Yippee
My Budokan teacher, who had cancelled the class due to low attendance and not being able to afford the space, has gone outside. Meaning? I’m going to class in Laurelhurst Park. I’m very excited. I think that just made my day.
Bluesfest this weekend…
D and I are going to spend the 4th, on the river with a bajillion other folks. I love blues. I wanted to go to a Blues bar when I was in Chicago a few years ago, but never had the chance. But the blues found me in Portland, and I plan to have a [...]
Good Morning Me
There’s a space in all of us where we really find ourselves. It’s not the bombastic self, or the one who deals with shitty traffic and stupid working relationships. It’s the self that we keep for the quiet moments of deep examination, and I have to say, I missed her. I haven’t seen her since [...]
My fireplace smells like stinky cloves
That was the first thing I thought this morning when I woke up. How vile? How nasty? How could I smell or taste anything beyond that stench? How in the fuck am I going to get through residency without smoking? But my friend from work is quitting and I am trying to be supportive. And [...]
Happy Monday
Slept like shit Woke up and used the elliptical My girly bits are sore from yesterday’s ride. I decided not to wear bike shorts underneath my spiffy pants. Our home improvements from the weekend have made the house look better. We still have to put another screen door up on the back door. If it [...]
And now…with OCD
I don’t know if I was actually avoiding finishing my pages for the month, but instead of focusing on POV or cleaning the house, D and I rearranged our home. Once the thought entered my mind, I couldn’t focus on anythign else. We had to move the rooms around. Must. Move. Furniture. The dining table [...]
D is the man
I’m finally in a city where Cirque tours, but I thougt I wouldn’t be able to see this one. It’s kind of expensive (how much were the tickets at Disney again?). Cortero is a newer show and it opened on March 1. We can see the tents eretectd Downtown for the show. D and I kept [...]
Plot change – in bullet form
I’m reworking my novel, but I think I told you this already. I’ve taken the characters that I really loved from Liberty, and put them into the same city, but renamed the city, and changed the hierarchy of the characters. With the tense shifts, POV changes, insecure writing, and confusion, most of you never read [...]
Downloading and downtime
I played Halo last night with my sister and D. I realized a few weeks ago that she stopped blogging because of Halo, and I stopped writing. That’s changing. I think video games, at least for me, are like dessert. I’m allowed to have them, in moderation. Moderation isn’t one of my favorite words. Let’s [...]
Home and employed
I wrote briefly about a job interview I had scheduled for today. Well, after meeting with the company at 11 this morning, they called me at 1 for a second interview. In truth, they wanted me to come back in to offer me the job. I wasn’t the most qualified, but they said they liked [...]
New Year
So, I’ve been in a huge funk, been sick, been less than my 100%. But today is the first day of the new year, and I spent it wearing my new necklace, recovering from too much wine and conversation, and cooking my favorite meal. The clouds and cold reminded me why I love this place. [...]
Music Matters – by Faithless
I’m listening to this song. Every time I hear it, it makes me happy. For all those who stood up and were counted For all those for whom money was no motive For all those for whom music was a message I want to thank you For making me A little more sure A little [...]
I GOT AN INTERVIEW!!!
*doin happy dance* A placement company that I’ve been watching just e-mailed me for an interview. They want to place me permanently and one of the jobs was for a Jr. Tech Support/admin position. Dude — that’s essentially what I was doing before!! WHOSE YOUR DADDY!?!?!? *note: I’ve been manic for 2 days…so pardon the [...]
Back on track
I fucked up with school in a big way, so I’m digging myself out of the muck and mire and trying to get back on track. It’s hard right now. I thought not being in Florida for my first holiday would be a breeze, but I kind of miss driving on the 408 as the [...]
Oh dayum
Happy Belated Burpday to Miss Hollie!! Sorry honey! I totally spaced. And I think Julie got married this weekend…so congrats love! I really should pay more attention to my iCal
Salsa
this is an “ish” recipe. But this is kind of a guesstimate. 10 roma or plum tomatoes 5 regular tomatoes (vine ripened ones —- I don’t know the names, I just use the pretty ones) 1 regular yellow onion 8 cloves of garlic-ish (I usually use a full head because I love garlic) 10 jalapenos [...]
Holidaze
It’s been a crazy few days. Amandapants came back from her trip, only to find that her pissed off kitties pissed on her pillows. We spent the next few hours doing laundry. Then we went to dinner. It didn’t sit well with her, but she said she enjoyed the place I felt bad. Lex, due [...]
Happy Birthday Amandapants!
I owe that bitch a beer, and a hug when she gets back. She’s going to be in Cleveland until tomorrow, and when she gets home, we are going to a bar she found (it’s not like there aren’t a million here), and we will celebrate. Her cats have missed her terribly. I have too. [...]
Ketchup
This is where I stop being a total slacker and I get back into the groove of everyday writing. I almost applied to write for Portland Metroblogging, but I thought it would be silly. I can’t get myself to write every day right now, so why add another stress when I have a shitload of [...]
3 years
I could say all kinds of flowery stuff, give you a list of things I love about him, or go on and on. But it’s very simple. As of today, I’ve been married to D for 3 years. And they have been the best, years of my life. I love you Snoogs. Happy Anniversary. PS [...]
