Everybody else is doing it, so why can’t I?

Just finished reading Michael Chabon’s “The Final Solution”. About Chabon, I don’t quite have him figured out yet. It’s obvious he’s very talented, but he doesn’t seem to go for emotion as much as he does for the streamlined flow of his story. Kind of like that prick guy that everyone knows who incessantly talks [...]

So this is what spring is: it’s 7:30pm as I write this, and the sun is just beginning to set. And there are more flowers for sale than I have vases to fill, which is why the daffodils are are starting to bloom horizontally in my one working vase, stalks bent. And I don’t have [...]

Just for the hell of it, I was looking through my “friends”‘ Friendster profiles (don’t believe me if you don’t want to, but it’s not something I do particularly often).

Currently watching Mythbusters (that Kari chick is hottt!), and Law and Order: Criminal Intent.

How arrogant of us to envision our lovers as our own creation. Created in our image, like God and Adam. Because I was bored, I googled a name. The hits were technical forums, papers, conferences. Also obscure buy-and-sell websites. I wonder what one would need used playstations for. I still find it so strange to [...]

So the temperature has steadily been pre-teen or teen in the last week or so, and the weekends are just fantastic streams of sunshine and warmth, and I’ve been enjoying every minute. When we open the window we can hear birds, little brown sparrows like the maya, chirping like crazy, and a pigeon couple seem [...]
