I just got back from kayaking with Alyssa at Lily Lake. It was the perfect day to go. We went in the morning, around 9:30, so it was still cool. We took the back country roads on the way out there, so the scenery was all green farms and silos. Toolin along in her dad's truck with 2 kayaks hanging out the back, smelling of sunblock and ( Read more... )

Nothing extraordinary toNight. Rode my bike home from work around 10:15, fed my eager kittehs, ate my delicious sammich, talked to my pregnant seester while doing the dishes & listening to a complaining Apollo. Took the kittehs for a stroll while checking my many messages, talked to an excited, newly-engaged mother en route to helping her pregnant ( Read more... )

Retarded laundry machine. Letter to mom, Ben, Tiff, Kara. Bills. Conversations with 4/5 siblings. Reading the letter to myself from 2004 for the first time since I wrote it. 5 pages of eloquence and relevance. Flood. Filing. Boon! Smashing pumpkins to sleep...

Best dinner ever: leftover pad tai, some lovely salmon, and a frosted snickerdoodle. Omnom!

They`re dropping like flies!

I`m sleeping on the floor tonight ( Read more... )

I finally got some juice into my computer, so I am taking these precious minutes of online time to ramble a bit about recent things. Like... I got a VCR for $6 at Fox Valley Thrift! Now watching a nifty MxPx tape that Scoots got me ages ago, "It Came From Bremerton." I'm a left coast punk at heart. That was a fun bit of thrifting/ shopping for ( Read more... )

A few weekends ago Scoots, Jason and I happened upon an awesome band at the Gecko: The Upside Groove Coalition. They're from Illinois and they know how to get down. They're playing tomorrow night at The Bar on Holmgren Way, starting at 9:30pm. If you are tired of the same old shitty music when you go out, you must check these guys out. Great ( Read more... )

Just watched Boogie Nights. It features actors acting like they're acting. In a porn. Also, it was quite entertaining to watch Sean Connery as an adult FILM director, Julianne Moore as a porn star with a mothering complex, Philip Seymour Hoffman as a starstruck crew member and Heather Grahame as "Rollergirl ( Read more... )
