7:06 pm - Birthday
Well, that makes 22. I wish I could say I really made use of 21... ah well.

Since I forgot to mention it then, I'll note that since August 31, I'm the Associate Chair of the Senate District 40 DFL, and a member of the DFL State Central Committee. Which is especially nice, as the area of SD40 includes both the part of Bloomington where I lived until a couple years ago, as well as the part of Burnsville where I live now.

I'll write more later, maybe.

11:45 pm - Jazz Fest
Today was the "Arts & All That Jazz Festival" here. The Nicollet Commons Park where it is is a really, really nice venue. It was just built last year (shortly after I moved here). Same place where MoveOn had a candlelight vigil in support of Cindy Sheehan earlier this week, too- at least today it was really nice weather and didn't rain... I was helping with a section that benefits the Community Action Council (a local nonprofit, does a lot of good work), mostly packing up everything at the end. Life lesson, folks: art can be heavy and large, and artists may have small cars. Tetris ensues. Anyway, good music there... Nick Colionne was the headliner, did a great set.

So now I'm tired and sore from (A) lifting and carrying stuff for artists and (B) sitting on the ground for a couple hours listening to music. Yet of course, as always, I can't sleep. Hence the puttering about on the net.

Maybe I'll have something more interesting to say tomorrow...

current music: Squeak E. Clean feat. Karen O - Hello Tomorrow (original)

12:48 am - Update Time
Been a long time since I've posted anything here - 16 months, it would seem. Kind of embarrassing, really. But it's about time I wrote some things down... I'll get around to it soonish.

Recap: I did not go to Idaho. I became involved with Democratic Party politics, virtually every campaign that was happening, and many similarly-aligned organizations.

None of the 6 or so candidates I volunteered for won their races. In all of 2004 and 2005, I've had paying employment for all of 3 months out of that time (Jan-Mar 2005).

Many, many other things occurred, few of them worth mentioning.

In other words, a whole hell of a lot happened, but very little changed.

So I guess I'm going to try some new approaches. Let's see if I get anywhere.

current music: Noir - Yuki Kajiura - Salva Nos II
