I'd rather be somewhere else.
Intermittent glimpses into my mind, as well as my wanderings and adventures.

My boss’s daughter is starting a youth environmental education program this summer called BookTrails. It focuses on increasing environmental awareness through literacy among the youths in Steamboat Springs.
Our first event happened today. We’re calling it “Adorable children holding environmental books”

Quote reblogged from Yeah, my URL is making fun of Rebecca BlackWe don’t need a list of rights and wrongs, tables of dos and don’ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever.Philip Pullman (via onesunnycloudyday)

This book was pretty important to my development as a child, and probably partially explains my taste in books now.
Written in the 70s. Children today should STILL be brought up with children’s books written in the 70s.

Quote reblogged from NaNoWriMos Tumblr Community!When a man says he does not want to speak of something he usually means he can think of nothing else.
John Steinbeck, East of Eden (via bookmania)
THIS BOOK. Good God, this book. I would like to have a book club dedicated to discussing only this book for a year.

So this wasn’t so much a hut as a cushy log cabin that happened to not have running water or an indoor bathroom. It slept 16 on memory foam with pillows, had a fully stocked kitchen, and two stoves.
We were out in the backcountry for three days and nights; hiking, playing in the snow, skiing or boarding (if you’d brought your equipment) and generally hippying out. One girl brought her guitar, another guy had egg shakers, and someone else brought bells. The first night we were there a family sharing the cabin with us asked if we were all in a band together.
We ate like kings. The first night we had veggie lasagna, the second night spaghetti with elk stew, (which my group packed in) and the last night we had fish tacos. Breakfasts were french toast and sweet potato hash browns or eggs with sweet potato and onion hash. Lunches were fend for yourself, but our crew brought nori rolls for one day, which were phenomenal trail food - highly recommended. We brought too much produce, easily ten pounds worth of oranges, apples, lemons, avocados and grapefruit, and that was just my group. There was wine, and whiskey and rum for hot toddies. It was one of the best vacations I’ve ever had - adventuring in the daytime, and eating incessantly when we got back.NWLB crew - come to Colorado…we have got to do one of these.

I have gotten rid of facebook. Yee haw.
Anyone interested in remaining in contact with me (and who didn’t get a chance to message me via facebook) should send me contact info through my ask box.Now to post photos from my hut trip.

I’m leaving Steamboat tonight to go on a hut trip outside of Leadville until Friday afternoon. I will not have cell service. Any drunk phone calls or text messages will be backlogged and replied to in order of reception.
That’s not to discourage drunkenly contacting me.

See you on the other side of Wednesday.

Myself and a few friends from Chapman are starting a blog. We’ll post things as often as they get written; ideally once a month. Theoretically there will be themes for each posting. The article currently on there was written for the prompt “displacement” - writing about living in new surroundings. I have a slightly more thoughtful essay about my move out here, but it’s quite long and I’m debating whether or not to post it.
More to come, hopefully, so keep an eye out - the other contributors are great writers!
