Eeeentroh...

I just greated a Wordpress blog for my zine stuff. You can find it here:  

Fragile Like a Rubber Ball

Some random things that make my socks roll up and down = Lapsang Souchong Black Tea, Black Uniball Vision Exact Micro pens, buttery soft t-shirts, the intersection of art and science, spatial reasoning, campfires, paradoxes, warm rain, core friends, essential acquaintances, amusing strangers, humorous and heartbreaking honesty, LEED architecture, mountain bike and hiking trails, old road bikes, high fives, gypsy folk music, Cirque Berzerk, burlesque, sex positive culture, Eddie Izzard, Thai coffee the way that I can only get it at Racy's, my red Swingline stapler, the downwardly mobile, and drag queens in limousines.
