inbetween seasons I get seasonal manic disorder

I walk out from work holding a cup of pumpkin spice latte in one hand, and smell the crisp air at 8pm. The day was sunny and around 70 degrees, like the beginning of June. I'm feeling a bit indifferent about the seasons starting to change because the cold air made me crave my scarves, and a new pair of boots.

However, the sunny day made me realize I didn't get to jump in tide pools at Kalaloch Beach like I used to do when I was little, except I was going to bring a book of identifying Pacific Northwest's sea creatures.

It's absolutely not a good feeling when you feel lost even when you are the kind of person who knows what they want from the beginning, and I want one day of summer back so I can jump in tide pools.

Excerpts from The Atheist's Bible

"I believe in God, only I call it Nature." -Frank Lloyd Wright

"If I had to choose a religion I think I should become a worshiper of the sun. The sun gives to all things life and fertility. Is is the true God of the earth." -Napoleon Bonaparte

Bumbershoot 2010: Celebrating 40 years of music and arts! Except, I celebrated without Bob Dylan...

...and The Decemberists. My big sister, Reney, and I bought economy tickets because the main stage tickets were sold out. It was to be expected though, Bob Dylan is a legend. We were just stupid to think we could buy the tickets on the day of the show.

However, we ran around and met up with Amber, and still got our money's worth! We still saw a lot of good live music (and a couple of questionable ones), and saw some short indie films as well.
This providence, and their stage.

I have crossed off Grand Teton, and Glacier National Park.

Mount Rainier National Park, Washington

Yellowstone National Park at Yellowstone, WY

Grand Teton National Park at Moran, Wyoming

Jenny Lake, the only good thing about Grand Teton (in my opinion). It was windy,
a bit foggy, but the water was SO clean.
