Was just on vacation, am now back in Portland but got rid of Qwest (I ain't paying over $40/ month for net, f--- that), so have to wait til Wednesday to (hopefully?) get some Comcast DSL.

I'm hoping in a few months the free Portland wireless will be around my place, so I can pay $0/ month for net.... but I'm not gonna hold my breath, exactly. I do ( Read more... )

Okay, so... 7 months later....

First of all, for the folks in VA- I am going there this week. I will be around northern VA 8/17-8/20. I plan to go through Richmond the evening of 8/20, Monday, to have dinner with whoever will have dinner with me (Jessicas!), en route to the beach of Duck, NC, where my oldest friend Eric will be. I might stay with ( Read more... )

I've been listening to the No Direction Home CDs today and surprise, Dylan's outtakes of his best songs really KICK BALLS, now who'd have thoughten?

NYE was good for me; I drank some, but not too much, so I could drink n watch football and eat too much on NYD without much difficulty. Pretty good there, although seeing the skeezy-ass USC look ummm ( Read more... )

If you're like vegan or somethin, then eat some pumpkin pie.... or something else that's bad for you, eh?

I dunno if I'll have any turkey or what, but I have a few pounds of spuds here and will attempt to make killer mashed potatoes, like your mom made.... BUT BETTA!!!!!

I've had some pretty good times lately, but nothin to really write about. Friday was the biggest partee ever at my friend Kyle's, I did some karaoke Saturday (bad version of Oasis "Rock and Roll Star"- not really in my range), and went to a nice low-key birthday party of my friend Greg Sunday. Well, I was low-key. Maybe other folks were drinkin, ( Read more... )

Was very great show... only down parts were the bits when she mentioned terrorism/ war stuff, not because I disagree with her views per se, but rather 1) it's more mundane that what else she has to say, topics which are much more imaginative, 2) I hear about goddamned terrorism/ war all the time on Fox News radio at work (site supervisor's, not my ( Read more... )

I see several of my LJ friends mention Steve's death, and tried to post to tomahto about it but LJ botched my comment, so I figured I'd just post my thoughts here.

I want to preface my first thought by saying 1) I liked Steve a lot, 2) I'm not calling him irresponsible or anything. Having said that, I hope people have learned to give potentially ( Read more... )
