Oh sweet freaking mother of jesus this god damn heat wave has to got to pass.....
bah... sooooooo spoiled for 6 years with AC I just forgot what this is like. I guess it is good to be uncomfortable and suffer once in awhile. It humbles you and reminds you of how good you have it when you rectify the situation.

Well... well...well..
I think I am living amongst the fastest gentrification of a neighborhood I have ever seen...
Case in point, of the 9 houses immediately around mine 7 have sold within the last 12 months (5 in the last 3 months) at much higher prices than the neighborhood used to get AND all to people in their 30's and predomintly white.

I've always been conflicted about the gentrification of Portland's "black neighborhoods."
I dunno.
Hope you're living in a place you love, anyway. We really ought to hang out again someday, you know that? I keep saying that, don't I?

So about 18 months ago I bought this wireless router from a buddy at work who just bought a new one. I figured it was good enough for what I needed and set about setting it up.
First of all it did not like my DSL. God knows why but I could not get the two of them to play well together for anything....

why thankye. went to a club last night in that. it was fun. i didn't get hit on, but i felt good.
lyris:
haha. my friend said i should have just gone up to guys and said "so when are you going to buy me a drink" but i'm shy. some people seemed like they were looking, but, nope, no hitting on me. i'm apparently really unapproachable. we went to this newish place down town called Pala. they play techno and have tvs showing the fashion network. it's funny. but the dj is fucking incredible.
God has it been that long since I posted???
Well let's see, just had the girls family over for dinner. I have mixed feelings about that but it was important to her. I was not sure if the wisdom of having her family over when we seem on the verge of the end...
it is her birthday this week also.
Job interview tomorrow. Not sure...

Understood. Well my intentions are honorable. I'm not looking for anything. That's why that guy stormed off. Well.. I wouldn't want anything with him even if I was looking... but whatever.
sluttygoodgirl:
Hey cutie 
That must have been weird to have the girls parents there if it's not really going anywhere.......does she know it's on it's last legs too?
I hope your job interview went well today
I have a place where you can hide out and lay low

I have a place where you can hide out and lay low Dad's day. The whole family came over this morning and I cooked breakfast for everyone and then I cleaned for every one..

btw, having fun, getting sweaty and pushing you around sounds heavenly
lyris:
hey. i was out of town visiting my dad who just had heart surgery. on the way to the airport i forgot my purse at the MAX and some guy found it and called my parents using my phone and said he had it. when i got ahold of him, he asked me for fifty bucks and i told him i was a student and that i don't have that kind of money, but could i get him a drink when i got back into town. he said that because he was SUCH a nice person (because this OBVIOUSLY couldn't be expected of the average human) that he would return it to reed because he found my student id. But he never did. when i got back two nights ago, my car was gone. the police said it had been towed and when i picked it up there was nothing in it (i had just brought a load of things from my old house to my new and hadn't unpacked before leaving). the doors were open but nothing was damaged except that change tray which had been ripped out. so it looks like the guy found my car by driving around and looking for cali plates and the make and model that was on the valet key. Sweet. i don't care much about my stuff, but it's such an invasion and it really freaks me out.
so... can we take that ride and get that drink soon?

I think I like all the items in the new setup and it is obvious that a lot work has gone into this but I just do not know if I have the time/energy right now to sort it all out.

Yes, I think I now understand the meaning of the term "mystery-meat navigation." 
Time is indeed a precious commodity. Boy, howdy!
Hope things are good on the homefront.

Been wondering where my depost check from my rental was. I moved out almost a month ago and worked my ass off to clean that place spotless.
Just got a call from my landlords today. They had an emergency and had flown down to San Diego and have not been back to Portland since I moved out.
Said they were sorry and asked for my...

I watched some of my favorite show today, I had forgotten how that show resonates with me and really makes me look back in on myself.

Let's see. Garage storage is in place and garage well organized. It is a beginning. More to add in the future but I am content for now.
The Garage Door Opener saga. Choices... either I add another panel to my garage door to bring the wheel bearing up to the point in the rails where I can use a standard opener.

And it sounds like things are coming together nicely with your new house, I'm so glad for you! I know how long you waited, and saved and looked around. Good choice!

That sucks about the garage door opener! I hope you can find something that works, garage door openers are so nice to have.

Well, from what I know of the rather eccentric Monsieur Henri Rousseau (the artist that did the painting in my journal), he was a product of the Industrial Revolution -- though he seemed pretty fixated on the "exotic orient" and Africa. Whatever his intention, the painting is just plain WEIRD...in a lovable sort of way.
You're right, though...smokestacks just DO NOT jibe with our modern sensibilities. (Unless you live in New Jersey, of course.)
Yeah, GOTTA have blinds! What will the neighbors think!?!
