I am (again) distressed to discover that life is not glamorous at all times. This is not what storybooks and movies led me to believe life would be like. I do not look tragically lovely when I cry. No one dramatically chases after me in the rain to declare their undying and endless adoration. The [...]

Things, and stuff, that I am fond of

Sara has started doing Things I Love Thursdays (aka TILT), and it looks like Heather is on that train too. And Pam (whose blog I was unaware of until recently) does Feel Good Fridays (and Tie One On Tuesday cocktail posts!) so I thought I’d be a total copycat and make a short list of [...]
25 Things (that some of you don’t know, but some of you totally do)

1. I tended bar at a crappy Chinese restaurant when I was 22. It was a seriously cruddy place– $1 happy hour Bud Light! I was not a very good bartender, and no one cared at all. The most complicated things I made were tequila sunrises. I served a lot of rum & cokes, shots, [...]

Thank god I live walking distance to M’s place, or I’d have lost my mind. This is Day 3 of Snowpocalypse, as everyone in Portland is already aware. We walked to the grocery store Saturday and today, and we’re well-stocked with food and Xmas cookies, especially seeing as how we can’t distribute cookies to intended [...]
Statistical probability of failure is 1 in 2

M ran Blotto through Genderanalyser, and apparently last night got a 64% chance that it was written by a woman. Which is, you know, not accurate. Of course, this morning I’m seeing a 51% chance it’s a man, with the caveat that it’s “quite gender neutral”.
The blinding accuracy of the initial experience, of course, meant [...]

In Italy for a short-term study abroad, doing a crappy job of taking photos because I don’t want to be conspicuous (and am apparently an idiot, since it’s not like there aren’t tourists everywhere, and I look pretty American with the clothes I brought this trip). I’ll try to do better! Also, I should totally [...]
You’ve got red on you

I found several of these excellent tags in SE Portland when I was walking to meet the boyfriend for dinner. Ahh, Simon Pegg, how do I love thee?
Erm…

Several of my friends have been after me to start a blog… though lord knows why, you’d think they’d get enough of me in real life. So here I am, having caved and started a blog, even without Tikimama or Lawnchair Vigilante actually following through on any of my “post every day for 2 weeks” [...]
