For the last week, we've been on vacation in Indiana. So most time has been spent relaxing as opposed to Tweet-punking or Facebookery, but there are a few things that have seen updates, if you're looking for something to do.

Flickr - Photos and one short film of a child impersonating a werewolf.

Formspring - All questions submitted to date have been answered. (Whether the site's instability will allow further use is unknown.)

YouTube - I favorited one whole video this last week. It's hilarious. But maybe I've favorited some other stuff you haven't seen yet.

Anyway. I have it on good authority that we might be heading out to Amish country today after returning some videos (Big Fan - pretty good! / 9 - not terribly good / Inglourious Basterds - pretty good!) so if anyone needs a giant wooden jam paddle or something, let me know via telepathy.

For those interested, there are now photos of our recent week-long trip to the East Coast, preserved on Flickr, with some story-telling and commentary. Pop on over there to see some of what we saw.

We're back on the left coast and glad to be somewhere not humid, that is for sure. We have pictures, sure, but they'll need to be unpacked along with everything else.

Much thanks is due to Sally & Ace, for keeping the cats alive so that they can look at us like they've never met us upon our return. (They have since returned to their usual level of aloofness, punctuated with occasional visits.) Thanks as well to Mark & Mariaelena in DC for putting us up for a few days and feeding us amazing food, as well as the Warden for both a great lunch suggestion and a personal intro to the museum he's working at.

I would thank my parents as well for hosting, but they don't read this thing.

So yeah! Lots of driving, trains and flying in the last week, but we're back home and getting comfortable again. And I have a lot of new music to sift through. Hooray for the sneakernet. More updates soon, in all likelihood.

Man, we can't leave El Cerrito for a minute, can we? We're visiting my parents in Pennsylvania, and of course a few hours after we leave an earthquake hits, centered in our town. It's not even an earthquake that affects the whole bay... this one may have been under our apartment. Who knows.

We're out in a rural town west of Philadelphia and my parents have warned Amanda and I that if we walk under the pine trees, we might pick up ticks. So there's that. I'm looking forward to poking my head into the attic and seeing if I can find some childhood comics.

Very short field recording of the office today, almost nobody here. Distant bustling and my own mouse clicking.

This is why I wear headphones and listen to music all day.
