One thing about Halloween in San Francisco. When you are riding public transportation, it's a bit hard to tell who is in costume and who isn't. Sometimes you just can't be sure. I made sure it was clear to everyone how I was dressed.

In July 1982, my family moved to Evergreen, Colorado. It was a big change from the coastal town in Connecticut where we had been living. We were only in Evergreen for 2.5 years, but they were a very important 2.5 years of my life. That fall I started 3rd grade at Marshdale Elementary School. I met the best friend of my childhood in Mrs. Robinson's homeroom class, Jennifer Brown. Jennifer and I shared a love of horses and drawing. She taught me about music, and style, and boys. We had countless sleepovers and were always at one another's houses. Our

I have at last found a benefit of living in a house overrun with arachnids: you are able to take photos like this.

My friend posted a few photos today of a box full of kittens. Are they the cutest thing you have ever seen or what? I covet the orangish and black one in the middle so badly! I can just feel their little feet, and how soft their fur is, and they way they say "mew mew mew." And the smell *swoon* I love the way kittens smell. All warm and milky. *longing sigh* Damn evolution and its cute gene. It gets me in trouble every time.

Well, it would seem that being on a plane 4 times in the last 3 weeks has caught up with me. I came home from Chicago with a cold. I was a bit worried at first by the sore throat, since strep has been going around the office (and my mother is a strep carrier). But this morning I "luckily" woke up all congested, so it would seem I didn't catch strep but just a common cold. So I'm stuck in that spot where you feel bad enough to be whiney and want to stay in bed all day, but

This past Friday night E and I went to see Serenity in San Jose. I had been sick all day - sleeping and feeling very discombobulated, unsteady on my feet, and dizzy. I figured at worst case, I could sleep during the movie if I had to. I ended up staying awake and watching the whole thing, and even enjoying it. It's a fun space/sci fi flick (E and I had a bit of a debate on if it was actually sci fi, since it didn't really deal with the science going on in the world, but, whatever). I didn't

This weekend I dug out two old cassette tapes that were fundamental in the development of my musical tastes. One dates to 1984 and the other to 1990. In the winter of 1984 I was in 5th grade. I was about to move from Colorado back to Connecticut. My best friend from childhood, JB, and I made this mix tape together, recording songs off the radio. The first song is warbled in places as we played around with settings on her (double tape deck!) stereo, unsure the effect it would have. That tape includes: Relax, Flashdance, Wild Boys, Neutron Dance,

Christoper Walken for president? You know, if you read his platform, it's not as crazy as it first seems.
