Read more... )

So I ate pho here for the first time about 2 weeks ago. Since then I've had it about three and soon to be about the forth time ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning in a strange place with the feeling that my face was mildly swollen. Oh wait, I'm in Sunnyside, WA. fuck. My coworker likes it sauna hot which I found to be unbearable for most of the night which could possibly account for the fact that one of my eyes looked vaguely disfigured ( Read more... )
