i am an unrequited astronomer, pretend patient, gentle adventurer, pedal enthusiast, recovering calligrapher, occasional thespian and unfinished poet living in portland, oregon. contacting me via email is usually a good idea.

waking up was difficult this morning. and then there was 20mph traffic. i was exhausted and around 3 i had to take a little break and slept in someone's cubicle for 15 minutes. but i am so enamoured of roman caps it doesn't matter, really. i tried a tape nib today and i quite like it: unlike the mitchells, tapes don't split on upstrokes. but i'm having so much trouble with "o"s! teri thinks i'm twisting the pen instead of keeping it at a consistent angle and i believe her, but i can't feel it and i keep making the same mistake over and over again.
i got a little misty today, realizing i wouldn't see most of these people again. there was much hugging and hand-holding and earnest pleas for contact. calligraphers are good folk. *sniffle*
terrilynn was sick so i paid for her paper & ink order and stopped by her house on the way back. and brian gave me strawberries! i love it when people give me food. :) at home, i'm still trying to finish backing up my email. tomorrow i'll go in and back up onto larkspur and finish the other items on the list. then i'll be done! done! moo ha ha ha!
