#WASnow

By serene | Published: January 12, 2011

The universe gifted me with a blanket of still and quiet and fat flakes floating from above, soothing my rattled nerves. Seattle came to a halt, and I took the hint. I slowed down, appreciated the moment, and crawled within myself. How subtly, yet dramatically, the scenes change; the environment in constant renewal and dynamic [...]

Boner List, August Edition

By serene | Published: August 12, 2010

1.  Project Runway, season 8. Why, oh why, does this hot mess of a show draw me in every season? Historically, I swear and curse and facepalm my way through a season to declare that I WILL NEVER WASTE MY TIME AGAIN. And then months pass without Tim Gunn or Santino Rice wannabes (NO ONE [...]

Pride!

By serene | Published: June 28, 2010

Only my queer community could convince me to set an alarm on a day off.  But, I did, and I marched myself and my camera downtown to watch the Pride Parade and followed it to Seattle Center to party with my people. And I don’t mean ‘my people’ in some co-optive and evil way. I [...]

Rock out with your caucus out

By serene | Published: February 9, 2008

For the first time I participated in a caucus today. Washington ran things a little different than other states. Each party, divided by precinct, got together and affiliated themselves in one of three camps: Obama, Clinton, or undecided. The ratio of votes determined how our designated delegates would represent our area. My precinct, 43-2549, had [...]

Hate.

By serene | Published: February 2, 2008

[A quick preface for non-Seattleites: my neighborhood, Capitol Hill, is like if Nob Hill in Albuquerque had dirty bathroom sex with the Castro in San Francisco and had a baby will a hilly exterior. To sum, I've got lovely people to watch from all colors and sexualities and it makes me so happy. Also, I [...]

How excited am I?

By serene | Published: October 8, 2007

Wednesday cannot come soon enough. Bring on the sunburn, the hangovers, and the sand in uncomfortable places!  Yeah, it’s been LOVELY.

Positive note

By serene | Published: September 24, 2007

Decibel Festival, oh how I heart thee. You swooped in to rescue me from a weekend of hunkering down, preserving my energy for the tough times to come. Sure, that would’ve been healthy, but why hibernate for winter already when there is music to be heard and dancing to be done? If you were a [...]

Two-peat!

By serene | Published: July 15, 2007

I was chosen as photo of the day again by Seattlest. Either the pool slowed down or that Nikon d80 I borrowed to take the photo has some magic voodoo powers. *rolls dice* The d80 walks away victoriously.

Self-congratulatory wank fest

By serene | Published: July 14, 2007

One of my photos in the Seattlest flickr pool was chosen as photo of the day. Whee! They didn’t even do me dirty like the Bostonist did to my friend Kevin. That sure is nice of them. Now how’s that for a leisurely Saturday wank fest?

Scientific Dstrction

By serene | Published: June 29, 2007

What felt like eons ago, but was really only April of 2006, I made a mix. A mix for bloggers. Okay, it was a mix for comic bloggers. I brought my A game because if there are two things most nerds are good at, it’s knowing what comics to read and the ability to recite obscure musicians back catalogs.
