Future Primitive Again

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

About a week of skateboarding and this is what I have learned (again): Don't over tighten your wheels. Tighter wheels means harder pushing, harder pushing leads to a sore ankle. Wheels need a little bit of play on the truck. Enough to hear a light 'clack'  when moved back and forth ...

Rejoice! We are at the halfway point (repeat, infinity)

It's Wednesday. "Hump Day" - which is I wish was more literal. Real Estate Listings: I'll Fly Away, Alison Krauss & Gillian Welch I Ain't Got Nothin' But Time, Hank Williams Willie the Weeper, Louis Armstrong Paris 2004, Peter Bjorn and John I Feel So Good, Richard Thompson Thank You Mario But Our Princess Is In Another ...

Big fun

Experimenting with film cameras as of late - mostly 35mm. I've been using a Polaroid 210, Minolta x-700 and the school's Pentax. Also picked up a bunch of expired bulk film which of course needs a bulk film loader, happily purchased for $5 on eBay. The Minolta (50mm lens) is ...

I have another duty, a higher duty to peform…

Felt so bad cutting down our Cherry Blossom tree today. A frickin' crime against nature. It caught some sort of blight last spring and it wasted away. Dead all the way through. The bark falling off. We should have called a naturalist or my dad. I'm of the opinion that ...

My! This coffee is lovely. Yes, this is very lovely…

The Coonhound (nervous!) woke me up early this morning because of a passing thunderstorm. He kept ramming the gate with his head and of course, it eventually woke me up. Coonhound is unpredictable (he's a bit of an ass!) so we keep him downstairs at night in case Rhen decides ...

The start of an early morning

Monday, April 20th, 2009

I think it is ridiculously good to wake up to the lyric "young youth, yo rockin' the gold tooth" and then all of my thoughts blow in like a freight train rushing to a stop. And Greg he writes letters and burns his CDs: Af Samme Stof Som Stof, Under Byen Some Beautiful ...

The coffee is alright

Haha. I decided to delay waking this morning by a whole 20 minutes! Whew - it's still dark out. I was worried it would be light out when I woke up and all my shirt collars would turn white. An ugly administrative white. C_ and Rhen are still sleeping and the ...

My inevitable downward spiral with Girl Talk

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

It's not even 6 AM I have Girl Talk's bootleg album, "Girl Talk Murders Seattle" playing on my laptop (yes, I have moved to the live bootleg stage of this musical connection - IT'S SERIOUS). I simply just can't wait to put it all on and sit there with my ...
