My favorite pastimes include watching movies, reading sci-fi/fantasy books, gaming, cooking/baking, and listening to music. I've […]

Welp, what should've been a simple 2-segment, 3-day trip to Seattle has turned into something much more.. interesting.
The second segment (from LA to Seattle) was cancelled 😔
So, long story short, they rebooked it, only there was a slight miscommunication. The first bus I take doesn't leave 3 […]

I just plum forgot
With everything around me
It happened so quick

Plums are a fruit thing
Purple and so delicious
Juicy sweet nectar

Ok, so I got some Chipotle. The place doesn't actually offer chipotle chilies, but whatever. Got some guac and chips, my own burrito, left a tip, and this thing had more flavor than any other burrito I've ever gotten from them. Way more cilantro and toppings.

Oh frozen hellscape

Fields of gold wither
Winter makes the Earth shudder
Its dark shroud lingers

Listening to Lord Huron and watching the moon scoot on by. Train is currently between Williston and Trenton, ND.

Part of a Sylvia Plath poem I think I forgot to post last week

So I think I found a way around the rail pass restrictions. After my next stay in Chicago it's a 2-segment, 3-day train ride with a 2 hour layover in LA and a trip up the coast, ending in downtown Seattle where I'll stay for 2 days. I got a great deal at the hotel I stayed in the last few times […]

A few more interesting pics I snapped while in Portland

I'm in the middle of like 6 different books rn, but the one I'm focusing on today is Skeleton Crew. Short stories by Stephen King, and boy it's got some great ones in it. The last one (Nona) was about a guy who (kinda) falls in love and kills a bunch of people. He may or may not have been crazy […]

The bear is confused
If not food, then why food-shaped

The toilet here has two flush buttons.. what I'm assuming is a #1 and a #2 button. Also, the bathroom is frickin huge.. and I've had a lot of rooms to compare it to over the last few months.
Oh yeah... did I mention the front lobby has one of those old-school […]

Some church pics I snapped today. There were a few I missed by the park. Maybe I'll snap a few tomorrow while I'm waiting for the train. The squirrel scene there is unparalleled.

Well, I got my free Subway foot-long. The place had a few bad reviews, and window or two was boarded up. But, I left a tip for the sandwich artist, and voila 😆
Now that's a sub!

Also, I think I saw Stan Lee downstairs. I think he's dead though, so probably not.

Some cool Green Man stuff I saw today. Don't remember if I saw it last time. I remember seeing some runes, which was interesting. I had a handmade set back in high school.

This is way better than "Dickies". Funny enough, I actually passed a display with the exact same shoes I was wearing. May they last many more miles.

Omfg you guys, this room I'm in tonight is so choice. I'm up in the 14 floor of the Marriott. Good ol Expedia 😆👍

There's a lot of fat little squirrels here in the park near the museum. They'll come right up to you for food apparently.
