Đó là vô nghia

I just learned that I'm not a part of Generation Y, now I'm in the Millennial Generation. I guess it makes sense. I never really cared to be labeled a Y. However this comes from an article that I was reading about the emergence of Millennial voters and what will be their lasting impact on American politics. Pretty interesting stuff...

I've forgotten to mention to you all that we (*upon reading this again I'm not sure why I said "we" and not "I" but instead of editing it have chosen to just add this little bit of filler*) have a new address. To make it easier for everyone you can find me at www.desomnia.com now. Some guy already had desomniac.com. Not exactly sure why he has it. I might have to pressure him out of it...

I finally was able to wash my foot. The skin peeled off in large chunks that I considered keeping in order to make a life sized mold of my foot. Then I decided that was nasty...

I'm going to see Wolverine tonight. I loved the X-men movies, so I'm hoping this is just as good. I haven't been to a movie theater in a long time. I think that the last thing I saw was the Simpson's movie. Hopefully nothing has changed too drastically...

I really need to do more writing. I have this horrible habit of starting a project, getting really excited about it, and then letting it just fizzle out. I don't know why. I guess that I need to work more on my follow through. So since I never finish anything I'll throw out another excerpt. This is from the project that I was doing about the 7:

A young mother sits facing center
A book of Vietnamese characters lays open on her lap
As she tries to teach her child what they all mean.
“You need to teach them English!”
An elderly woman, who could be her aunt, yells
“They won’t go nowhere here without English!”
The child replies, “Đó là vô nghia”

I hope that I got my Vietnamese translation right. But if I didn't would you know the difference? I might post something else for you later. I ran across this story that I wrote like 10 years ago. Could be fun...

If you haven't checked out the recent post on indoorsprout.com you should. There is some great pics of the garden's progress...

I don't get it, but I guess I'm not supposed to

I have the best sister ever. You all should check out the layout that she did for indoorsprout. It looks great!...

After two weeks the rain has returned to Seattle. I didn't realize I missed it until it was back. My favorite seasons are early spring and late fall, which here in Seattle usually last 8 months but this year we've had to deal with the unfortunate episode that is winter...

Support out local economy, buy local...

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about a farm. I've decided that I should combine the two things that I want most in life: a farm and a library. I just need about 20 acres with a small hill. Something of an octagon with a circular building within it. With facilities to be completely sustainable: farm, dairy, brewery, granary, housing, livestock, etc. Maybe a stream for fishing, but I could always build a trout pond. Somewhere here in Western Washington. Anywhere else it just wouldn't be right, except maybe N Cali. Hopefully some day...

It all continues to collapse around us. If you are not frightened yet, you should be. And if you are frightened, know it will get better...

You won't notice till it's kissing you...

I started my first "website" today. It's for my new blog. You can find it here (www.indoorsprout.com). It's a good thing...

I'm really disappointed in the new Of Montreal album. There is a couple decent tracks, but overall I'm not a fan. Which is hard for me to say, because up until Skeletal Lamping I was probably the biggest Of Montreal fan in Seattle. I hope the next album is better. I've been listening to some of their old stuff, just to remind me of the good ol' days. I guess it's like looking at your 401k portfolio statements from 2007...

I have a couch on my porch. It's old and disgusting. No one would ever want it. I'm not sure what to do with it. We might try to compost it under the willow. Maybe it will just sit in the sideyard with the other nasty chair. Or if I get really motivated I might look for an old motorcycle engine and try to turn it into some kind of rocket ship. I think I could ride it to Mars...

New Blog!

Here is the link to the new blog I mentioned before... indoorsprout.blogspot.com ...I'm hoping to get an actual ".com" but that's the link for now...
