Car Free
September 26, 2002
[I am switching hosting this week and moving to Moveable Type. Chaos and ugliness and no updates till next week.] What would my life be like without a car? There was a story on NPR last night about Fannie Mae giving commuter credits to buyers who promised to use alternatives to driving to work every day. There was no enforcement...

Last Loves
September 25, 2002
It seems to me that you remain in love with the last person you were in love with until you fall in love the next time. I think there must be some set of mental or emotional cycles that are dedicated towards loving, and you cannot turn them off. Once you love someone, the cycles keep on loving that person...

Frequent Updates
September 23, 2002
An entry for every minute of the hour (for those who accuse me of not updating frequently enough): 7:12 JZ~ is absolutely one of my favourite guys in the entire universe, but all his suggested days for plans and/or kid plans are always on days when I am already booked. I end up looking like a flake who can never...

Hootbot
September 22, 2002
Yes! I did it! I fixed Hootbot! It was very touch and go for a while there. I had him apart, and then little pieces kept falling out, I knew not where from. And then things that I did not expect to be breakaway turned out to be, like when his feet unexpectedly came loose. Anyway, the primary problem turned...

Everything Anonymous
September 20, 2002
You hear stories about people going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings who do not really have alcohol problems but who attend in order to pick up dates, though the logic of this has always escaped me. I mean, why borrow problems? You know you are going to spend money on maintenance when you buy a house, but that doesn?t mean that...

Corn Mazes
September 14, 2002
[Part of my sloth has definitely been a lack of creative thought. Lots of interesting little experiences, very few moments of reflective consideration. ScottMcJ is taking on way too diary-y a face these last weeks.] That notwithstanding, I am here to record today that last weekend A~ and I drove up to Arlington and experienced the wacky amazingness of the...

Target Living
September 12, 2002
At lunch today, it suddenly occurred to me how easy and enjoyable it might be to living in a shopping mall. Or if not a mall, perhaps a Target or Bon Marche. A department store has everything you might wish for in terms of furniture and bathroom facilities (though, granted, showering would be a bit more difficult). I went back...

Camping
September 05, 2002
I am absolutely going to make time when I get back from the CC tonight to fold up the tent and vacuum. My house is a shambles. Everything that can be messy is. So I went out camping this last weekend. A couple of other girls and I were going to cycle out to the camp site, but at the...

Camping Thoughts
September 05, 2002
Miscellaneous moments while camping... 1) Camping without a lover is stupid. Night falls and it gets freezing, and you find yourself lying alone in your sleeping bag, staring up through the mesh window at the pretty stars, alone. You should definitely always be zipping two sleeping bags together and having someone to cuddle with to keep warm in the brisk...
