12:58 AM: one less thing to worry about

whoo hoo! i paid off my last credit card today! all that's left is the student loan, which i think the next psu check will take care of, and trixie, who i'll be paying for until the summer of 2007.
we went on the se portland art walk today, which was fun. saw alex & miles at haven. i actually walked away with some art on this tour, which is unusual, but some of the prices were insanely low for such good work! sven & i also got to see the photovoltaic blue "light therapy pyramid" hidden at the full spectrum health center. :)
then i went to see guerilla girls at reed, which didn't feel like anything new to me (and one of them was unfortunately badly miked & difficult to understand), but afterwards reed was in the middle of a celebration in the commons that involved torches, drums, fire dancing, costumes with large bird skulls and skeleton wings, dancing, low-altitude fireworks, costumes with shiny boots, 4-foot-tall bicycles, shopping carts full of plastic buckets, costumes with ribbons, and explosions. several things went through my mind simultaneously: 1. hey, nothing like this ever happened at MY college! 2. yep, this was definitely the right place for sven to go to college. 3. i could see how reed people would definitely be non-plussed about burning man.
the explosions were scary, though; something was planted in the grass like land mines and they were so loud they'd leave your ears ringing. that was my cue to go.
