Test drove a civic

16-May-09

I went and test drove a newish (’07) Honda Civic today. Unfortunately it was not nearly as fun to drive as my STOLEN 98 Civic… so it may be that my very STOLEN Civic will be the last Civic I ever own. *sigh*
Okay… I’m open to suggestions again. I want a car [...]

Boo car theft.

14-May-09

So, very close to exactly 2 years ago, I had my first brush with scary crime about 2 weeks into my new life in the Bay Area. My car got broken into and my stereo was stolen. And, within about a week, someone came to my apartment pretending to be a friendly neighbor [...]

corvallis mid-air meteor burst?

28-Jan-06

Last night (this morning?) around 3:30am, I was woken up by this insane thunder-like noise. Only it didn’t sound like thunder at all… it sounded like an explosion. It lasted long enough to have me frozen to my bed, looking around. I had vague dreamy memories of a bright flash and the sense [...]

13-Sep-01

My Chemistry teacher at Waiakea used to occasionally lecture about life and society. I think it was in order to instill a certain amount of pride in our existence… an odd practice for a chemistry teacher I know… but in my opinion he was very good at it. Good at what he did. [...]

Graduation – “Vikings nothing!!”

04-Jun-01

It’s OVER!
And it was something I’ll never forget… Especially the long dramatic heartfelt goodbye to our valedictorian. I was worried I’d not see him in the chaos that followed graduation… I looked for him… but I couldn’t find him. I looked for the biggest mass of swirling bodies, figuring that he’d be at [...]

By starlight, I’ll miss you.

01-Jun-01

One thing that I know for sure though is that I will never forget this time in my life. Never. The images of pre-graduation days are already burned into my mind… like snapshots… the impressions are all there. I’ve been just drinking it all in… trying to capture it all… absorbing the air [...]
