Random musings.
Well, I finally sold off my old tv through Craigslist, so I can finally reclaim a good chunk of my living room. I did recently buy an HDTV through some Thanksgiving Madness Sale, which is perhaps one of my few concessions to consumer culture (I have a soft Read More
The Seattle Art Museum has free admission the first Thursday of every month, so I wandered down to take in the newly revamped space. It was bigger than I thought I would be - lots and lots of walking around. I saw the iconic Tauruses spinning through Read More
Yesterday marked the opening of the Seattle International Film Festival, something that I've regularly participated in for about four years (if you don't count the summer I was in Japan). I was even geeky enough to become a member last year, and Read More
Spiderman swinging through the air! In IMAX! Now that's out of the way, it was all right. This weekend was the *** o Nani Hawaii club's 46th annual luau. Alas, I did not win any of the raffle prizes, but it was a delight to see students Read More
Nothing like an actual weekend with gorgeous weather to recharge the batteries. Sunday was spent amongst the tulips up at Mt. Vernon. The weather was unusually cooperative, and I even got a slight sunburn on the back of my neck. I went Read More
Even though this isn't undergraduate-related, I thought I would give a plug here for the MFA in Arts Leadership program that's kicking off this academic year. Many of my theater friends have expressed interest in it, so I thought I would give a Read More
I don't post for a week, and look what happens; a giant collision of holidays, celebrations, and whatnot. Well, to take a break from talking at length about admisisons, I'll regale you with what I did during most of these celebrations. Valentine's Day Read More
Hello Everyone, It's christmas time back in Richland. It's been pleasant to be lazy, have meals cooked for me, etc. etc. One thing that I've gotten into while being home is playing around with a photo editing program, so that I can print some panoramics Read More
Hey all, I'm doing fine. I'm without power, but hopefully power should be restored around Midnight, sayeth the Seattle.gov website. I just popped into work to grab some stuff, and met with some poor out-of-town souls who had made appointments. Read More
or, what happens when I bang my head on the keyboard. I'm sorry for my absence in posting. Last week I spent most of the time in Southwest Washington, which was hit hard by the Pineapple Express (i.e., torrential raing). There were Read More
Considered openings for this week's post: A. Local college fairs provide muffins, which are an excellent source of vitamins and minerals. B. Heading south on I-5 during rush hour is far more pleasant in the morning than in the Read More
Well, here it is, time to do my weekly update. I wish something totally amazing had happened, so that I could regale you with my witty tales. Beyond seeing my fellow coworker perform with his untitled band, nothing much has happened. I believe Read More
Last night I caught my second SIFF show, Little Red Flowers. I was surprised that a film about a kindergarten boy in China would be popular with Seattle's crowd, but it was a sold-out show, and the line wrapped around the Egyptian movie theater Read More
Well, it turns out that YouTube is a viable option if I want to imbed videos into my blog. I'll try to hold off on them, as they do take time to load. It might be one of those 'After the Jump!' type things. Anywho, because it's neat, I'll share some of my greatest hits from Japan during our slower months. Read More
I went camping to Centralia over this long weekend, about 1.5 hours south of Seattle. I stayed at the delightful Olympic Club, part of McMenamin's hotel and pub chain. There's nothing quite as satisfying as dining on a burger sitting on a Read More
