On the 3rd, Katherine, her family and I went to Tacoma for a Rainiers game. They lost, 5-4 against the Bees but it was a good game. They lost in the very last inning. They had a really nice fireworks display after the game ( Read more... )

It's been a busy few weeks. Kevin graduated last weekend from the music department. It was a fun celebration afterwards at his house. His family was there, Thomas and my dad came too. We had potatoes, brisket, salad and two different types of cake. Along with other stuff of course but that's what I really really enjoyed. I think it's like 4 weeks ( Read more... )

There is so much beauty in this world. I'm looking out the window, at the flowers on the porch, at the afternoon sun hitting the green tree outside and shining yellow and gold. I am listening to the birds perched on the feeders and feeling Shadow, Katherine's cat, walking behind my head on the edge of the couch. There is music, there is art, there ( Read more... )

Well it's confirmed. I'm moving to the Southpark Blocks of Portland on July 25th!!! I am totally excited. My lease is coming via Fedex--probabley on Tuesday. My lease is finished here in Kirland August 8th so that allows me to breathe easily and take my time in moving. Which would be nice because then I could transfer earlier, etc. I also need to ( Read more... )

Day after Nid's wedding: Oh it was wonderful! It was at a place called Byzantium and it was so fancy and the dinner was great. The dancing was fantastic. Lots of English 80s music! I was thinking "hell yeah!" A lot of guests were like "do they have this song in the states?" and I was always like yeah, but I love 80s so I therefore am different from ( Read more... )

Started off early: 5 am! I walked to the Thames River from their flat. tried to look for a breakfast place, but no where was open, so I took a few pictures and headed back. Then I caught the tube to Tower of London. It was wicked. I did a tour with the Yeoman Guard and the guide was fascinating. They actually have living quarters in the Tower. And ( Read more... )

I navigated the underground just fine. Dougie and Fumi, Nadine's friends, live in East Putney in southwest London. It was a relatively short trip from the airport (30-40 min). It is difficult seeing how expensive everything is. I mean, of course it looks expensive because I am paying twice as much, you know? But I am trying to not get hampered down ( Read more... )

I have that monty python song stuck in my head... "isn't it awfully nice to have a penis? Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?..." Makes it quirky as I am watching a Criminal Minds episode about a Jacklyn the Ripper. I hung out with my friend Rachael today. We did sushi off a conveyor belt. She is a fun person to talk to. Lots of talk ( Read more... )

Quickie update prior to BUX. Got a 4.45 hour day today, not to be confused with a five hour day... haha. I finally got over my migraine today so I am feeling a lot better. The fridge has milk and eggs from April 9-- I feel like I am the one in the bachelor pad! I am watching Blade 2, what a terrible movie but I like wesley snipes as all out dracula ( Read more... )
