Happy New Year. Fuck Cancer.

Posted in Life, tagged , on January 1, 2012 | 2 Comments »

I wrote a long blog entry that I was planning to post for New Year’s. It was a fairly comprehensive look back on 2011. In it, evaluated my goals from last January, reviewed my submission stats, and took a look forward to next year. Then, on the evening of Wednesday the 29th, my mom called. [...]

Of Stories and Beliefs

Posted in Life, Writing, tagged , , on December 13, 2011 | 2 Comments »

So far, there have been two topics that I’ve generally avoided on the blog: politics, and religion. And while I’ve skirted the “politics” rule a few times, now it’s time to skirt the “religion” one, because this is something I’ve wanted to write a post about for a while– not religion itself, but the relationship [...]

A Day at GeekGirlCon

Posted in Life, Writing, tagged , , on October 10, 2011 | 3 Comments »

This weekend was the first annual GeekGirlCon, a new convention in Seattle dedicated specifically to the girls and women of geekdom. And even though I’m not a geek girl, I decided to spend a day there on Saturday. (After all, I go to Dragon*Con every year despite not being large, green, and scaly…) And sure [...]

On the Sidelines of the Pride Parade

Posted in Life, tagged , on June 27, 2011 | 2 Comments »

Yesterday morning I went to the 37th Annual Seattle Pride Parade. Having never been to a pride parade before, I wasn’t sure what to expect… well, I had an idea, of course, but I was curious as to how close to reality it would be. So I took my camera and headed downtown in the [...]

Riding Painted

Posted in Life, tagged , on June 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

(WARNING: Most of the links contain nudity. Painted nudity, but nonetheless- consider yourself warned.) Yesterday I rode in the Fremont Solstice Parade with the Painted Cyclists. The cyclists aren’t officially part of the parade, but every year, they ride the route before it starts, wearing nothing (or close to nothing) except bodypaint. Sometimes the paint [...]

Reflections On the Occasion of a Birthday, or Why I Write

Posted in Life, Writing, tagged , , on June 6, 2011 | 3 Comments »

My 30th birthday was two days ago. It ‘s a little unreal; I feel more like a twenty year old than a thirty year old, although since I don’t have much experience yet with what being thirty feels like, I guess that’s a little silly to say. But you usually figure, someone who’s 30, they’re [...]

Quick Thoughts on Bin Laden’s Passing

Posted in Life, tagged , on May 1, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Intellectually, I know Osama bin Laden’s death doesn’t change anything. Al Qaeda still exists. The Taliban is still as strong as ever. Our troops won’t be coming home from Afghanistan tomorrow, or probably anytime soon. Iraq is still a mess. Libya is still a mess. Nor will the death of Bin Laden solve the Israel/Palestine [...]

A Few Hours At Emerald City Comicon

Posted in Life, tagged , , on March 6, 2011 | 3 Comments »

It pains me to admit that, by and large, comic books are a gaping hole in my geek-cred. I’ve only bought a handful over the course of my life, and while I’ve certainly seen my share of comic book movies, in general I prefer my stories to be of the wordier variety. But I still [...]

Photography at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park

Posted in Life, tagged , , , on February 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

It wasn’t my intention to do two photo-heavy blog entries in a row, but I ended up spending most of the afternoon with the Seattle Flickrite Meetup Group at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park, about half an hour’s drive north of Seattle, and wanted to post some of my better results. As in the last post, I’ll [...]

Today was a Good Day

Posted in Life, tagged , , on February 19, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Note: Clicking on any of the photos in this entry will take you to a super-large version of the picture. If your Internet speed is slow, you probably shouldn’t click. Just felt the need to exude some general warmth and satisfaction on my blog, because today was a good Saturday. It was a cloudless Februrary [...]
