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.

Lake Quinalt

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 [...]
