Dusting off my keyboard…

Monday, October 13th, 2008

It’s been some time since I’ve posted to this blog…largely due to the fact that I have not embarked on any new travel experiences since returning home to Seattle over a year ago. But I’ve realized that there still may be something for me to write about here, even if it’s a long time before […]

Travel photos are here!

Monday, June 4th, 2007

FINALLY! My travel photos are now uploaded and viewable in the gallery. There are around 7000 of them, but they’re all organized by country and city/region for viewing convenience.

I know where the thing is, but where are the photos???

I’ve been uploading pictures from my trip for the last few days…it’s slow going and I still have quite a few to go. But check back in the next few days. I hope to have everything uploaded and viewable within the week.

200th Post: Back in Seattle

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

Have I really written 200 of these things? At any rate, I’m home! I guess this marks the end of my travel blogging for at least a while.  It feels great (and a little strange) to be back in a familiar city, and I’m excited to get back into a productive routine again. Thanks to […]

Final Arrangements

Tuesday, September 5th, 2006

Now’s the time when I’m taking care of last-minute business, making sure I’ve packed an even number of socks, etc. I have to cut back on the number of books I planned to take, but the list keeps growing. If anything, I am a creature that fears boredom above all else. That said, I would […]

Perils of the Australian Coast

Monday, September 4th, 2006

As you may have heard, Steve Irwin, known for his TV career as the famed Crocodile Hunter, met his maker at the hands of a sting ray when filming an underwater documentary off the northern coast of Australia. This is saddening, because I think he was one of the good guys. It also convinces me that […]

Planning and punting

Monday, September 4th, 2006

As my dad says, “you plan and plan and then you punt.” While I was kinda bummed about not taking off last Tuesday like I had hoped, it’s still been a frenetic experience to pack up my apartment and resolve travel minutiae. I had the best travel agent in the world (maybe an exaggeration, but […]

They always say you meet someone…

Sunday, September 3rd, 2006

They always say you meet someone right before you leave town for an extended trip. Today, I met a variety of ice cream that tasted like birthday cake. I’m not sure it beats my all-time favorite flavor (vanilla bean), but it was pretty rad. It’s funny how the anticipation of departure seems to heighten your […]

Packing Light Reading

Friday, September 1st, 2006

I’m trying to decide what books to take with me, and I’m trying to make my enormous backpack as light as possible on the front end of the trip. So far, I’m considering the following:

All the King’s Men, by Robert Penn Warren. This is one of my favorite books. It has just enough historical context […]

Last weekend in Seattle

Friday, September 1st, 2006

So I’m going into my last weekend in Seattle for a long time. For the last several years, the weekend was the time when I would table homework and projects to enjoy myself and try to forget that I was a law student. If you’ve read blogs by other law students, you’re probably familiar with […]
