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 [...]
Sunny, cold, and my lip is bleeding
I slept like the dead last night. Using the treadmill will do that for you, if you pull yourself out of your own way to get something done. One thing I haven’t done: laundry. It’s still in a pile, collecting animal hair, and serving as the comfiest bed to both beagle and feline. Wish I [...]
Yay for walking!
Portland is among the top 10 walkable cities. What confused the hell out of me — Miami?!? Really? I lived there. Sure, you can walk down the street, but you are going to walk damn far to get to a bus. The only pleasant areas to walk around were the Grove, the Beach and sometimes [...]
I’m doing homework…really
So, I’m taking a break from scrambling my brain and I came across this article about having a green christmas. D and I don’t celebrate Xxxmas, at least not in the traditional way. I’m soooo not christian, and D is .. well he’s D. I decided that I do want lights this year. They seem [...]
A second desk
I’ve started collecting furniture from my friends. That gold chair that everyone loves to hate came from my friend Karen. Then D’s desk is actually one that Julie (the Rev) gave me when she moved from the apartment near Rollins to her place off Ferncreek. Now I have a desk from C. It’s beautiful. She [...]
While the onions cook
Still in the midst of deadline, this is a quick post while I cook. Our fireplace is toast. We can’t burn anything. The firebox itself is solid, but the chimney is falling apart. One strong wind, and we will lose bricks. That means I am very bitter. The heater died as well. After NW Natural [...]
Wow… what a bitch
I really can’t stand Anne Coulter. She’s a hateful skeeze, and the only reason she gets play on television is because she pisses everyone off. That’s entertainment! Why do people buy her books? Why would someone support a woman so full of hatred and disdain (in full disclosure – I haven’t read any of her [...]
If you’ve got ink, you can’t live here
Wow, they do things stupider in Texas, don’t they? If the person taking the rental application saw the tattoos to begin with, then why let them conintue with the process? And they took their money for the fee! Man, this makes me want to buy a house. I understand the argument between private property rights [...]
Still watching out
I read this today, and it worried me. I remember (I and miss) the suddenness of Florida storms, how they erupt in a moment and either bathe the world in water or tear the houses down. The rains here are nothing short of gentle and kind. Misty and almost mysterious, they don’t assault the senses [...]
RIP Robert Jordan
I used to kid that he would die before he finished the series. I feel like a total ass now. Sweet dreams great author.
Shag for russia!
I think this is crazy, but it still made me laugh.
Listy
The squirrels have finally arrived at my feeder. Happiness. D and I found my favorite Zin again… but we are calling it Follie of Doom. I haven’t had a hang over like that in eons. When a drunk E says “just one more bottle” — it’s a bad thing. I love playing dominoes. Puzzle games [...]
Wrinkle in Time Author dies
RIP So very sad. Did you read her books?
Discoveries
It’s been a few crazy days, but there’s much to talk about today. First and foremost — congrats to Claire! She had her baby and is home resting well. I’ve come to a realization here in Portland that the servers function in their own time-space continuum. While the service was spotty throughout Orlando, I find [...]
Planting
This is chunky… I’m not up to editing. I’ve taken to this whole “unemployed” thing. I spend my days reading, exploring the city, writing, and today I will garden. The yard is a blank canvas. It needs some love. We went to Home Depot the other day, Friday I think, and when I tried to [...]
My aching bones
The trauma with my hands continues. I went to the doc and they told me that I have bone pain. No shit! I just paid someone money to tell me something I already knew? Lovely. Next, a hand doc. The bad thing is that I lose my insurance next week. Wonder if I can bang [...]
Linkedy link link…
Wandering the web, and look what I found. I lost my son to a war I oppose. We were both doing our duty. The idea that saying anything against the war is a crime against the troops, well that’s just a tactic our government uses to get us to shut the fuck up. This is [...]
The boxes rise
With the departure of the futon, the front room has becoming the staging station for the building box towers. I thought, albeit naively, that all of the boxes I’d collected from work would be plenty for our books. Dead wrong was I (we watched a show about the history of Star Wars last night…sorry. Yoda [...]
La La La….. and stuff
I have a bruised finger and my lip is a little sensitive. And I know you are going to ask why, because I know you care. Hollie and her friend came over to get the futon. I forgot how heavy and awkward it was. D and I had to turn it on its side, shimmy [...]
Planting Onions
Sometimes I’m just odd. For weeks, two onions grew long, pale leaves, and they were growing said greenery in my vegetable drawer in the fridge. I didn’t want to throw them away. After all, they were mighty pretty. So, when in doubt – call Mom. She told me to pot them and when they’ve established [...]
