mentally saying goodbye

December 30, 2004

I was in a really different place when I first stumbled onto Blurty in 2003. A friend pointed it out to me, and I became rather absorbed in talking about things the way I see it.
At the time my job was demanding a whole lot of my time and sanity. My friendships and […]

holidays

December 29, 2004

The holiday has been fun. I’ve spent some really great time with people I love, and even got to play a board game I’ve never seen before. It’s funny, I grew up with no kids around me and played a lot of board games against myself… so I still find myself fascinated by […]

Dress Your Family In Corduroy and Denim

December 22, 2004

A couple of months ago my friend Brad sent me a book. I’d been tied up reading other things and didn’t have a chance to read it until Sunday, and I finished up last night. David Sedaris’ Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim is a lot of fun. It gave me […]

friends

December 20, 2004

I have had a few chances to hang out with really good friends the last few weeks, and it just leaves me hungering to get out the house and hang out with them some more.
It’s frustrating and doesn’t leave me feeling festive at all.
If employment succeeds, then transportation may not be […]

Life of Pi

December 17, 2004

I finished reading Life of Pi today. The story was an excellent exploration of animals, zoos, and religion. It would make more sense if you read it I suppose.
There were so many poignant moments in the book that I don’t really feel like I can pick out one, but there is a point […]

blasphemy

December 6, 2004

Yesterday, as mom sorted through a closet, we stumbled across old report cards, newspaper clippings, coats, jackets, shoes, and a box of books.
I was pleased with the find because I had been looking for some of these books. A bookcase was dismantled while I was away, and the books had vanished.
What […]

Rurouni Kenshin: Reflections

December 3, 2004

Last night I watched the last DVD in the Samurai X collection, titled Reflections.
All I can say is that the writing was good, it was a romance that was utterly tragic yet beautiful, and the artwork was great. One of the things I’ve really appreciated about the whole OVA/movie thing is that there’s a […]

the season for greeting

December 2, 2004

This is the first time in a while to actually be caught up in the season of giving, shopping, mass marketing, and some neat traditions. It’s been a while, so the songs and store decorations aren’t annoying me as much as they have in the past.
Today I’ve started working on this year’s holiday greeting […]

mystical web design

December 1, 2004

It may just be me, but the whole design and code thing is really starting to make sense. I like it when jobs go faster than expected.
If you only read here, you won’t see it, but eveninghawk.com has a new front page. Go see it, I think it’s pretty and would love some […]

Fall Photos posted

November 30, 2004

I have not taken a ton of pictures since I returned to the US, actually I’ve only taken 55, many of which I will probably never use. I finally got around to culling the mix and picking some of particular merit to stick in the gallery.
Most of them are from around my house, but […]
