Are the aesthetics of purity and moderation mutually exclusive?
I enjoy both. |

The last two times I've seen live music, I've fallen briefly in love with a violinist. Two is a coincidence, three is a trend, right? I need to find another group with a female violinist to see how deep I'm into this. |

I had a hell of a cool day. It started yesterday, when I had a sailing student with a pretty smile. It may not have been directed at me, but I pretended it was. I expected to see her today, and bought an extra ticket to the jazz concert I intended to see tonight, just in case. She wasn't around today, as her lesson was canceled due to a lack of wind. The wind picked up later in the afternoon, though, and I had a nice sail on a beautiful new wooden boat. I met a dude (which is a little like meeting an ugly chick) new to Seattle, who mentioned being interested in live music, so I gave my extra ticket to him. I expected the jazz to be on the dull, predictable side, but it turned out to be a great show. After the show, I stuck around and listened to the Cuban son act, and met a guy who told me that the genre and quality were typical of Sunday nights. I'm going back there.
When I got home, a couple of guys were speaking Brazilian Portuguese on the elevator. I wasn't sure it was Portuguese, but the green and yellow jersey one was wearing gave me enough confidence to throw a boa noite at them when they stepped off, to which the guy wearing the jersey reacted with a surprised smile.

I decided this evening that what I most desire in a woman is stubbornness and curiosity. How incompatible are those two qualities?
Afterward, I tried to decide whether I have those I meet that description myself -- stubborn and curious. I couldn't decide whether I'm stubborn. |

I won a boat race, today.
I signed up with the Renton Sailing Club. I do most of my sailing on Lake Union, which is a pretty little lake close to where I live. But, it's little. The Renton club is on Lake Washington, which is much bigger, and has bigger boats available. Plus, it's crazy cheap.
When I was young, I thought I would buy an airplane some day. But, boats are way less expensive, and maybe even more fun. This reminds me, I haven't really flown since I moved to Seattle. Wow. |

I realized today that I laugh regularly with my coworkers, which makes work way better than it would be.
When I got on the elevator at home tonight, an old (read middle-aged) couple got off, and the elevator smelled like sex. |

I remember being thirteen, and wanting very badly to fall in love. I did, of course, eventually. But, that's been a while. |

Water fall, don't ever change your ways
Fall with me for a million days
Oh, my waterfall
I left Jimi packed away in my CD collection unattended to for years. I just found it again recently. |

I just saw The Bucket List. I liked it.
A recent post on the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif?v=88.8) linguaphiles community reminded me that Turkish is at the top of my list of languages to learn. There's something compelling about the agglutinating paradigm. |
