Solstice Fire Dance

June 18, 2005

Fire Dance Originally uploaded by rakuista. At the end of our Solstice celebration, one of the farm’s former interns did a brief fire dance (or poi) performance that was really stunning. Poi is one of those many things on my list of things to learn how to do some day. Video coming soon— I managed [...]

Seattle Skyline Sunset

June 15, 2005

Seattle Skyline Sunset Originally uploaded by rakuista. A test of my new Flickr functionality. I had planned originally to set up a separate blog for photos, called WanderingEye, and I might do that someday, but for right now this is much, much simpler. And since I’m completely addicted to Flickr, a great timesaver as well.

Casting the Net

January 21, 2002

Well, I’m entering my fourth official week of unemployment…I have to say that all things considered, it hasn’t been too awful. I’ve met a lot of people through various Digital Eve events in the last week, and the camaraderie has been outstanding. Lots of good tips on looking for work, leads, advice, and good conversation.

Kitchenpalooza

December 23, 2001

This has been the Week of Cooking. The house is awash in holiday cookies, the meatballs and mashed potatoes are done for Christmas dinner, Mom got her swanky birthday crab cakes and asparagus, and I’m pooped and on a sugar high. We won’t even get into my dishpan hands.

Last trip of the year

December 10, 2001

It’s booked. For anybody who reads this from the Bay Area, I’ll be back down from 12/27 through 1/6—let’s hang out! Two exciting bits from my day today: I finally replaced my futon mattress with something a little more comfortable, and the Margaret Cho tickets came in the mail! The Deb and I will be [...]

Brain in the big city

December 7, 2001

Another scouting mission planned for tomorrow in Seattle…more neighborhoods, potential employers, and I think I’ll try to fit in another screening of Waking Life, which was easily the best movie I’ve seen all year. Hopefully a day of grand adventure and exploration, and it would also be nice if I can get my laptop fixed [...]

One step forward, one step back

December 7, 2001

High school’s come a long way since I was a teenager (or at least some high schools). I’ve often wondered how my life might have been different if I’d figured out my orientation earlier (I was almost 20 before it finally dawned on me). Most of the time I think it wouldn’t have been significantly [...]

‘Tis the season…

December 6, 2001

…for Random Present Day! Now that the site’s back up, I signed up for Secret Santa. So now I get to go shopping for someone I don’t know, AND I get a present! What a deal…just another example of the Web bringing people together. Join by December 10 if you want to play — all [...]
