lately
Been really busy lately, to be expected. School’s over, I only work two days a week, but somehow I manage to have so much on my plate.
There’s no doubt I’m a core member of the Portland Peak Oil group.
What I really like about the group so far is how action-oriented it is. There are a handful of us that do all the organizing work and I’m doing that (getting the word out, scheduling meetings, posting fliers, etc.) plus I’m the main web designer. By this Wednesday, I hope to have www.portlandpeakoil.org up and running in full form. I’m pretty pleased with my design so far and it’s tableless CSS just like this site.
Besides PPO activities, I’ve had my hands full with Jeremy being out of town for two weeks. He’s off at an Oracle training in Bushkill, PA (heh). See, we have a really split-down-the-middle chores arrangement and with him gone, I have to do all of his chores - things I cannot stand. We don’t have a dishwasher, well, Jeremy’s the dishwasher. I loathe doing dishes; it’s the most Sisyphean task, isn’t it? Wash one sink full and two days later they’ve piled up again. It’s never-ending. I also have to spend about 30 minutes each night watering the fruit trees and berry bushes in the front and back yards. And feed and water the dogs. I just realized I much prefer organizing chores to caretaking chores.
Anyway, tonight, I’m fleshing out my Tribe.net profile and listening to great Saturday night music (”Charlotte Sometimes” by the Cure, “Reverie” by cranes, “Clockface” by Siouxsie). I’ve seriously been into Tribe.net lately. I signed up over two years ago and it had little going for it then. Now it’s blossomed into this incredible community and networking site and using it, I feel so much more tapped into both fellow spiritual seekers and the Portland music scene alike. Heh. I mean, jeez, I’ve joined about 125 tribes already. Check my profile and befriend me.

don’t let Tribe suck you away from your blog like it did me.
