Nothing too exciting for news. I'll probably be attending day 2 or 3 of a local music festival at the Hotel Congress. Exciting!

I really haven't been meaning to be so inactive on the site, but, well, I've been playing Bioshock. Today I call to set up my next tattoo, the digits of pi down my arm (nerd-fuckin'-core!).

Two things:
1) Bioshock comes out today. I'm so excited; I'm skipping work a little early (I'm also getting in early) to go pick it up and play. Yes, I am a nerd.

2) My cousin is trying to convince me that a) global warming isn't really man-made (he claims the sun is getting hotter-I have a degree in this stuff, and I say bullshit),...

Right now, right at this very moment, it is too hot in Tucson for pants.

It's odd with the sudden onset of depression like what went on earlier in the week. I'd wax philosophical about the nature of mind versus brain and how some of us are at least partly slaves to our biochemistry, but, honestly, I don't have it in me today. I'm feeling a little tired and wiped out after the effects of depression wear off (for the...

Blah blah blah bored. Blah blah blah depressed. Blah.

Not much is too new here; Maya's mom is in town and staying in our office/guest room, so I've been pretty unable to login much to anything lately. We had a roach infestation recently (not the good kind). It seems, with all the recent rains, they're coming up out of the sewers into... wherever they can. As it turns out, there was once a drain...

I went to see Rasputina with an old friend on Tuesday. This friend had been out of town for about 5 years, so that was the first time I got to hang out with him in all that time. I'm not exactly a huge Rasputina fan, but I do find the between-songs banter pretty funny (the singer's got little routines for all her songs), and...

And, at long last, we have internet service again. Cox truly does live up to its name.

And speaking of vector-borne illness, Tucson just had its first confirmed case of West Nile Virus about 4 square blocks from my home. I'm staying away from mosquitos. And the outdoors. Mostly the outdoors because it's fucking hot.

This malaria thing has got me thinking-Maya's been having headaches and just feeling nasty the past 2 weeks. I don't feel too bad, although I've just been...

So, because of my trip to the Yucatan, I was apparently in a "high malaria risk area" and can't give blood for a year. Too bad, cause it's a pretty easy charity. I'll have to do something else to make up for it.

On the good side of all this, plans for the pi sleeve are under way. I'll take pictures, don't you worry.

I had a dream last night that I went to Africa to go visit a dude who'd been running a hydroponic farm. This is related to a story that I heard yesterday on NPR. It was a surprisingly normal dream, except that I'd gone to Africa solely to visit this guy. I hadn't even had contact with him or any idea what I was going...
