I had no idea that the St Johns Burgerville would prove such a treasure trove of linguistic chaos. Witness the June marquee, which Brooks most obligingly photographed for me during last night’s evening perambulation. Either way, we’re all going to have a good time! […] We left off the tale of the adventures of our anti-hero as Tuesday night fell. It still felt like Tuesday night when his friends began to arrive Wednesday morning, probably because it was…still night. 4:05 am. Friends of neighbor begin to arrive. 6:00 am. The increasing volume of evictee’s efforts are an effective alarm clock. […] In retrospect, I should have lived blogged this. For that huge FAIL, I will always be sorry.

Me: Oh my […] While having a really good beer this evening at The 5th Quadrant, I was reminded of a terrible beer we tried at Alameda Brewhouse a couple weeks back. The two don’t really have anything in common, besides being beer. Or so the server at Alameda Brewhouse claimed; in fact, their random blond seasonal she talked […] Yesterday, we had a short shopping outing that I consider successful. How successful? Living room and dining room furniture for Brooks: check. In a mere three or so hours of hobbling (my foot continues to be painful), he and I found not just a couch and two living room chairs made of awesome, but also […] Indigo Traders, a family business owned by Karla Bean and Samir Naser, is one of my very favorite shops in Portland.

They recently opened an outpost across […] |
