In other news… 31 May, 2006

-For starters, I’d forgotten how much I hate moth season in Denver. It usually lasts all of June–the city is filled with miller moths, which are small enough to somehow get indoors over the course of the day but large enough to leave big greasy-looking splotches when you kill one. I missed last year’s, and [...]

My short attention span 29 May, 2006

It’ll be weird, undoubtedly. Needless to say, I see this as an opportunity to establish domesticity. Already [...]
