Having sold our TV to Chris and Jeanne last weekend while dealing with interminable shipping delays on the Toshiba DLP we ordered, Brian and I have found ourselves without any means to watch movies for a good week now. While this hasn't made too big a difference in our usual activities, last night we [...]

Oddities and connections

This morning I've been feeling stressed out for a number of reasons. For one thing, I made the mistake of starting out the morning with a double-shot mocha on an empty stomach, figuring it'd make me feel more alert and focused. It did, but also had the side effect of making me feel [...]
Amusing technology story

Brian recently bought us (and by “us”, I mean “mostly me”) a black 4 GB iPod Nano, which is just the coolest gadget ever – it's tiny and lightweight and holds the vast majority of my music collection. Since my car stereo doesn't have an auxillary input jack, he also got us a TuneBase [...]
Nifty job and second-job news

Yeah, I bet you all thought I'd given up on the second-job gig, hm? Not exactly – there was an ad for part-time work with the Juneau Empire, so I sent a resumé in with a cover letter telling them I'd be interested in something evening/weekendish, figuring that the worst that'd happen would be [...]
Ups and downs

Things have been kind of interesting the last week or so. It seemed like last week couldn't go by more slowly – not for any particular reason; it just seemed to take forever (and left me in a grouchy mood for much of it as a result). This week is going better, but [...]

Most uniquely Alaskan thing I've seen lately: A VW minibus rolling down the highway…with a dogsled strapped to the top.

What does it say about my psyche that I'm starting to have some really serious theatre withdrawals? I have a nice life, very stable, and I've been pretty sane for the better part of [...]
Caution: Disjointed rant ahead

So when I still couldn't wake up this morning (which might have something to do with the fact that I had to drop Brian off at the heliport at 6:10 AM), I decided to more or less abandon the high road and get myself a frelling mocha, already. Consequently, I'm having a much better [...]
Blargh…

Can't seem to wake up this morning. Am doing my best to resist the siren call of various stimulants.
Still sunny, which is nice. Supposed to cloud over later, which is not so nice but also a relief. It's been way too darn hot for Alaska the last few days.
Mr. Jerry Brown's been [...]
Another darn J&W quote

Background info: Joe, our resident parts guy and gardner, has a habanero plant that he's been growing the past couple years. This year, he gave a number of clippings to different techs so they could grow their own. Over the last few years, he's discovered a hormone spray that works even better [...]
Audition rundown
Posted in Uncategorized on June 10, 2006 | Leave a Comment »
Yes, my audition was today. Interestingly enough, even though I'd been practicing “If You Got It, Flaunt It” more or less continuously, PJ had me sing “I Don't Know How To Love Him” – probably because David Paul already knew the piano part. In an odd kind of way, I think it probably [...]
