achewood’s “ray’s place” – my date with crystal – it’s so worth it… #
i’m back in chapel hill. i need to find a new place to live. “need” being underscored by the fact that my lease runs out on june 31. today i looked at what was described as an “efficiency” apartment on…
i feel how mena trott feels lately: “Do you know that sort of block you get when you haven’t posted in a while and you just can’t bring yourself to take the time and think about all the stuff you’ve…
don’t make any plans. do the things you need to do. friend calls you, wants something fun to do. suggest a hike at a local state park. call other friends. apply bug spray, suntan lotion. pick up food. pick up…

today i was trying to remember something. i remember it because as compared to recent housing/car frustrations, it provoked a rare bit of hope and happiness. and i remember trying to remember it and vicariously experiencing that little rush of…
i have been busy lately. but it’s a different kind of busy than usual. when i am usually busy, it means i am passionate about something i’m doing, i’m fired up about something new and daylight or going home or…
ooo. first i have to say, new blogger is very pretty. i had clearly been roughing it using blogger on mozilla. but now it’s just as good as what they had for IE. go blogger. secondly i have to say…
