I know I’m a bit hard on the Christians sometimes. It’s hard not to be when you live in these parts and see virtually all of the most fucktarded things get themselves attached to it. Just the latest example: Aunt B points us to this atrocious story about some bloodthirsty kid who’s been raised to [...]
Well I’m a day late posting about B’s Beantown Bash, and it’s already well documented by most everyone else that was there, so there’s not much I can add. It was a blast, at least the parts I can remember. And according to Kate it sounds like the parts I don’t much remember were pretty [...]
Penne pasta instead of rice in tonight’s soup was a nice change of pace. Jalapeños on the other hand were a very bad idea. At least, the slices-in-a-jar type were a bad idea, because it wasn’t the spiciness that spoiled it, but the pungent vinegar-iness which I suppose is mostly from the juice they’re stored [...]
After lunch, I headed in to the UC Berkeley campus. I took the tour they give for prospective students (hey, you never know, right? : )
It was a very good tour. Being that it was part sales-pitch, the guide of course made a point of telling us about some of the school’s accomplishments, mentioning factoids [...]

So Monday I hopped in the car and trekked up 880 to spend some time in Berkeley. I spent the morning wandering through the city itself, down University Ave and some of the neighboring areas west of campus.
Walking through the residential areas, I was overwhelmed by the tremendous [...]

OK, here’s one for my botanically knowledgeable friends — these things have sprouted up in my backyard. Now, things that I can’t identify growing in my yard is pretty much par for the course, but these are weird in that they seem way too random to be something the previous owners intentionally planted. There are [...]

The Moon is a card of magic and mystery - when prominent you know that nothing is as it seems, particularly when it concerns relationships. All logic is thrown out the window.
The Moon is all about visions and illusions, madness, genius and poetry. This is a [...]
Falling behind on the California photos & posts — where does the time go? Well here’s a quick one –
As mentioned, I made a run up to San Francisco on the Sunday night before heading back to Santa Clara for the convention; meanwhile, Mike had arrived a few days earlier and was in ‘Frisco as [...]
Let us briefly interrupt the California recaps to write up the weekend –
Thursday — 3rd meeting in the South Nashville Planning process. Pretty uneventful. They showed us maps marking out their proposed changes to the land use policies (not zoning, but the guidelines that encourage zonings) and basically just made sure we were cool with [...]
