So I'm blowing down a hill (yes that hill the one I keep waxing lyrical about near my house.) in the driving rain, one of the last fall storms, and in my mind keeps playing the Marche Slav, the Tchaikovsky piece which I'm learning (not it really but a student version) and that's just a picture of my life today ( Read more... )

LAst night was pretty rad--Mikey's wine and cheese night. It was another of those where everyone got wasted and Micheal B crashed with us, which to me is the natural thing everybody would do, but is such pulling teeth here, everybody wants to go home and fears to impose. I talked to Jon D like he was a real person, and everybody got into the scene ( Read more... )

So a bunch of stuff has happened since my last post, which I should probably mention. Mikey had his birthday, he turned 35. We went out to the super trendy Bavarian beer cafe on eagle street pier overlooking the brisbane river.

This contains both large and small things I want but don't have. If anyone needs presents for me, you can work from this list. Please check with my mom if you do, so there is a coordinated effort to not duplicate. Also, plz if you are my family who has already sent stuff, do not rush out and try to get this stuff too. This is just a list for people ( Read more... )

Link now works to my photo site--have changed privacy settings to public. So yesterday was fun. Had a hike up through some mountains and a swim in Tony's pool and watched an awesome football game, Packers vs Falcons. We didn't watch the last quarter because it was a walkover but man there were some rad plays. Jeremy's at a 2 day chess tourney this ( Read more... )
