I’m listening to CVRCHES’s version of “Do I Wanna Know?” from triple j’s Like A Version almost a decade ago. It’s one of my favorite covers of any song ever (Karnivool’s version of “Hey Now”, also from Like A Version, is up there, too), and is, in my opinion, infinitely better than the original. In… Continue reading blah blah blah it’s a post two days in a row

[optimized content title]
Tonight, I’ve been re-reading the QC archives (a webcomic that is 20+ years old that I’ve been following since probably 2006 or so, which feels weird to think about. (Like out of all the changes and phases I’ve gone through, reading a handful of webcomics is my longest-running near-daily habit.)), and it’s been hitting me… Continue reading [optimized content title]
hello, it’s me again
I’m still here in Portugal, and it’s been, quite frankly, a bit of a difficult week for me. I won’t get into all of it, but suffice to say that I’ve felt less capable than normal, mentally and emotionally. Also the weather these last few days has been absurdly windy, gusts up to 60mph! So… Continue reading hello, it’s me again
Week 1, a report, kind of
Hello everybody, thanks for coming to my blog. It’s 9:51AM here in sunny Luz, and I’m sitting in the shadiest spot in the living room of my dad’s vila because my face is increasingly sunburnt.
I hate wordpress
But I’m writing in it anyway. And if that’s not the ultimate metaphor for existing under capitalism, I quite frankly don’t know what is.

Seven Days Later
Okay, folks, so I live in Seattle now. Mostly. I’ll have an apartment starting on Friday, but I won’t spend a night in it until Sunday following a weekend-extraction mission for my stuff down in the Rose City. That aside, I somehow managed to find a reasonably (for the area) priced 1-bedroom literally across the… Continue reading Seven Days Later
8/11, T-8
I never seem to get these up until after midnight, which makes the date-based naming scheme a little awkward, but I think we can all live with it for the next week or so. Packing has begun in earnest. My apartment is currently a disaster with boxes strewn about like I’m some sort of cardboard… Continue reading 8/11, T-8
8/8, T-11
Okay, this is happening. It’s a little absurd to see it there in the title of the post, that in less than 11 days I’ll be in a new city, starting a new job. Everything is happening very fast.
So I’m moving to Seattle
Wednesday morning, I accepted a job offer in Seattle. Like the hiring process (first interview to offer in under 48 hours), my start date is accelerated as well: August 19th. This gives me essentially 10 days to get most of my stuff packed up and in a whole different city in a whole different state.
