Last night I unearthed a stack of typed pages that I wrote when I was twenty. They appeared to be, for the most part, journals I kept between May and August of 1993. I read through them and was astonished at how detailed I was in my recollections of almost every day. It was around […]

When we got home, one of the first things I did was get one of my old big boxes down off the shelf in the closet. I wanted to ensure that I did indeed still have my flyer collection. And I do, whew. I have the flyer for my very first punk show, 1/17/92. I […]
1992

So yesterday I went to Olympia. I lived there from ages 18-21, and it was fairly life-altering, as those ages inevitably are. I ran into several people I knew back then, and happily they all recognized me, though I look pretty different now. The whole visit made me happy. Except perhaps for the part where […]

Wow. The Lucky Seven House was a punkhouse in Olympia WA where I hung out a lot back in 92 and 93. It was a focal point. It was a place for all the kids to hang out every night. You know. Just found out that it’s still going strong. Several generations later. That is […]
birthday!

Happy birthday today to my husbandman Brian! I even wore my pretty pearls today. We went to dinner at a French restaurant and I had a glass of bordeaux. I also gave him a shiny new iPod. It’s slimmer and prettier than mine, and it even plays movies. KICKASS I’ve probably been spending too much […]

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 […]

I’m bringing my camera with me to work tomorrow. Let’s see if I can find any interesting shots. Speaking of pictures, I have two fat photo albums on my desk full of prints that need to be scanned and uploaded. I tried to do this a few years ago, but on a very shitty scanner […]

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 […]
