Stranger in a strange land

I’m sitting in the wi-fi hotspot at the PDX airport. Kento dropped me off early so that he could bid me a loving farewell. That was damn hard….ah love. The good news for me is that Maine has one of the coolest climates in the lower 48, and I loves the cool weather. However, I’llContinue reading “Stranger in a strange land”

Off to Maine

Flying off to Maine tomorrow. Here goes the long haul away from PDX. This is the longest I’ve been away from portland since I moved here in 95. I’m excited for the experience, but I’m sad to be away from my honey. Thank goodness for webcams 🙂

Ganza Diary day 4

We were bused out to Karen’s house outside of Edmonton for a BBQ. I had a lot fo good food, and we spent a lot of time bouncing on a trampoline. That rocked. Some of the other participants arrived later today (Slovenes and a Belgian). There are yet more people to arrive over the nextContinue reading “Ganza Diary day 4”

We had some great scenes, and the festivalContinue reading “On the Road”

I had a great time in Seaside with Kento. We weathered hanging out for over 24 hours together well. I got seranaded with the flute and introduced to time crisis. Fucking awesome. Now to finish this damn paper. I will prevail.

Manic Panic

I’m a loser who can’t focus and complete my homework. I’ve procrastinated myself into a corner. Now I must fight my way to the end of the term. I can’t wait to finish, but it’s a mixed blessing. I’m falling in love and losing a friend. It burns me that all of this is happeningContinue reading “Manic Panic”

End of an era

We had the last show of the original cast of funnyBusiness last night. My friend Nate is leaving for Rochester NY in July while I’m gone. I’m a bit sad about it. Nate has been a great friend and confidant to me for over 8 years. We’ve shared a brain and a sense of humorContinue reading “End of an era”

First Post
