Oh, what a beautiful day I had yesterday! S and I took a hike along Opal Creek with my friend Elicia. She is a lovely, extra-intelligent and extra-tattooed bike activist/foodie, so we had some refreshingly stimulating conversation as we walked.

It was just perfect: first we went to McMinnville itself (or "Mack", as the locals apparently call it), and explored its f*cking ADORABLE main street. There is an old single- ( Read more... )

Here I am in the land of Internet again. I do not even really want to talk about the last few months. I have been feeling better for a while, but I have been procrastinating being online again because I felt I would have to explain my not being online for so long. So I will not go into detail, but just say that things for me were such that I had ( Read more... )

So I was watching Street Smarts tonight, which of course I am ashamed of, and the host asked this woman: "What do you get when you mix powdered milk and water ( Read more... )
