Dyslexic dog rescue

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Sun, 05 Apr 2009 12:25:45 -0700

Because of shitty roommate problems, I may suddenly be moving out of my house in Olympia by the end of the month and move to Portland sooner than expected, when I get back from Brazil. I still need to take summer classes, though, so I'm looking f...

Return from Indochina

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 15:30:27 -0700

A few days ago I returned from a family vacation in Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. This is not going to be the post that goes into detail about it, because I still have 600 pictures to go through. But I will talk about being back. After being...

Mostly Travels

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 13:34:14 -0800

I must make an entry. For at least the past month I've come here at least once a week and started to type up something, only to eventually lose interest and discard it. This time I hope to post it before I lose interest (the coffee should help),...

Art, I have missed thee. Except for writing.

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 01:06:10 -0800

Due to the independent contract I'd been working out since last summer for this quarter suddenly falling through and me not becoming aware of it until after registration for Winter Quarter, I am an evening and weekend art student this quarter (+ A...

Back from South Africa! (WARNING: FRICKIN LONG and PICTURE-HEAVY)

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 14:37:15 -0800

For those that don't know, I'm back from South Africa. I actually got back last Tuesday evening, but I've since been re-settling and doing shit, such as finding my cat, recovering from jet lag, uploading all 2938579127349283 pictures I took while...

South Africa pre-departure

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 01:50:35 -0700

Well. My shit's packed. I'm leaving in about 9.5 hours. I'm excited and can't sleep, despite being tired. That's okay. On the flights over, I'll hopefully be tired enough to sleep most of the time, so I can ignore how cramped and stiff my kne...

Newport! and other stuff.

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:01:12 -0700

Nik and I rented a yurt near Newport Beach (Oregon) for a couple nights and had a lovely time. The weather was gorgeous the whole time we were there, and the area was fairly entertaining as far as Pacific Northwest beach towns go. The first ev...

Life is good

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 15:11:21 -0700

At least for the summer, and/or until my paycheck runs out. One of my roommates moved out last month, and she had the master bed/bath, so I snatched it up, because rent was considerably inexpensive for the space. And holy shit, what a space. Whe...

My week as a carnie

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 13:36:09 -0700

Was an interesting experience. They were hiring basically anyone on the spot, so needless to say, I got a job. Fortunately, I got one as a ticket seller, rather than someone running the games, rides, or concessions. Training took 45 minutes, bec...

Job searching sucks (assuming you didn't know)

nobody@vox.com(Alice) — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 13:11:28 -0700

I haven't yet found a job for the summer. Although, I haven't been trying super-hard until recently because I've been back and forth from Vancouver, unsure of when I'd actually be in town for an interview or to start work. The Lakefair is this w...
