A Post in Which I Review Something Given to Me for Free
So I did meet some very, very cool people at BlogHer, including Drew from Eden Fantasies. They sell sex toys. Drew was there as a sponsor and to hand out some vibrators, which he did at a party. Interesting thing about that party, Kathryn and I showed up a minute early and every single vibrator [...]
Gardening: Some Thoughts
I don’t know. I just…sometimes Portland…I feel so out of it.
Everyone here gardens and normally I’m a total follower with this shit, but now that summer’s here again, I realize that gardening makes me feel a little bit stabby. I’m not good with the learning new stuff especially when like everyone around me is way [...]
Hello? Hello, Internet?
Hi Internet,
How are you today? I am well.
*Stalling for time*
Have you seen Lady Clover’s blog? Basically, I wish Gina and I were closer in age and that I lived in LA before I decided to do that whole have a kid thing because seriously. We could have gotten into some serious alcohol poisoning fun.
And for [...]
I Rule Portland with an Iron Fist
So, Word to Your Mother was awesome. So awesome. The space has 500 seats and we filled 400+. It’s 700 standing, and I’ve been there for standing room only shows — scary. But it was amazing to see that many people all together to see a show I had a small part in. It was [...]
My Distinctive Mop of Black Hair
Okay, so.
An article ran in the Oregonian that described my hair as distinctive.
When I was out with my friend Tyler, this woman stopped us on the street to talk about my hair.
You all know that I’ve found dead bugs in my hair. I blame bike rides(?).
And, by far, my most favoritest remark about my hair [...]
Cougar
I just want to say god bless American slang. Because as I was thinking about having a baby, MILF* was on the rise and that term pretty much became the deciding factor. And then in my early thirties Cougar entered American slang and all I have to say is fuck yes. As if a 20 [...]
In Your Face Portland News Media!
Except for all of the media that covers Back Fence and places for which I’ve written (which is all of them — hi! You look so nice today! Want to grab a drink?!?)
I have an important interview I’m *doing* on Saturday afternoon. It’s the media opportunity of the weekend, and I get the interview. Because [...]
I Got a T-shirt!
That’s my exciting news. I got a free t-shirt from Swan Day and I bought some peonies. I got two for one because they were officially buy two get one free and RSG and I bought two and she handed me the free one. Because she’s nice like that.
I had another post all planned and [...]
Tickled Pink
The internet is tickling me this morning. First, Chris is blogging from his corpo-office job wearing no undershirt and so his nipples are visible through his dress shirt. Funny and h-o-t! Or c-o-l-d if he’s in one of those ultra-air conditioned offices.
Then, there’s Crissy’s interview (where she calls me a blog crush) at a blog [...]
Adventures in Customer Service
Over the past few days I’ve had the pleasure of dealing with customer service people over the telephone. One time that pleasure was ironic, the other time it was actually a pleasure.
So I canceled my account with a cell phone company that rhymes with Squint. I was their customer for four long years. FOUR LONG [...]
