oh hello, the hill [05 Jun 2009|07:35am]
so I'm hitting my mid twenties this weekend, and it's hitting me kind of hard.  not that I'm in a bad place for turning 24, I'm pretty happy about what I'm doing with myself, and I'm pretty close to where I thought I'd be, but at the same time...

jack and mikey and i are having a triple bbq birthday on saturday, so if anyone bay area-ish is interested in dinner and drinks and my probably crying about being old, please ping for details.

a door to building 40 [01 Apr 2009|12:49pm]


Not so much work and not so much my housing situation or health and a number of other things I could point to that are notably not ideal, but I'm increasingly really happy.  Maybe it's just the thought of this coming weekend at Camano.

Oh thank god for the weekend. [15 Mar 2009|12:09pm]

Yesterday a number of us drove down hw 1 to a goat farm to play with baby goats (pictured spooning), buy goat cheese, and celebrate pi day at the Pie Ranch.  Then Jack and I made delicious dinner and drank to much and drew pictures and now there's a stomach full of brunch and sunshine and plans to go climbing, if i don't just fall asleep.

Science is Magic [28 Feb 2009|01:34pm]
Out at Presidio Middle School to help grade exams for the district level MathCounts competition, I wandered, seduced by pretty tagboard molecules dangling from the ceiling, into the science wing.


General Relativity:

Mr. G-Fizzle says... "time slows down when going at a very fast speed! Think of a clock in a spaceship for 3 frigin' hours and the clock only shows 15 have passed"

String Theory:

"WHEN YOU REACH FOR YOUR DRINK, YOU MAY HAVE MORE OPTIONS THAN YOU THINK  (in a parallel universe)."

love love love love love love love.

 Maybe fly to Seattle Wed-thurs?  Just Wednesday?  Just Friday?  I leave for Spain Saturday afternoon, and would really love to not spend any more of this week than necessary in an airplane.  Whine whine whine whine whine.

 Doing crazy things for cute boys has turned int ojust doing crazy things, boys be damned.  I've signed up for The Relay at the suggestion of this guy who kind of works sort of near me, which means a. I should really pick up my running and b. I should really stop experimenting with heels.  Also I think I'm going to go buy an iPod and maybe some bouncy music, or at least Abba gold.  

In other news, I feel effortless this week.

Happy Holidays from the Michels Slettvets [25 Dec 2008|03:10pm]


It's not like we'd ever have a Holiday card, but if we did, this might be a good choice for the picture. 
Lots of love and dreams of peace to you and yours.

Thinking I should probably get away from the sometime next year (Tokyo in April?), but I'd really like to visit Croatia or somesuch.  Just bought a ticket to ACM WSDM, so Barcelona in Febraury for reals, Trondheim the week before or after.   Leaving for London/Dublin for two weeks on Dec 26th, just got back from my first trip ever to NYC.   Back in Seattle on the 18th or the 21st, depending.

Point Reyes blue cheese [16 Nov 2008|03:00pm]
Despite the obvious seduction of the name, I've decided to give up on the Point Reyes blue cheese.  It's terrible and it's terrible with lots of different things.   Goodbye, sweet idealization.
