Pride 2008 June 30, 2008
Pride yesterday was a lot of fun. Every other year I’ve gone, I’ve shot from the sidelines, doing my best to get an overview of the entire parade and all the different groups. This year, I decided to try something different.

Sentenced to two life terms in bed? June 26, 2008
Another addition to the list of reasons why I’m going to hell, or, things I really shouldn’t find funny, but do.

Leaving Seattle June 23, 2008
It’s official — Prairie and I have a new apartment! The third place of four that we looked at ended up hitting all our ‘gotta have it’ qualifications, our ‘would be nice if’ qualifications, plus a bunch of other goodies that sold us.

Website Tweaks June 18, 2008
One of the projects I’d like to tackle over the summer is redesigning my weblog. However, as the major project over the next few weeks here at home needs to be packing things up and preparing for a move, I’ve settled for doing a bit of minor tweaking here and there to streamline things where I can.

The Threat of Photography June 5, 2008

Fire Tornadoes June 4, 2008
