Slightly less than a year between posts here. I am still reading what you write, but obviously I'm not participating much... If you want to catch me being social online you'll probably have to track me down on Facebook *shock & horror*
However, if you want to read things that I have written with actual content then may I introduce you to my new blog? Just picked up the titledomain this evening, come on over, kick the tires and come for a ride.

Your Score: Dune Your world is 57% Sophisticated, 57% Unconventional, and 31% Intense!
You live in the worlds of Dune. Preferably the last two books in the series, in terms of timeline, as that's when things are genuinely intelligent, probable, and weird as hell... but not too intense. Not intense, I should add, because you're probably a Bene Gesserit or trained by one, which means you've learned to take anything and everything in stride. You can probably move faster than we can see, comprehend a complex obstacle and the potential solutions at a glance, and stop your heart with a thought. But you also probably won't ever fall in love, listen to music, or do anything else which will evoke too much of that inconvenient thing called emotion. But hey! To you it's probably worth it to be able to move any muscle in your body at will or traverse the collected memories of your ancestors.

My father's memorial service was held last night on a beautiful, cool Ohio summer evening outside the hangar that used to hold his airplane: right between a field of hay and a field of corn, his cattle and barns visible across the road. I think all in all we managed to do well by a man who hated funerals and preaching for the sake of preaching. I don't know how accurate the count was, but I am told that there were 250 people in attendance. Not a bad send-off for a rough-around-the-edges old farmer.
Much thanks to those who offered condolences, thoughts and prayers.

This past week was my one break in my year and a half of Korean classes. For months I had been planning on taking this week to retrieve the motorcycle I foolishly left in Omaha. Unfortunately, the month preceding my vacation was a distracted and listless one. I planned less thoroughly than befits a nearly 2000 mile unsupported ride on a motorcycle that had been sitting in a garage for a year and somewhat neglected prior to that. I was especially negligent in light of the fact that my vacation was also vacation for many other people who might otherwise have been available to work on my bike the first few days after I arrived in Omaha... but they were off traveling or otherwise celebrating Memorial Day. Fortunately I got away with it, the only way I was bitten by my lack of preparation was that I was unable to leave with enough time to take the scenic route; my bike was ready just in time for me to get back to California, but only by sticking almost entirely to I-80. Efficient... but not as enjoyable as my less direct route last fall. I had intended to record this whole journey in pictures, from the dusty bike in the garage to all the sights along the road. I didn't take nearly as many pictures as I meant to, for several reasons including the lack of extra time and the somewhat unspectacular scenery (relatively speaking... Colorado is a hard act to follow.) The fast route also means a lack of particularly interesting stories, so instead of the the illustrated story I told last time, ( here are a few pictures and just a bit of explanation ) |
