The stuff about me and my life. The “diary” side of blogging.
Oh, hey, look at that — it’s after midnight!
Happy 4th of July, everyone.
I’m planning on hitting the fireworks display over Lake Union from Gasworks Park tonight.
This post was going to be a lot longer, and a lot more bitter, but then I erased it all. Just go out, have fun, celebrate the fact that we’re all still around, and spare a moment for those who aren’t.
Can you name more than a dozen URLs by heart?
Let’s see —
- Unusual Relaxation Locations (any shady building on Spenard)
- Uriel Remebers Lilith (now that’s an obscure reference…)
- Unborn Rhesus Livers (eeew…I got ill dissecting a tapeworm)
- Unfortunately, Rhett Limps (and drops Scarlett down the staircase)
- Urban Relocation Lands (we ran out of reservation space)
- Unlikely Rambo Lines (“Don’t you guys ever read Tolstoy?”)
- Utah’s Radical Luddites (electricity…what a concept!)
- Untie Ricky, Lucy! (the scenes Desi wouldn’t let get out)
- Ukranian Reuseable Leeches (very popular in the Dark Ages)
- Uncomfortable Rubber Lederhosen (trust me)
- Uncle Ralph’s Laundry (needs to be done more often)
- Uniquely Rotund Lemmings (fool things just rolled right off that cliff)

I just looked at the label on the soda machine here and could have sworn that rather than Cherry Coke, it read Chewey Coke.
Eeeeeewwwww.
Went out to the Vogue last night for an old-school techno night. Only there for a bit (I’m not at my most energetic on Tuesday nights), but much fun. Any night that I get to hear Psychic TV’s ‘I C Water’, Underworld’s ‘Dirty Epic’, and Die Warzau’s ‘All Good Girls’ is a good one for me. :)
Ogre (the doorman for the Vogue, who Chad introduced me to shortly after I got to Seattle) has been doing Tuesday night shindigs for a couple months now, with different themes each week. I’m going to have to start hitting them a bit more often for some mid-week “get out of the damn apartment” evenings.
Next week is a ska night. :) Maybe he’ll play Mu 330’s ‘Stuff’. I’d be happy with that.
It’s a silly, stupid, overplayed song — but I’ve gotta admit, I still enjoy it, and I’d love to hear The Rednex ‘Cotton-Eye Joe’ performed live, with a real band (banjo, fiddle, harmonica, and all).
Just a random thought for the day. ;)
Geeks are irritating [people], doesn’t make them bad. They are kinda like gay queens, complete with self-love and temper tantrums, except with a fetish for finickiness rather than young boys.

Had an absolute blast out and about today at the Pride Day festivities. Gorgeous weather for a parade day — partly cloudy, so it was alternating warm sun and shade to let us cool off — and all sorts of fun people to watch. Watched the parade along Broadway, then wandered around the festival area at Volunteer Park.
Lots of fun — tons of pictures can be found in the photo gallery. Enjoy!
It’s gorgeous outside. Sun, clear skies, temperatures in the high 70’s to low 80’s — and I have to go to work. Grumble. On the bright side, it should be a gorgeous day for the Pride Parade tomorrow! Expect lots of pictures from that sometime Sunday…
