We shed what was left of our summer skins…

Mom’s vertigo is definitely back -and with a vengeance. Now it’s no longer posterior but horizontal (no, I have no idea what it means but it’s super icky) and she has been wicked sick all day. It’s awful, I feel pretty much helpless.

REUNITED

> After a summer-long hiatus, the bestie is BACK – in black (well, ginger, really) I love this girl and it doesn’t matter that summer is almost over and my Knight is halfway around the world because she is BACK. On a related note, the other bestie leaves in like three days and I’m beside [...]

Sunny with a high of 75

> It was a beautiful 88 today; and I enjoyed it for all of five minutes as I ran between final exams. Up til three working on a take home final, after not sleeping the night before, turned it in at 11 and had to stick around for a half hour long required lecture (even [...]

wha?

Apparently I am the least responsible person, ever. Second Monday night in a row without sleep; got home at 9:30 this morning. I won’t bore you with the details of my evening but I don’t even know what to do with myself right now. I am exhausted, totally brain dead, and confused as hell. I [...]

splish splash

I just have to say, I love living here – being less than ten minutes away from a dozen beautiful lakeside beaches is just unbeatable. I can’t believe summer is almost over… First final exam tomorrow – Buddhist Art in Japan (607-Present)

Senorita Flippy-Floppy

Rainbow season is slowing coming to an end… the sun is setting closer to 8 pm, it’s been hovering in the 60s all week and I have a sinking feeling that I’ll need to break out the cable knit sweaters pretty soon… sigh.

Well our Seattle Summer has returned – 60 degrees, slightly humid and overcast until about 3 this afternoon. Lovely. Anyway, after class headed over to Volunteer Park for Lena’s water fight birthday party. The weather pretty much sucked, but we still had a good time and I took the opportunity to snap some shots of [...]

It’s getting hot hot hot

and I thought yesterday was smogtastic… gorgeous pollution. And yes, that is really what my dashboard thermometer read at 1:43 pm this afternoon. It ended up being 103 in Seattle today, 102 on Mercer Island. Today was officially the hottest day in Seattle’s history – beating out the historical record by 8 degrees. I was [...]

smogtastic

Okay, first of all, I definitely went on a run this morning. Yes. I know. Laugh all you want. I got up at 5:45 am and went jogging. It wasn’t exactly “fun” but it wasn’t as awful as I remember either. We’ll see how this goes… Anyway, I guess one of the major aesthetic advantages [...]

highway to hell

Okay, yes, I see the trend towards post-titles/song lyrics. Evidently my creativity has a limit… oh well! so today was the first real day of our heat wave: 95 F in Seattle and on the Island. Sitting through class was…. miserable. Fortunately, my class on the third floor of the un-air conditioned Art bldg is [...]
