I went to see Sonic Youth perform at the Paramount in Seattle in 1995. I had only listened to them for a short while before, but was definitely excited about seeing them and the other bands: the Amps (Kim Deal’s side-side-project) and Bikini Kill (the riot grrrl act, fronted by Kathleen Hanna who later went [...]
This past month has seen a whirlwind tour of various pieces of fantasy fiction. I’m currently taking a fantasy/sci-fi English class online to complete my last credit requirement for graduating from the University of Washington.

You’re all beautiful, every one of you.
As I reflect on what to write to elicit as many well-wishers and birthday-responders as possible, I’m not so excited about receiving wishes of wellness and birthday responses as I was, say, 15 years ago.
