Taking a Break
Archie is still sleeping — it’s 9:45am. I can only think he’s sick. I hope not, but there you are. It’s a cold, gray day in Portland and I could be doing many things like I’m always doing. I could be hearing the chatter of a million different tasks and projects and friends, but I’m [...]
Teh Cookings
I need your help, internet. I am feeling so bored with the kitchen. This is why moms make the same five meals over and over again. It becomes mindless and easy and, frankly, when we’re cooking, everyone leaves us alone so why stress about a new recipe when we can do the same thing we’ve [...]
Some thoughts on smart, pretty, funny girls
All of my girlfriends, both IRL and on the internet are funny and smart and pretty. Every single one of them will make me laugh until I cry. You could hand any one of them a microphone, or a blogging platform and they will make people laugh.
My friends were described to me the other day [...]
I Have a Secret For You
Do NOT tell anyone.
I’m giving away a limited number of free tickets to the October 30th Eastland Academy/ auGi sketch comedy show. I’ve seen Eastland Academy three times and each time I’ve had tears running down my face because I’ve laughed so hard. Their comedy is dark, smart and innapropriate — my favorite kind! Also, [...]
Tahiti is BACK!
OMG you guys, I brought Tahiti back. A few things made me do this — the fact that I didn’t smile once yesterday. Until afternoon when the sun came out, I swear I had just one emotion: despair.
And because this morning I knew I needed to get up and do some job hunting but I [...]

Beware: It’s a Knitting Post
I finished my third Shetland Triangle. The first Shetland Triangle I knit was the best thing I knit…ever. EVER. And I wore it most every cold day for a year and a half. And then I lost it. And I cried and cried. The second one I knit I gave as a gift and the [...]
The Sporting Life
First up, Back Fence is producing an event on October 30-31st and we’re giving away Saint Cupcakes and New Deal Vodka with a donation. Eastland Academy and auGi are getting together for a night of laughs and laughs and uncomfortable moments. You’ll love it. Tickets on sale this afternoon.
And I had this thought this [...]
Body After Baby
Hey All,
I’m not in the greatest mood right now. I’m sort of realizing that the things I do — write, produce events, blog– are simply without monetary value in this culture. I thought that by being talented and producing quality things, I could change that, but it turns out that I can’t.
So I need [...]
My Wonky Eye
Okay, so I have a wonky eye. I didn’t really know this until I saw a video of myself and there it was — wonk. And then I saw pictures of myself on my birthday at the tail end of the night and again – wonk. Here’s my best guess — when I’m tired and [...]
