  • Last Day in Nicaragua

    Today is our last day in Nicaragua and I have seen much. Sleeping on a mat on the floor in the orphan´s school, underneath the chalkboard where each night I pick the bugs out of my bed. Listening to the stories of men who participated in the revolution and fallout during the 80´s here. Sitting…

  • Nicaragua

    I told myself in May, when I first applied for this trip, I’d blog about it if I were accepted. When I was accepted in August, I told myself I wouldn’t mention anything until I got the time off work. When I got the time off work, I said I’d write about it once the…

  • Spanish Mass

    Tonight at church, half the service was celebrated in Spanish. (Ironic considering that yesterday I went to a wedding that was half in Vietnamese.) That aside, it really was a beautiful mass. Padre nuestro, que estàs en el cielo. Santificado sea tu nombre Venga tu reino Hàgase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el…

  • Untitled #19

    Notes about this week plus some random exclamations: I learned how to cook eggplant. Holler. Ryan and I had dinner at Judy Fu’s Snappy Dragon last night. Okay, so I’ll finally admit I don’t see what’s so special about it (not to say it’s bad, because it’s not). But I just can’t get over the…

  • Happy Halloween

    Happy Halloween, everyone! Will post tomorrow.

  • Chat with Elijah

    I’m at my parents house right now, teaching Elijah (who’s now four-years old) how to play Bubsy II on Super Nintendo. He spent three minutes pushing B, yelling “Boing! Boing!” as he watched his character jump. Next up, we’re gonna go over how to move left and right. It’s kinda funny cause this is the…

  • Failed Charity

    I was walking home from work this afternoon, feeling rather dispirited, when I saw a woman walking towards me. I knew what she was going to ask before she came near, and given my mood at the time, I had an answer ready.

  • Wide-Eyed and Awake

    Maybe it was the orange-glazed cinnamon rolls this morning, but something today kept me wide awake all day. Not even a yawn at work this morning. I’ve just been running on high this Monday, but not in the hyperactive-way. Have just been wide awake in everything I’ve done, full of drive, focus, and all that…

  • Last Few Days in NY

    It feels good to be back in Seattle. The five-day-trip in NYC was a pretty awesome experience, but I can’t say it was not nice to have Ryan waiting for me outside at the airport and to be back home in the Emerald City. I had flown into Newark around 2:30AM Wednesday night, by the…

  • The Week! The Week!

    (I think the exclamation marks in my title are extraneous, but I sorta like it.) Mm it’s been an eventful week. Currently home at my parent’s house where my Mom made steaks and my Dad made his usual bananas foster. Yum. Funny I am always so super munchie when I’m here. This is only the…
