We're in a deep mode of summertime around here - you might say, the trenches. This city changes its perspective once all the students leave and things are more relaxed (if you're over 30), or celebratory (if you're staying behind for the summer). Our major alterations in the flow of normalcy are: Braden's living down in Tacoma for the summer; his friend & roommate come autumn, Koester, is living in his room and taking over his rent; H&I have to find & secure a place to live before our leases run out at the end of July; and finally, this beautiful weather is occupying every second of our attention.

Actually, yesterday we went apt-hunting and were (I think) very successful; we found a complex with a beautiful view of the bay, almost overwhelming - the apt is actually kinda small, but the side that looks out on the water has a huge window, giving the impression that this little corner of space opens up into the vastness of the ocean. Which I dig of course. Also, gas stove. I shudder with glee. We have to call back middle of next month to find out about availablilty, but I'm very excited about it.

Also yesterday I got my new cellphone in the mail, double-yay for that action. It's got a camera. Heh. I mean, ahh, moo-hoo ha-ha.



What in sweet fuck is that, you might ask? Why, I shall tell you! They're novelty salt + pepper shakers my Mom picked up, I think at a garage sale. Also, I think they are fantasic. And hilarious.

It's been so long since I've posted, seems like tons of interesting things have happened... awesome weekend earlier this month in Bremerton... (oops, meant to write about that one, heh heh)... went down to Tacoma the week before Father's day to see Dadsies, and ended up having an awesome conversation with Spiderma~ i mean Paul Shreck about bushido (though he stabbed his pants with Braden's sword - well, we all had more than a bushel of Tequila, I can tell you). Also saw Braden & Erin more or less make peace, before she headed off to Fiji to be a smeakin' tour guide for the summer. Why I oughta'. Some people, I tell you. Well, for whatever complicated stuff happened twixt her & B in the past, I hope she has a good time there. Which she will, cause she's in freakin FIJI. ::tears, thumbsucking::
