Too much underwear! Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. So I’m packing for my CHI trip and I have realized that I will have to pack an inordinate amount of underwear. It’s crazy, but not completely my fault. See, while in Portland I’ll continue to run, which means that I’ll be wearing multiple pairs of underwear in…

IMG_4508 Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Remember when I wrote about the beautiful sound of all those birds tweeting? Well, those tweeters have been reminding me of the downside. 2 days in a row I’ve come to my car only to find that birds have pooed all over it. What’s up with that? Come on birds,…

IMG_4507 Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. This is me, Josh, as of yesterday afternoon. I must add that this is not how I normally look. Well, from the nose up, I have no excuses ;-), but everything below is just a mess. My cheeks are huge HuGe HUGE! I’ve been applying ice as necessary, and it…

IMG_4506 Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. So my wisdom teeth were removed this morning. I was a bit nervous beforehand, because the oral surgeon had never met me, and he didn’t want my x-rays before I came in this morning. In the end, the surgery only took 30 minutes or so to remove 3 teeth. Really…

This was a fantastic weekend. Nothing about it was extremely extreme, but overall it was just a Zenful experience…if you know what I mean. Yesterday I wrote most of a paper and then watched 1984…which is a pretty strange movie. I’ve tried to read the book damn near a million times, but never get past…

I just woke up to a fantastic sound. Directly outside my window there must be 10-20 birds chirping away, chit chatting with one another, just catching up on times past. Now for many of you out there, hearing birds tweet is probably not a momentous event. In normal circumstances, I would say the same thing,…

selleck Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Went to Caveat Emptor with A this afternoon. Caveat Emptor is a local used book store, the name latin for something like “the buyer is to decide the worth of an object they are to buy” (gotta love a healthy vocabulary). This place was total information overload…books all over the…

IMG_4480 Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Apple Powerbook. That’s right, I’ve made the switch. I’m writing my first blog entry from the new machine. It’s always exciting to get a new computer, but this has been especially interesting because I’ve had to learn a whole new operating system, which hasn’t been as much of a chore…

Blog Reader Location Map Originally uploaded by josh.ev9. Just checked my Blog site’s statistics and noticed that my readership on the West Coast has become the most popular readership group! Up to now, the Eastern Time Zone (where I am currently located) was the leader. I’m not too sure how this has happened, but it’s…

Worked out today, but running was not part of the equation. It’s nice to know that I’ve trained my body enough to feel like running is definitely part of the routine, and when I don’t do it I feel bad. Today was an absolutely beautiful day. Perfect running weather. It was a little windy, which…
