I think I'm probably watching too much Olympics

2008-08-19T15:10:21Z

Last night I dreamt there was an event where Sumo wrestler-type men balanced as many individual plates and other dishes all over their bodies, while a three-man band of other sumo wrestler-types played traditional chinese folk music. And the only...

weather-related injuries on their way?

2008-08-18T16:39:43Z

There are supposed to be thunderstorms today, and they are saying they are going to be kind of the midwest kind of thunderstorms. (In Western Washington, our thunderstorms are once or twice here and there, then that's all.) I lived in the midwest...

I am a talented woman

2008-08-14T17:27:45Z

Oh yes, I am. Please consider the large gash on my left nostril. I was washing my face this morning and my pinky got caught in my nose as my hand was moving up over my face, leaving a nice slice along the edge of my nostril. That, in combination ...

I watched The Times of Harvey Milk today. I never heard of Harvey Milk, growing up. But I read somewhere there was a movie being made about him, and I wondered to myself why some city councilman's life would warrant a movie. Now I know why. The...

Nothing particularly fascinating or scintillating.

The kid's at band camp as of this morning. Yeah I know... "this one time..." Just a warning: The next person that says that to me is going to get smacked. Remember how I said I was going to take a couple of days off next time he went away, to g...

Warped Tour recap

2008-08-10T16:50:48Z

Some things I learned from yesterday's Warped Tour. The theme from the tv show "The Office" really is a song, and it sounds really good performed live. I think it was the Lion Kings. I am getting old, even in my ears. Bands that scream, all so...

Heading to The Gorge!

2008-08-09T15:22:35Z

We are on our way to The Gorge, in George, Washington for the Warped Tour. I'm taking my kid and 2 of his friends. One is hyperactive so cross your fingers I don't strangle him before day's end. It's a 3 hour drive. Ugh. Gotta get going!... Have ...
