And so I return from a vacation that was far too relaxing and thus ended far too quickly. Sunriver was beautiful in that way that only the dry desert climate can be, and the water was better than anything bottled or filtered. Ah, mountain water. How I love thee. Next time we're totally bringing empty gallon jugs and filling up as many as we can....

Go wish EnergyChannel a happy birthday, because he's awesome and I love him.

Now I steal him and leave for a few days. Please don't mourn my absence too much, as I'll return on Monday.

Because of the Paybacks' penchant for crappy crappy local opening bands (see last entry), I decided to skip the show and stay home reading Bradbury short stories instead, while EnergyChannel sat through The Chronicles of Riddick. I'm halfway through the stories that eventually became known as the Martian Chronicles, and it's fun reading them again, as it's been about five years since last I...

Damn, where the hell did August go? We leave for Bend on Thursday, for a long weekend at a cabin, a Pixies concert, and good times with friends.

But, before that, I get to see the Paybacks again on Tuesday! Yay for the Paybacks! They are awesome, and no other woman can sound so much like a man as Wendy Case can.

The first time...

Look! I got my hair cut!

(like a week ago, but I was lazy and didn't change my profile pic until today.)

I haven't had bangs for like 4 years, so it feels a bit different.

The rain is currently cascading down in diagonal sheets. CASCADING, my friends. I almost want the sun back, although it's so nice to be able to wear clothes without sweating through them in an hour.

Also, I made hot chocolate the other day to revel in the cooler air. It was delicious.

So maybe the rain just needs to let up a little bit. I...

At the risk of overusing a phrase, good times were had last night. hansel came over with a lovely present of homemade vodka some friends of his made, and the three of us had a lovely evening of mixed drinks, music, and intellectual (at times) conversation. Just what I needed to end the weekend, and the vodka was damn good too. We assured him that...

Happy anniversary to EnergyChannel and myself. We've been together for one whole year now.

Yep, met him right here on SG. Exactly two weeks after I joined. He's awesome, and he's all mine.

He's cooking tonight. Try not to envy me.

First impressions of the new Elliott Smith album:

Overall, it's pretty good, a mix of older sound and Figure 8. A little too much of the latter and not quite enough of the former. A few standout songs, a few fall-flat kinda songs. I don't like what they decided to do with "Shooting Star", after having heard it sung by my friend Stan solo acoustic...

It's been a week, so I suppose that's long enough to let that entry stay up. Even if I don't really like the politics around here, I'll probably stick around for awhile longer, because I do still enjoy the people.

Highlights of this weekend include a daytrip up to Seattle to return Elliot. He's at that stage where he gets carsick every time on long...

Two of my friends, disappearhere and anything, have been zotted, with no reason given. As my friends list grows shorter by the day, I begin to question how much longer I want to hang around here.

It's been a year. Maybe that's long enough for now.

This isn't meant to be a dramatic "tell me how much you'd miss me" statement, it has just been...

Bleh. It figures that as soon as a busy weekend and week come up, my body decides to get sick. Damn you, body! You've betrayed me!

It's just a cold, but still, I feel like death. Sniffly death.

Hey, guess what? I just realized I've been on SG for one year today. Go me.

Maybe I'll have to do one of those retrospective type...
