I’m sorry for lack of updates. In mid-August, my 3.5 month long period of unemployment ended and I started a new job working on the facilities management team of a museum. Since then, I’ve simply had no time to update because I’ve been working fairly long hours. However, I am now transitioning into a more [...]
This weekend, J. and I went to two shows. We saw Laudanum and a few other bands at the Oakland Metro on Friday night, and on Saturday we went to Worm Ouroboros at El Rio. Jesse cooked us a really lovely summertime meal:
