i didn’t want to, but i signed up for a twitter account, allegedly so i could “keep in contact” with the previous host provider… no, this isn’t going to be another gripe about my host provider, although it starts out seeming that way, bear with me… of course, it didn’t work, and i don’t have [...]
Also tagged malfunctioning computers, rantsthe further back you go, the more dramatically my memory fades, but because of my injury, i have a significant gap in specific memories between about 1985 and 2003. because of the fact that i was not taking very many pictures during that period, i don’t remember much, but i recently came across a whole [...]
Also tagged brain injury, forwards into the past, getting oldthis was scanned from the last box of stuff i haven’t looked at in 5 years, and was probably packed in that box 3 to 5 years before that. it’s a relic of my time at microsoft. i don’t know where it came from before that.

Also tagged bizarre, friday the thirteenthabout this time last year, i discovered yet another 10-lined june beetle, and this year is apparently no different, except that this beetle has all of his annenæ, unlike the previous beetles i have found… and, once again, i wonder if they have some kind of metaphysical meaning of which i am not aware. more [...]
Also tagged beetle, found objectsso i recently broke down and purchased R. Crumb’s monumental project, The Book of Genesis, and i was flipping through it appreciating the elaborate artwork, when i came across this:this is an illustration of a story i had located many years ago, and then promply forgot, but this is actually a better way of looking [...]

Also tagged banda gozona, bssb, links, ocf, philharmonic, players, SACBOso my package arrived, and it contains what appears to be the correct stuff, so my anxiety has been pretty much erased… however, my inquisitiveness is piqued, because the packaging is slightly different from what i would have expected, and it contains some elements that are what i thought to be indications that it was [...]

Also tagged damselfly, found objects, important things to rememberi can’t really say anything about the new BBWP performance (primarily because despite the fact that we’re scheduled to perform in about 4 weeks, we haven’t actually decided what the performance is going to be, yet), but here’s a hint…

Also tagged ganesha the carmy host provider has decided that he’s going to stay in business for his existing customers but not take any new customers. it eases my concern about finding a new host provider immediately, but i’m still going to move eventually, because i really don’t like being jerked around like that. the first time you said [...]

Also tagged ganesha the cari went to an art car show in kirkland last week, and painted about a quarter of a line before i had some serious problems with my purple paint pen and ended up splattering purple paint all over the part that i had already painted, so there was a great deal of clean up last [...]
