On Turning 25, Starting Graduate School, and Hawaii.

Hey All,
So, April 2nd, I’ll be 25. A somewhat significant milestone, if you will. I had always thought about being 25 in somewhat abstract terms, mainly signifying that my car insurance rates would drop. When I got back from Japan and bought a scooter, I had also never thought that I could [...]

Birthdays and Graduate School, Oh my.

Hey Hey Hey,
Today is my father’s birthday, exactly one week before mine.  Of course, it’s pretty crazy to think that I’ll be 25 in less than one week.  I’ve been so busy recently, especially with the start of graduate school.
I admit I was a bit nervous attending my first class in about three years…I felta  [...]

Lake Quinalt

Oh hey, yeah, you probably noticed by now the new banner for my site.  It’s a little snippet from my time at Lake Quinalt from about a year ago.  Y’know, it was the one day that broke the streak of 28 rainy days in a row in the Seattle area.  This was quite a lovely [...]

My end:  My FTP site is a heck of a lot cleaner, [...]

My First Audiobook

Today I purchased my first audiobook.  Thank you, thank you.  It’s really the first time I’ve had to dangle with DRM (I downloaded it through Audible.com ).  I wasn’t terribly pleased by the experience, but my Creative Zen played nicely and the book itself was amazing.  It’s World War Z , a speculative fiction work [...]

Man in Black

It’s been a fairly eventful past couple of days.  AMC successfully purchased a used car from a dealer, only to have it die today .  Fortunately, for now, the dealer (Honda of Seattle) will fix it for free. The tow man says it’s probably something with the alternator.  For the two glorious days [...]

Taxes, Check!

Well, I just filed my taxes today.  Huzzahs are in order, I believe.  Alas, I owe the government a good chunk of money (think the cost of a PS3), so that’s a bit painful.
I was a bit concerned that it was supposed to snow these last couple of days, but nothing’s stuck, so I’ve still [...]
