Werd.

That was pretty cool.

I've pitched the idea to a couple of people and had some interest so I'm making you the same proposal. Would you at all be interested in a horror gaming night?

I definitely relate to the obsessions and the built up angst with occasional flash points. Obsessing over one activity is easier for me to avoid through conscious effort, although I then have to worry about spreading myself too thin. The latter is something I think and hope will go away as I progress towards my goals.

You are so thorough here. Here's a project: get your novel published. Escape in the adventure of finding a perfect publisher. Yeesh. Break the damn game. If you want to feel less angst my suggestion is this: pack music, snacks, water a book to read and a book to write and leave your home. Escapism is angst's remedy. But escape literally, not in a game. Believe you me, why? why not.

It's nice. minimalist, yet you've got a lot to look at. Definitely class act stuff.

I guess you won't be having any chilluns then.

I too have noticed the journal hibernation.

caffeine is so addictive. i've completely cut it out. motivation is hard to have sometimes.

i don't get it. what did you quit two months ago?

That's interesting. I'd not heard that. Not inconceivable considering if I'm on the net it's usually right here.

From BBC News today:

US troops, armed with a shoot-to-kill policy, are being sent to New Orleans to quell growing lawlessness, four days after Hurricane Katrina hit.

Yeah, the ones talking loudest in those matters are usually the least informed.

I seriously think they should just walk away from that city. Build a big fence around it and call it a superfund site. It's going to cost so much more to rebuild than to just relocate everyone, and even if they do rebuild, it seems obvious it will just happen again one day.

I thought distilleries had egregious regulations but it was only a general impression I had, not based on hard facts. That was why I recommended experimenting on your own. I'll be really interested in hearing more about it if you decide to pursue it. Have you considered making infusions with off-the-shelf vodka? It could be an easy first step to testing your ideas before investing in equipment.

You could buy a small storage barn for your "seperate building". That's the only idea I have.

I'd do as much research myself and try to avoid the lawyers until contracts and other issues come up. The state and King county websites have been good resources for me to find business related information in the past. This says the state fees are $2000 for a distiller. Local zoning ordinances as well as the county regulations need to be checked. If I were to do it and wasn't going to use extremely expensive equipment, I'd probably experiment and develop a recipe before creating a business or going for permits.

The other night everyone headed inside less than an hour after I arrived. I looked up at the stars and remembered how crowded it seemed inside and decided to head off to greenlake and look at the water and the sky.
