I’m out
Caloo Calay! I moved out today! I followed the Washington Tenants Union suggestions on move out and documented the condition of the place when I left. Sort of involved, but perhaps worth it. We photographed all the rooms with Kei and the Seattle Times in each shot. This was to prove it was clean on…

Getting things done
I am in the middle of David Allen’s Getting Things Done. I really like the book, straightforward and immediately applicable in it’s advice. I have “downloaded” all my to do’s onto my Hipster PDA. It has made the moving/cleaning/transition period much more manageable.

The deposit racket
I was up until midnight last night cleaning the apartment, and I still have miles to go. At least this is a timed activity, over by August 31. Otherwise I could be there for another weak detailing the apartment. This has become my personal odessey to discover whether deposits are truly a racket, and whether…

Finding Neverland
I was thinking that Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was a fluke for Johnny Depp. Finding Neverland confirms this. He doesn’t overact in this film. The soul of J.M. Barrie shines through, in a non-creepy, non-Willie Wonka sort of way. It almost seems like CCF was a poor satire of this story, which follows a…

Some recent photos

I’m going to do it this time…
Get out of debt. OK. I understand it’s forboten to talk about money in public, makes you seem petty, small minded, bourgeois. But I don’t care. I’m throwing down the gauntlet to the credit card companies and their usurous 20-30% rates. No longer shall they have control over my life. I’ve set a date of…
