Katie and I had the same dream

Saturday, April 6th, 2013

ROFL. It was opening day.  The layout and the location of the restaurant was completely different; we had kids running around, a lot of extra space, and we had no cash register.  It was a complete zoo.  Katie and I were laughing our asses off as we traded notes.  No, it wasn’t an identical dream, [...]

Gay schlafen

Saturday, February 9th, 2013

The newest character in Midnite Moving can be sent to sleep for a couple of hours by saying gay schlafen, which is go to sleep in Yiddish.  Which is the kind of thing that happens when two people who are alien mad scientists who shouldn’t be having or raising children decide “I’ma risk it”.  And [...]

And your choice of one veggie entree….

Saturday, February 2nd, 2013

In a spectacular outburst of insanity, I may buy a takeout/café.  It’s in a part of Edmonds that is very dead for restaurants, but in about three months the new rec/community center will open and there will actually be more traffic.  I’ll be talking to the current owner on Monday.  It’s a really good deal [...]

Oddiculosis

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

I am full of weirdness.  Just found out from LTGW that he used the Thousand Sided Dice to come up with his twitter name!  He was thrilled with it… I’m just glad it’s Substantially Complete. Paul’s Birthday celebration is tomorrow.  I took the liberty of inviting half a dozen people to it… also, I’m thawing [...]

wonderful dream(s)

Tuesday, September 4th, 2012

Last night, or more properly this morning, I had two wonderful dreams, one about a Vancouver being returned as the land of the people who first lived here, and how different things were (no privately owned cars – you had to share car ownership with housemates or family, and the transit was WAY better (there [...]

Day 1 cold turkey

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

I am giving up beer for atheist lent. This is awesome resonator slide.  And of course I think of John.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLzs4dnuAbI&feature=share%27%2C%29 Jeff and I have started a contest.  If either of us win, we will both win.  If we both win, everybody will win.  And that’s a contest I can get behind.  

Any day I don’t have to scrape or defog the car is a good one / Resolution list

Monday, January 9th, 2012

Katie’s coworkers reacted to her new boots (she WORE THEM AT WORK for the last half of the shift, they is that comfy) with a gratifying display of jealousy, appreciation and WTF that her mOm would spend that much money on her. Wednesday, probably, I go have dins with my old beau from the bike [...]

Woke up at 1, back to sleep at 2:30

Friday, January 6th, 2012

Up again at 6:30, after a dream during which a cop with a hot dog stand style radar gun pulled me over and I said to him in annoyance “My car is supposed to go fast”. And then I woke up. Weather is pleasant today, with many many crows. Katie and Jeff and I had [...]

octopi vancouver

Saturday, October 15th, 2011

Care package for the demo.  2 blankies, including a hand made quilt donated  mOm; batteries, a drum and a penny whistle and an egg shaker; two pairs of socks, a complete rain outfit men’s medium, a yoga mat, reusable tie wraps, a metal portable desk with paper, a granola bar, a nice name tag, and [...]

Trying really hard

Wednesday, April 20th, 2011

To help Mike get a job here.  I really really hope it works out, because it would be beautiful in so many ways….

Buzz is in da house (well, actually Paul’s ’cause that’s where the amp is).

Tuesday, April 12th, 2011

With singing heart, I tell you that after a year long search, I have acquired an electric 12 string. He’s a solid body, glossy black, strung Rickenbacker style, and the action is so light I can play for an hour – bar chords even! – and his name is Buzz.  (The six string is Kehaar [...]

so grateful…. and a bit sad

Tuesday, February 15th, 2011

Spent the evening of Peggy’s most recent b-day hanging around the Puddle (I swam eight lengths but boy is my back stiff this morning) and consuming mint tea and biscotti.  Highly recommended.  Paul and Tom were there too. Last night I dreamed that Justin Bieber was dead and I was hired to squeal like a [...]

I am dancing in Tahrir Square

Friday, February 11th, 2011

Thanks to the magic of the internet. Oh people of Egypt, tell the army that you’ll split the difference of all the money you recover from Mubarak.  That man needs to sit in front of a judge.

While I was in Pleasanton….

Monday, November 8th, 2010

staying in John Madden’s boutique hotel, the Rose, which is GORGEOUS (and John M was actually there in the lobby bar the night we arrived, oddly enough but of course I had no reason to speak to him or harass him so I just smirked)… I had a dream. About five in the morning the [...]
