I’m in Boston! Ion+Pammy. Tried Rent the Runway for the first time-it’s a neat service, and very easy to use. Ended up not wearing the dress I chose because it was rather more bootylicious than I wanted. Yesterday, we biked along the esplanade and gazed upon the salt and pepper bridge. Made a pilgrimage to… Continue reading Boston

lots of new things
Exciting times! Double Union is thriving! Teacups, tables, books organized by category, drawers for power tools, beginnings of a soldering station, a/v setup, warm, welcoming, inclusive community–it’s like some kind of dream come true. We’ve grown so fast that we’re pausing applications for a little while to get everyone ramped up. If you want to… Continue reading lots of new things
songs that dented my brain this year
maiki’s post on musical influence made me think about what tracks made a dent in my brain this year, too. I posted a big comment that ended up being more for me than for him, so here it is on my own blaugh, plus some more. I think that most of these songs actually aren’t… Continue reading songs that dented my brain this year
oh, the places i’ve been
I went to Mexico. I started a new job. I have still been to every Blizzcon there has ever been–seven since 2005. The statues felt like old friends. Hearthstone, WCS finals, and blink 182. I went to Big Sur.
silent frisco at ocean beach 9/29/13
Have you been to a silent disco? I highly, highly recommend it. It’s surreal when you take off your headphones and see everyone jamming out to the sound of silence, or to waves crashing. Here’s a neat writeup of the concept (and its history, and a bit about how he got there) by one of… Continue reading silent frisco at ocean beach 9/29/13
I am eating Nutella by the spoonful.
Home!
I’m home! I’m very very very happy to be back =D My mom and brother drove me back to my sf apartment from the airport. I’m super grateful, since I brought home a bunch of stuff (including a very Dutch bag for my bicycle from Hema!), and my bags were heavy. Stroopwafels have been a… Continue reading Home!
crunch time
Ally and I ate a lot of falafel on Leidseplein last night at this awesome salad bar, then barhopped all night. I really love this area just south of Leidseplein. And it was an accident–we had found a cheap Best Western here. I’m pretty behind on blogging! The livenation.nl website didn’t take american credit cards,… Continue reading crunch time

This library is beautiful
I had a totally uneventful flight (hooray!). I watched Life of Pi (Ang Lee! Also I loved the book when I devoured it, years ago, wrapped in bed and wracked with doubt, adrift in my own sea of turmoil) and then, immediately, Les Mis, which is such a stupid story I could barely stand it.… Continue reading This library is beautiful
