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.

on our way to the coast tomorrow (or today, depending on when you see this). i'm actually hoping to read or write. antisocial, yes, but also good for me. if you can't go to the beach to burrow into a book, where can you go? i've done most of my pre-meal cooking since i agreed to be the meal captain tomorrow night.
sven's dad died xmas eve. he's still working his way through it and i'm trying not to get in his way, to let him be sad or angry or productive or nonchalant when the mood strikes him.
at psu i spent an hour (at $30/hour!) trying to find the right office to accept my direct deposit slip. 5 different places that told me to go somewhere else. and no, i still don't have a computer yet.
had a midafternoon snack w/ markalope today, who i haven't seen in a year (and whose unfortunate last meeting was for matrix: revolutions). he says based solely on blogs alone, everyone's in a funk. it might be the weather, or it might still be lingering post-election malaise.
picked up michaelmas at the train station afterwards. arwen was very glad to see him.
it's possible i might have a chance to do the artist's way at the multnomah athletic club. they contacted me about it a couple of weeks ago and we've now had a followup conversation.
i've been too busy to make new year's resolutions (except to contact the portland calligrapher's guild, which only has a phone number). maybe that should be my first resolution.
