Saturday @ Stumptown
David and I headed to Stumptown Comics Fest today. We biked, like good little Portlanders. Actually I’m getting a lot more comfy on my bike these days. I rode up to the NW yesterday (story to follow later). We knew that there would be NO parking at the Doubletree where Stumptown was held so we [...]
Goodbye Moosey
D and I go to the Blue Moose Vegetarian restaurant every Wednesday. It has become a kind of ritual. Being mid-week , we love taking the time to process the week, readying ourselves for the last few days before the weekend. And the ritual was made especially enjoyable because of the owner of Sheila and [...]
NaNoWriMo, and a good phone call
Calie, my wonderfully brilliant critique partner lives in Wilmington, NC. She called me from an Obama benefit where James Taylor was singing. Calie works in a theatre, and has many fun stories about the theatre antics. And I got an e-mail from her this week saying that she would be at the event. But the [...]
I think I just swallowed my stomach - the long post
It dawned on me, around 3 this morning, that I have a shitload of work to do. And on top of that, I believe that I wont get the funding I need for my next semester. Still not sure WTF is going on with that. I should ask someone. Let’s add that to our list [...]
I learned a little something
Wordcampdx yesterday as any of you following my Twitter feed will know (sorry if it got a little nuts, but it was a little nuts there). I learned a lot, and finally understand how much I need to learn if I want to be fully self-sufficent as a Wordpress user. That’s not to say that [...]
Why am I always playing catch up?
This is bullet-form day. I rarely have time to blog anymore with my schedule. Work is nuts, all the time, which is a good thing. I’m never bored, but there are rarely lulls that would allow me to blog. And by the time I get home, I just want to unwind.
The Best Compliment - I [...]
Things to do in Portland when you’re me
Go to a “special” women’s group - It’s no surprise to many of you (and if it is, sorry! ) that I am way freaking out of the closet with my sexuality. I’m Bi, and proud of it. No, it’s not a phase. Yes, I can be bi, monogomous, and married. No, I don’t [...]
On the couch, with wine
I’m drinking a red. Not much of a surprise there, but it’s called “Red.” Sometimes wine names are so profound.
I’ve got a lot to say, but I’m dead-ass tired. So, here are snippetts, because that’s all I can muster.
Wool Coats - I thought we were headed for the heart of autumn, D and I hunted [...]
Dancing Queens
Friday was fantastic. Miss Amandapants invited us out for dinner and dancing. Now, I loves to dance. I can shake my groove thing with the best of the them, but we haven’t been out dancing in eons. Going to the booty club with my sister doesn’t count. Well, it does a little. I danced to [...]
Go by Bike
August is Go By Bike month! (although I’m not sure whether this is local or not)…but go to the site. Take a look - especially if you are local, and give a try to going by bike!
this n that….
It’s been a rough week overall. I have very supportive friends that are helping me through being out of work, but then I found out that I’m not eligible for unemployment this quarter. If I file in September, then I am eligible, but right now I don’t have enough hours. It’s a screwy system that [...]
Portland International Beer Festival
Portland International Beer Festival
Mmmmmmm…..beer.
Scraping the pennie together and going. Why? Because I love beer and beer loves me.
My ass hurts
But I just got home from my first Night Ride! There was movie stop (those are all the super dark photos), the disco stop (the blurry photos) and doughtnuts at the end. We chatted strangers up, my chain fell off, we passed people wearing outrageous costumes, and had a lot of fun.
We are totally doing [...]
The update
Valentine has a mass in his bladder. This is unusual for cats, but common in dogs of his age (which is still not old, damnit). The problem is that we don’t know if it’s cancer or not. The test the Vet ran yesterday came back inconclusive. What’s next? There are several options. D and I [...]
Chicken Fat, yes, I said Chicken Fat
In my sad attempts to try and eat healthier, I went to Subway for lunch the other day. Chill. I wasn’t anywhere near Portland, otherwise I would have stopped in on one of my favorite restaurants. Every Wednesday I drive to Battle Ground for a meeting, during the lunch hour, and they don’t have much [...]
Keep god out of greeting cards
Let this be a warning…I’m on my “I can’t fucking stand self-important Christians who tread on hypocritical moral high ground” soapbox… Why? Because it’s pre-coffee time, I forgot my breakfast and I pissed at the world that I had to get out of bed this morning.
Only someone who is painfully idiotic or completly unaware would [...]
Bad remodels are dangerous
When we moved into this house, we were excited. The pictures didn’t do the kitchen justice. It’s quite large. The granite counter tops, lovely. But once you live in a space, you find the dangerous bits, the areas where you should tread lightly for fear of rabid opossums or low-hanging ceilings just waiting for a [...]
What a wonderful world
I haven’t taken a shower yet. I’m still covered in sweat, but my heart is full of joy. Why? D and I rode down to the waterfront and saw Obama’s speech. Okay, honestly, we heard it. There were an estimated 75k people down there, and I wasn’t about to beat people up for a good [...]
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 is now where my [...]
Fire is bad
It’s obvious to look at me, that I loves me some food. Salsa has to be my favorite condiment. I think everything tastes better with sour cream. Carrots are only as good as the dressing they are in, and there’s nothing better on a cold day than tomato soup and a good grilled cheese sandwich [...]

- @amergina LOL I'm glad. It's just weird that a little span of inactivity and I will lose followers.
- I'm losing followers and I'm not even cursing! I'm actually working... hmm... perhaps I am too boring. Ahhh fuck it.
- @sbossinger LOL... well interpretation is a bitch. Didn't even happen to me. Someone was rude to my sister, so the claws came out.
- @DMcEachern Life is not fair. Survival of the most awake, I say!
