Sometimes I do more than just lurk, I swear!

I'm back in Portlandia for the summertime, yet again, and working at a plant nursery...yet again. But this one is about ten times bigger and I spend my eight hours watering and trying not to think of the environmental consequences of hydrating vanity crops. It pays a little less than last year, but I don't have to deal with the crazies from First Addition AND I get free fruit. Best perk ever.

Also, I have rediscovered Russia, and am alternating between The Shaman's Coat: A Native History of Siberia, The Reindeer People: Living with Animals and Spirits in Siberia and Russian folklore. I figure Siberia is the only place colder and lonelier than me without my partner. Even better, I have discovered Eastern European women's vocal music. So far, Kitka has been the most accessible ensemble, and I highly recommend them.

My current project:

Find whoever it is who scratches up the CDs at the library and END THEM.
