Things to-do:

1.  I would like to start a zine, but am certain that I don't have enough substance to have a whole issue, much less two.  Or three. -- Anyone wanna go in on one? Revive! (or resurrect?): The Spirit of Rebellion is Worse than Witchcraft?

2.  We need to get our camping club going, cool stencil and all.

3.  I know I've said it before (aloud, to actual people, not online), but I'll say it again -- I need to get an emergency kit assembled -- last night's storms made all of the sirens go off and I was actually worried/scared.  Citizen preparedness!  If anything happens to us, we will be fine.  That is, if I assemble our emergency kit.  

4.  I'm going to start an "AFFECTION:  Please reassemble for one last spectacular show" petition.  Why do all great Little Rock bands disband before I can even get sick of them?  Listening to Affection now is like a haunting -- it's like those feelings you get when you ride a bus alone.  Please sign?

5.  We've got some birthdays coming up -- I've got Bootsie's in the bag, but I need to know what KMHD is feelin', so I can plan accordingly.  AHEM.  

I feel such a deep need to be out-of-doors -- I don't care if it's a daytrip to Petit Jean or a picnic @ Toltec, or a full-blown camping trip -- I've proposed a camping trip for next weekend.  It may still be risky, weather-wise, but we're prepared, right?

KMHD & I started talking about identity yesterday.  I wanted to blog about it, but it's too complex for words.  In short, I really enjoy worldly cuisines, musics, and um...scarves.  Dad is caucasian & mom is Vietnamese, I'm bi-racial.  But, there is no denying this:  I'm soooooo white.  I'm a naive, well-meaning, save-the-world complex havin' white person.  Ha ha, I care about things!  LOL, have you eaten at Layla's?  Recycle this, protect the environment, organic this, Obama that.  I'm having a difficult time, putting to words, who I am.  I'm not trying to prove anything to anyone, but I find it crazy that I just can't say who, OR WHAT, I am.  Can it be so simple, though? Can I just say, "I'm me, there's no other."?  Sometimes I wonder if people are disappointed that I'm not Asian enough.    ??? !!!!!  

I need to get ready for AEH's rehearsal dinner.  Thankfully, we aren't a wedding party member, but I think this is her way of thanking me for helping her with invites, programs, etc.  

I miss Victor real bad today.  He needs to come around, kick some people's asses for me.
