Yesterday I came home to find the yard a mess. Roofers had taken over my building with no warning from my landlord. We had windows open, which the mess easily travelled through. I don't even want to think about what a mess the attic probably is. The door from the kitchen to the attic was open, meaning every kitchen surface has to be cleaned. Our bed got a fine layer of black tar dust. The cats, loving the novelty of all this, are now filthy. We made a "first pass" of cleaning it all up last night but there's still lots to do. Just what I needed!

Definitely click "View In High Quality" - big difference. That's me with the poi; a lovely lady named Corbett follows with a kickass hoop set.

Looptopia was great last night. I wound up being kind of ghettoized the whole time with my little crew - didn't get to see or do a whole lot of different things but where quantity was wanting quality was top-notch. The weather cooperated unexpectedly and everybody worked together and the audience really loved us, especially the second set we did all together.

Also the May 2008 issue of the Monthly Aspectarian is out - Click for PDF. I contributed two articles, pp 59 and 61.

I like Hillary Clinton just fine, but I wish the race for the nomination would be over already and I kind of wish Obama would just win.

I need to escape politics and news for a while; I'm getting burned out on strife. Thinking about diving in to some Lacan. Any recommendations?

I guess it's bad that my prevailing thoughts after reading this are "Well I'm a lousy bowler too." and "GO BARACK!"

Someone recorded this performance I saw at Resonate 2.0, it was great! I was happy to find this video today. They're a great group. I love the song they do too: "Love Ride" by Huun Huur Tu (remixed)



I gotta say, the guy with the beard is an AMAZING bellydancer.
