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 [...]
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 [...]
Where is time?
This whole working full-time thing, while GREAT for offering me structure, is shite for my blogging and writing life. I can’t pluck out enough minutes in the day to get a full thought going. At least we have paychecks coming. I think my weekends will be dedicated writing time. If I can crank it out [...]
when…..
I have a lot of things to do before I head out tomorrow, but I’ve gotten a lot done already. I’ve contacted all the people I needed to regarding rooms, flights, etc. I’m working on my laundry, charging my gadgets and ripping movies to put on my PSP. It’s much more affordable than buying [...]
I’m wearing mascara
I didn’t sleep last night. I was intensely nervous about this interview. It went well, but I realized late last night that this is a placement agency. They have positions offered, but there’s no guarantee that I’ll get the ones I was hoping for. In the mean time, they promised me temp work. I’m not [...]
I love living here.
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 [...]
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 [...]
and this is where it gets better
I fell asleep at 8:30 this morning (I just got up, and it’s just after 12). I know that sounds awful, but if I could show you the colors of my mood from yesterday to today — you would be impressed. I think I can call myself a nice emerald green. Yesterday, I felt more [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

On the porch
I’ve been here for a week, and I can’t even begin to tell you about all of it. I will be honest, though. Although I’ve got the words hanging on my fingertips, I haven’t shared them. I still don’t know what I should say. While the time has passed, I’ve come to understand the reality [...]
Alignment
We traveled to Georgia, but exhaustion won out. I guess that is what happens when you spend two nights sleeping on the floor, drinking, and moving It was an admirable feat, if you ask me. But my eyes started to blur and D and I agreed that a night in a proper bed was appropriate. [...]
Severance
In the words of Dead Can Dance: Severance, The birds of leaving call to us, Yet here we stand Endowed with the fear of flight. Overland The winds of change consume the land, While we remain In the shadow of summers now past. When all the leaves Have fallen and turned to dust, Will we [...]
Friday = goodbye
If you want to say it, you’ve got once chance. We will be at McCraney’s on Friday @ 9:30. If you want to stop by la casa sooner, you are more than welcome, although I may be eye-ball high in boxes and stinky. Moving is sweaty work. The truck is coming tomorrow. We will have [...]
This is your head…
This is your head when you are trying to move across the country in less than a week with a living room full of boxes and a million things to do while trying to plan all the goodbyes and somehow fit in some writing otherwise you will got absolutely apeshit (and if anyone from Seton [...]
Welcome to my home
I have a place to hang my birdfeeder. With evergreens and a porch, Cat helped us with our new home. The porch is lined with tile, the kitchen has an island big enough for my salsa disasters and cooking fiascoes. There’s a bus stop outside my front door, and our property is lined with sidewalks. [...]
Where is my e-mail, bitches!?!
SOMEONE RENT TO ME! There… I feel better now. Our landlord showed the house last night. It was a surprisingly painless experience, except that she doesn’t know about Voodoo so we were trying to get the cats to hide. You know canned air? Yes, perfect Kitty pisser-offer. They didn’t come out of their hiding spots [...]
