Alberta Street Fair
On Saturday Arch and I went to the Alberta Street Fair. It was very sweet. A little spread out but still good. I actually love Portland street fairs. In San Diego street fairs are a lot of chiropractor booths and t-shirts that say extremely clever things like, “Who Came First, The Chicken or The Egg” [...]
My Jeans!
I actually don’t shop very much and I don’t own a lot of clothes. It’s mostly because when I buy something, I tend to spend a lot of money on that thing and so I can’t afford to shop all the time. But I am most pleased with my new jeans and that’s why you [...]
I’m Allergic to More Stuff!
Yesterday the Melissa Lion family went for a bike ride. And Steve was like, “Let’s ride to Hawthorne!” And I was like, “Wow! No!” And he kept asking and I kept saying no because if we were going to ride to Hawthorne from St. John’s we might as well have ridden to California. IT’S THAT [...]
I Have A Medical Condition
I know this post is going to severely alarm 87% of my loyal blog readers and so, I beg you, before continuing, please ask someone who knows CPR to stand near you because you will need reviving after you read this.
I believe that I have a medical condition. And before any of my cronies pipe [...]
It’s Back Fence PDX Day!
Yay boobs!
Our theme is Just Can’t Get Enough: Getting Stuffed and Being Stuffed and so I’m so glad there’s a stuffed bra story. This one is by Intern Nathalie and it is superb. Gave me the chills because it took me right back to junior high and needing to be like everyone else. And then, [...]
I Went to A Garage Sale
For whatever reason, Portland has a ton of garage/ yard sales. In California, yard sales are for people who have shopped too much at Wal-Mart and have shopped too much at Wal-Mart, if you know what I mean. I don’t know what I mean, but whatever. Basically, you find a lot of dirty plastic kids’ [...]
More Pie
Thank you all for your support. I’m only about $29,999,999 away from my Vice Presidential money-raising goals. But I have been out of the country more times than Sarah Palin has and that counts for something. Or nothing. Depending on your party affiliation.
I made a pie last night. The picture is not that great, and [...]
I’m Vice Presidential Material
I ignored the internets yesterday. It was sunny here. I saw many, many friends and ate a hot dog with ruffles potato chips and then ate a chocolate strawberry crepe with the Brain Trust/Sluts. And thank you for all of your friend adds on Friendster Facebook. Intern Nathalie is handling my Classmates.com Facebook global domination [...]
Back Fence PDX Day!
Yay, one of my favorite new bloggers has posted on Back Fence PDX. We have Intern Meagan telling a story about an ex-boyfriend. In typical Meagan form, the story is wry, fresh and honest. The ending will have you wincing, for sure.
I loved it!
As for me, I’m just taking over the world one book review [...]
This Will Not Make Sense to 99% of You
For my old friend in England–
A Fame for your Allison.
Mose wrote this song, but here’s Georgie Fame covering it. Two greats, one on the piano, one on the Hammond.
Dreamt about you a few nights ago.
You make me proud and happy. Thank you for everything — for giving me clarity, inspiration and motivation. For holding up [...]
