scans completed

Thanks to Brian, my photo album project is pretty much done. I love having prints of my pics, but it’s nice to be able to flickerize them, too. Fall of 1994, right before my band played its first show, in Dore Alley, SF Simon as a baby, with both ears intact, summer 1994 Rancid on […]

ye olden days

My band was called The Darts. 1994. That is Claudia’s butt (see below). Me as a blonde, with Claudia, Craig, and Steve. I was so dumb back then. also 1994. Me and my serious, ill-advised, long-distance boyfriend, in New York City, 1992.

eleventy thousand

I wore my pedometer today. I wore it at the gym too. I logged over 11,000 steps. Nice work, eh? Ten thousand is supposedly optimal. So I guess it’s a good thing I did three miles on the elliptical. Still have not written anything in the book for a week, but today I did complete […]

how about a couple of links?

I think my favorite web sites right now are youtube and flickr. Pretty pictures!! Here is a link involving the former: 100 awesome music videos — as chosen by Pitchfork. They are in alphabetical order by artist. I especially enjoyed the inclusion of Blur, David Brent, Journey, and Sonic Youth. I would have picked a […]

summer

The weather today and yesterday was outstanding. Just crazy, bizarre, warm, humid heat. But perfect in a way. We had a nice weekend. I finally got my desk in shape, and I’ll be getting a new chair soon so that I can actually write in the office instead of the kitchen table. This afternoon I […]

nostalgia

Last night was fun. We had vegetarian dinner, and Brian and I shared a vanilla bean sorbet dessert with pomegranate juice. Joshua’s mom was there too, and she was just as funny as she is. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that she also drives a Prius, in spite of living in a tiny central […]

off balance

Last night I did housework for a couple of hours. It felt good — the apartment needed it after having been neglected since we went on vacation. I also learned that you can’t put a heavy braided floor mat by itself in the washer because the high-speed spin cycle will cause the washing machine to […]
