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.

yesterday was busy! michael had to work for an hour or so, then brennan, mila & philip came over to play card games. we played citadel, which i quite liked (i'm sure it didn't hurt that i won by a long shot), and chez greek (which philip won). and philip, the cool guy that he is, brought me the wicker man dvd! it's like what goethe says about committment: "what you can do, or dream you can do, begin it! boldness has genius, power and magic in it." things happen.
then michael & i went to another psu librarian's birthday party. despite the fact that i knew hardly anyone, i had a good time! the food was excellent and we were there very late. i got to meet many people i hear michael talk about (including elizabeth's "pregnant christian driver" partner, jill! :), and i guess they got to meet me. and i got to talk to some academics about online courses, which was a mixed blessing: i can talk a good game, so why can't i do anything about it? apparently jennifer had also worked for lewis & clark, though, and i was amazed at how segregated we became, despite her best efforts to shuttle between both sides of the yard.
today i'll be at david zuttermeister's studio. don't know when i'll be home yet.
