• 02.17.09 New hobbies posted in Uncategorized

  I came to an interesting realization today: My two passions, lindy hop and bouldering, are relatively new hobbies in mainstream media. Both were emerging and gaining popularity just as I was in high school. Things that didn’t exist in my childhood like having a local climbing gym or a local dance scene (on certain levels the dance scene did exist but not as it does today) are something that would actually be accessible and cool to someone of age 16 today. I don’t doubt there were areas around the world that picked up on these cultures sooner than others but it makes me wonder about the future of my investment in both if they are so incredibly new. And if they are just a phase, they must be leading to bigger and better passions. But what could be better? I have no freaking clue!

• 02.13.09 Gearing up to move in posted in Renovation

  Life has been very fast paced and I’ve been swimming deep in renovation projects since the first week of January. I’ll begin floor installation this weekend and the plumbing was finished yesterday. Most of the tile work and messy projects are behind us, which means fun finishing stuff is coming my way. The plan is to move in on March 1st so don’t expect to hear much from me until after. I will, however, continue to take pictures as soon as I find my camera. It seems to have disappeared during my camping trip last weekend.
