missed me?

« 9 March 2006 | 17:26 | Daily life | Emily | 2 Comments »

I’ve been working full time most of the past two months, stepping in for a co-worker who had to take a medical leave. It’s the first time in three years that I’ve worked 40 hours per week, plus I’ve been putting in about 20 hours per week into Portland Peak Oil. As you know, […]

Happy Buy Nothing Day, everyone…hope you bought nothing today. I know I wrote that I was back and all, but having my mom move out here is keeping me a lot busier than expected.

I’m back, after nearly two months. There’s a lot to tell, as expected.
The biggest personal news by far is that my mom is moving out to Portland from Fairfield, Iowa and is arriving later tonight at the airport. We’re both close and so this is very exciting. I’ve been wanting to get her out […]

The summer has whizzed by. Where I thought I’d be riding my bike a lot, reading, and generally taking it easy, instead I ended up becoming one the main organizers of the Portland Peak Oil group. It’s been a lot of fun and really my first experience working in a grassroots group from the […]



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 […]



Peak oil in two parts

Entry long time coming…
Part I:
President Bush has been briefed on the end of cheap oil… have you?
We will soon start seeing ads put out by Chevron for its new campaign: Will You Join Us. Rather than advertising some new “high-performing” gasoline, this campaign is a public admission of the end of cheap oil and a […]



cleansing and cycling

« 3 July 2005 | 23:16 | Daily life | Emily | 3 Comments »

I’m winding down day seven of a ten-day fruit and vegetable cleanse. This is my third time in ten years doing the cleanse and I usually notice a major metabolism boost, renewed energy and lightness after its duration. If anyone’s interested, I can e-mail you the details. It’s basically an almost all raw fruit and […]
