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.

items of interest from the escondido public library:
* i wasn't able to attend the "farewell to art museum tour & pajama party" because it conflicted with artist's way! doh!
* the smithsonian sent me an offer for a senior citizen discount. i didn't realize almost-30 qualified you for that.
* i finished flesh & spirit for the "outside the box" exhibit! i quite like it.
* amelia was shipped to portland today. in fact, she probably just got there about a half an hour ago. after an hour driving to the airport, i am glad i didn't try to take her with me for two days of driving. the airline made me buy one of their kennels, though. :P
* i went to ikea to pick up some frekvens for the new apartment. i'm good at ignoring the rest of ikea, but this time i picked up a set of knives. i'm not saying ikea knives are the best, but i can guarantee you they're better than the 4 randomly dull ones i currently have and hate to use. plus, they had colored transulcent handles, and you know i'm a sucker for that.
* i went to balboa park today. i did two rounds: one before the tourists arrived, and one after. i really will miss that park. i stumbled across and through the archery range and found a seashell the size of my hand layered in the ground, leaving a fossilized imprint beneath it. a black guy on a bike called me "sweetheart." at the reflecting pool, i played tori's "take to the sky" on repeat. the gold koi get all the attention, but there was one which was my favorite color of twilight. it rained a little, too, but the drops just popped and evaporated, like champagne bubbles bursting against my skin.
today i'll finally begin packing now that i don't have any other major projects left.
