Two years old! [09 Nov 2009|01:38pm] kuddliphish Mica turned two on Saturday. It's hard to believe how fast he's grown, and how far he has come from the little baby he was just two years ago. It is also a little tragic how infrequently I've posted about his milestones, so here's a little snapshot of Mica, age two. ( cut because it got long ) post comment

Horseback Riding [09 Nov 2009|01:51pm] triangleites [mediter] Where can I go horseback riding in the area? I'm just looking for a place where I can rent a saddled horse & ride it around their farm/land or whatever. I've googled around, but can only find places that offer lessons in various riding styles. I don't want lessons! Thanks guys :) 2 comments|post comment

let's try this again [05 Nov 2009|05:43pm] triangleites [zsolarstar] Okay, sorry for my last post about NC residency - it was a random rush post and I didn't take the time to write out my situation. It's a little complicated, so here goes: - I am originally from Michigan - I am currently a Duke grad student, but I don't need residency for school - it has nothing to do with my schooling - I will be graduating in August of this upcoming year and intend to work as a physician assistant here and obtain my DEA license/medical license to practice in NC. I don't have to legally be a resident in the state I practice, but that would be messy with income tax and such, so I need to be a resident - I am up to my nose in student loans so I don't plan on owning a house anytime soon, so would my "intent to establish primary permanent residency" be okay with just an apartment? - I am getting married in April of this upcoming year and will be changing my last name at that time, and was hoping this process would be made somewhat easier by already having a driver's license at the local DMV here instead of having to go back up north - My car is registered in MI and I carry a Michigan driver's license So for those of you that have first-hand knowledge with relocating here and establishing yourself here, any experiences you could share regarding the following would be SO appreciated: - establishing "residency" - getting your car registered down here/driver's liscence & plates - MI does not have inspection, so that's also new to me - good car insurance companies to go with down here Thank you SO much for all your help. I plan on researching everything out, but things are really hectic right now with rotations and was hoping someone out there felt like guiding a lost soul :) Again, sorry for the confusion in the last post. Thank you so much! 11 comments|post comment

Features: Savage Love:November 4, 2009 [04 Nov 2009|12:00am] savagelove http://www.avclub.com/articles/november-4-2009,34946/?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=feeds&utm_source=type_savage-love I’m a 20-year-old girl, and I’ve been dating my boyfriend, who is 23, for two years. From the get-go, he has known that I am bi, and like most straight guys, he’s happy to be with a girl who likes girls. The thing is, I am too shy to go out and hit on a girl. Getting a man was the easy part, but getting a girl who is willing to fuck around not only with me but also with my boyfriend is a daunting task. I encourage my boyfriend to talk to women since he is ... 26 comments|post comment

stone/river rock? [03 Nov 2009|04:31pm] triangleites [ignescent] Is there a place near Southpoint mall or in the Chapel Hill area to buy decent quantities of river-rock or flat stone in the 1 to 2 foot size range?

new object decorated [01 Nov 2009|05:01pm] pants_of_doom Yesterday night I went out to Gardiner to hang out with Graceless Kelly, and she asked me to draw on an object for her: the box containing her recently deceased mother's ashes. This is the most flattering thing I have ever been asked to draw on. Funereal art is so personal, and I feel very lucky to know Graceless and to have been able to do something for her now while she's grieving other than making her eat a big sandwich. Also, I totally drew on my friend's dead mom. She's posted the photos to Facebook, here. 5 comments|post comment

Maker Faire: NC [31 Oct 2009|02:15pm] triangleites [ambermae] From the TechShop forums. Please visit the links below to get involved: Some of the Make:RDU group and others in the community are planning a "Mini" Maker Faire for Spring 2010. We're at the early stages of planning now so there are still a lot of unanswered questions. What we DO know is that it will happen April-May next year, it will be awesome, and we need LOTS of Makers coming out and showing their talents. Help us spread the word, OK? Head on over to www.makerfairenc.com, sign up for the Facebook page, the Twitter feed, and attend the Make:RDU meetings. Tell your friends, coworkers, family, etc. especially if they're not really involved online and might miss our online marketing. We need makers, crafters, artists, designers, hackers, etc. from all walks of life! 1 comment|post comment

Durham haunted yard! Worth the drive! [31 Oct 2009|06:35am] triangleites [barebonedcrazy] If you are looking for a fun house to trick-or-treat at tonight...definitely head over to 1010 Stadium Drive in Durham (right off of Duke St)! Some of you may know which house I'm talking about but my in-laws always put on a great show and this year they are doing it a little differently...a haunted tent in the drive way! I was over there all last night setting up and it's going to be GREAT! I'll be the little red devil in front, giving candy to the wee ones who aren't quite prepared for such an ordeal :) The haunting will commence around 6pm! Happy treating!! 1 comment|post comment

Art School? [29 Oct 2009|07:56pm] triangleites [mediter] Hi guys :) I'm a so-called artist, looking for some various artistic courses to enroll in. I'm unemployed with too much free time on my hands! I'm also new to the area (remember me?). I live in Pittsboro (well, in the woods closer to fearrington) & I'm not really afraid of a commute. Are there buses around here? I'm looking for graphic design, mixed media, art history, painting, ceramics... you name it! I just need to know what colleges/universities to look into for that sort of thing. Any help is much appreciated. Tips on attractions (food/etc) to check out in Pittsboro are very welcome. ^_^ 18 comments|post comment
