r.i.p. world birthday web. wow...that was a super old school site! remember when the web had, like, 4 web sites on it? remember surfing the entire web in, like, 3 hours?

drumming, drumming, drumming...what is wrong with *drumming* up a little business for a yard sale? plenty if the area residents (and guests) are trying to sleep. apparently people in capitol hill will stop at nothing to attract a little business.

have you seen apocalypse now redux yet? some surprising new additions for sure. especially the french sequence and the second playboy bunnies sequence. anyway, that's all i say about that...other than bring a pillow for your ass. long film, long film.

well, it seems that august may not end up as much of a blog month either. i'm so behind on the *i* word...steve said that he had nearly forgotten about it too. boy, what were we all thinking with that? anyway, lots of interesting stuff going on at work but none of which i will post here. sorry!

i'm feeling kind of lonely tonight. i can't really say why. well i guess that i do know why...i guess reality always manages to creep into everything no matter how much we try to keep it at bay. and i guess that maybe we are never as immune to things as we thought that we had become.

the street dj was back in full force this morning apparently, although i wasn't on the westside this morning. steve was in town for the weekend and so we did some touristy stuff. finally went up to mt. ranier, although not very far in. and speaking of ranier...loria and michael are coming to town in a little less than a month. so this has been quite the visitor's summer it seems.

i've gotta get back to updating this thing more often i see. i guess that i started feeling weird about the whole blog and i can't quite figure out what to do about it. would anyone miss it if it were gone?

ok, so august didn't start out as much of a blog month. i was sick this past week...what can you do? all i can say is that the er in kirkland is pretty fucked up at 3am. talk of charcoal, pills, and headers down the hill...all while the security guards laughed and laughed. i *think* that i was the normal one in there that night. so there you go. context.

anyway, to catch everyone up...lucia and jesse were both in town and steve is coming into town next weekend. took lucia to dilettante's and jesse to coastal kitchen. it was good to see everyone but all the same kind of strange seeing everyone in a city other than chambana. so...talk of a new officemate starting next week are on the agenda now...ah...yikes.

one question: who exactly is that street dj on republican? like clockwork.

sick, sick, sick...
