Idaho Falls

I’ve got one week…

…to complete the following list. One month after I turned 23, I set 10 goals for myself for the year. Let’s see how I’ve done: Finish writing that post I’ve been mentioning for months. Never happened…not even close. Finish at least one piece of fiction I’m currently working on. Worked on them more, but didn’t finish. [...]

Returning to the nest

After an interesting October in Idaho Falls, I’m happy to say that I’ll be starting November back in the greater Seattle area! While I’d left the nest for a year, I will be returning and moving back in with the parentals. I know it sounds kind of like a step backwards, but that’s alright. I’ll [...]

A bittersweet anniversary

So, I’ve been in Idaho Falls for exactly one year (okay…one year and one day, but close enough). And after this one year, I will actually be leaving IF. Now, my last two posts (which can be read here and here) weren’t exactly what you’d call cheerful. So you can safely assume I’m not leaving for [...]

I’ll take home runs over touchdowns any day

Last night, I went to the Skyline High School-Idaho Falls High School football game, otherwise known as the Emotion Bowl (yes, there’s a website for this rivalry). This was literally my first football game in six years. The last game I’d been to was the homecoming game of my senior year in high school (we [...]

Doris’s last days as a Washingtonian

A bit melodramatic, but whatever. We all get worked up over something. For me, Doris is one of them. Her tabs expire at the end of the month, so I’ve had to get Idaho plates for her. I haven’t switched them yet and don’t plan to until the very last minute. I like to think [...]

Table for one

As I made my way in, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Of course, I’d heard of the Snake Bite. But only by name. Prior to this, I had no clue what kind of food they served, no idea what the price range was, no inkling whether the food was even good. Before entering the [...]

My usual pre-Seattle post

Well, I’m going back home tomorrow and I cannot wait! I’ve been in a weird rut here in Idaho Falls and I think this trip will do me good. I’ll be home for a week and so I’ll try to update as much as possible. So, stay tuned!

Check mate!

The room fills with the silence of multiple royal courts hustling noiselessly around checkered floors. While queens glide gracefully in every direction and knights gallop forwards, backwards or side-to-side on their ever-noble steeds, kings keep their movements around the floor to a minimum. Men quietly observe the ongoing dance but this is nothing new. It [...]

I know it’s been awhile…

…but please bear with me, people. Sad to say, I’m back in Idaho Falls now and have been back since Monday. I haven’t posted anything new (either about the rest of my trip or what’s been going on since I’ve been back and how I feel about that) because I’ve just been trying to play [...]

Missing home at home, but what can you do?

I’ve been home for two days now and it’s been great but it’s really funny to see what kind of things you miss from home when you’re gone a long time. When my dad was driving me home Wednesday morning, one of the first things I noticed was how many trees there were along the [...]
