June 2006 Books
I ‘m having a hard time focusing lately so I have not been able to read very much this past month. I’m sure that will only continue to be the case for the crazy coming month of July, the month that we cannot mention in my house without clutching our pearls and closing our eyes…

Have Done: Seattle Before I Go
Go salsa dancing again. Wear more comfortable shoes this time and bring an ice pack. Haven’t done that yet, although I did buy some more comfortable dancing shoes. It will have to be next Thursday, if at all. Who’s in? Bake an Italian cheesecake and garnish with fresh strawberries. Take to potluck. Graciously decline marriage…

What About Prom?
This may come as something of a surprise to you, but I did not go to my senior prom in 1993. I didn’t go to my junior prom in 1992, either. In fact I am compelled to admit that I went to exactly no proms while I was in high school, and that for a…

Singing
The other day driving home from something I was having particularly good luck with the iPod on Shuffle. Sometimes I think that this iPod…actually, this iteration of this iPod, as I just switched it out again, for the fifth time since I dropped it and it broke last summer. I promise you, as I promised…

Team Sisu
I pretty much never talk about work here, for some of the obvious reasons (bad form, mate) but also some non-obvious ones, the foremost being that I have never managed to put together a cocktail party-appropriate sentence about what I do for money and to keep me off the street. I could just look at…

I’m Looking Forward
…to my week at the Octopus Resort, which I really did choose for its name alone, even though there’s nothing specifically octopus-oriented about it. It’s just a cool name. I mean, if I were going to be a DJ my DJ name would totally be DJ Architeuthis or something, so I can understand the impulse.…

Dear Natalie
Girl, since the last time I wrote one of these, the sheer number of babies-of-friends has well-nigh exploded. Your Aunties Marah and Manya have each had second children in the interim (sorry I didn’t get right on those entries, Luke and Kayla), and then a bunch of my non-Key-Girl friends had kids too, one right…

Superstylin’
This weekend, as well as being the occasion of a very fun house party at my place and the opening of the World Cup, was also the debut performance of the new student troupe I’m in, Nomaditude. Since the troupe and the performance and the rehearsals and the costumes and everything came together really really…

Let Down, Let Go
I don’t even know why I’m not asleep right now considering I’ve had a total of twelve hours out of the past seventy-two. This afternoon I did the thing where I clutched my aching back and said oooff, I’m not twenty-one anymore, but of course, even when I was twenty-one I still loved sleep more…

Already In June
I got home yesterday afternoon from Sharon’s house, who was helping me with makeup and costumes for Saturday’s performance, and saw that Ian and Katie had come over for dinner and discussion. They lived in the cloud room long before the cloud room became the cloud room, and when I leave, they’re going to move…
