Anyone who will be in the Portland area, and not going to FC, this would be a fun alternative. If you like classical music, Ursula Le Guin, and Coraline (Michele Mariana will be performing a piece): http://www.thirdangle.org/hearing_voices_2010.htm
Hearing Voices
With special guest Ursula K. Le Guin
Words and music combine in stories that delight, taking us on magical journeys into troll-infested woods, to planets where mechanical beings communicate in musical tones, to Italo Calvino’s magically realist Italy, or even back to George Orwell’s “1984,” which is retold as a romantic comedy. We premiere “Gulliver in FaReMiDo” by Oregon Symphony resident conductor Gregory Vajda, “Serpentine Variations: The Serpent King” by Robert Kyr, and “Greetings from 1984” by Jon Deak. Special guest Ursula K. Le Guin narrates her “A Ride on the Red Mare’s Back” accompanied by Bryan Johanson’s lovely score.

School break time! I'm excited about next term! But I'm always excited about next term. So it's predictable that I'll be saying that I'm excited about Spring Term while in the middle of waiting for Winter Term to end, the one I used to say I was excited about.
I'm almost finished with my second book this vacation. I'm reading Stardust. I made brown rice pudding with apples and had it with ice cream and the kittens helped by trying to climb into the pressure cooker. Tomorrow I'm making a potato and spinach soup.
I played some UnReal World and I've yet to achieve a wife, so I'm stockpiling furs to use as gifts. I started my vacation with a guy named Yogurt. He drowned when I tried swimming him across a river. For no reason. I just thought I'd try to see if he could actually swim all the way across. He made it about halfway. My second character was named Thor. I got bored with him, so I tried to see how far he could cross a river. He only made it a few spaces from shore before he drowned as well. My current guy is named Stumpy. He's died a few times but I've been saving this one by copying his files to a safe place whenever I do something stupid, like the time I stepped into my bear trap.
I've some projects I need to do during my break. |

mood:  anxious

grades in.
A, A, A, A-, B. I surprise myself holy crap.
going a long way to check out a car today. I'm nervous as all fuckin hell. and tired, because I'm so anxious sleep didn't work well.
arararara I'm already almost ready to go.
Gonna work on pullin my stereo deck outta my metro once it gets a tiny bit lite. cos the car I'm going to check out has only cassette, I has no adaptor what so ever, and it's a long drive to be CD-less. I could handle it, but yknow. where's the fun if I can't rock the fuck out to my musics? There's a Car Toys nearby so it'd be easy to grab a wire harness and rock that shit before headin home.
tho I think I'm about out of blank CDs. and I need to do some BURNIN. |

My mom died one year ago today.
I went to the crooked tree where we spread her ashes today. I have also uploaded pictures of her.
My mom, in the '70s, with one of her boas.

I love you, Mom. |
