Technically, the one in Portland is called Pioneer Courthouse Square. Yeah, the first time I heard just "Pioneer Square" re Portland, I thought, "Hey! I thought Seattle was the one with the Pioneer Square!" Boy was I wrong. Apparently it serves about the same function as the one in Seattle, though; it's the downtown meeting place for drunks, panhandlers, etc. Ah, life in the big city....
Moody, moody. I've been wandering around in an inexplicable melancholy all day. Circling Capital Hill, listening to Lovage. Saw the always beautiful SarahJane for an all too brief moment and then proceeded to El Greco where my good friend Skye fed me pizza and Ginger Drops, and a Cucumber Mojito and began to fill me with gladness. Then downtown to see a small bite of... Read More
Yeah so, life is good. Thankyou, life, for being that way sometimes.
So I read my cat the story of the Frogs in the Well and the Skylark, and you know something; I don't think he learned much from it. The moral of this anecdote? No one learns what they're not going to learn. But I learned something from this reading. And that is the... Read More
My new second job rocks. They liked me, I liked them, the whole place seems pretty cool. I'm happy with it and I figure I'll be challenged for a little while at least. Time to commence the contented sighing.
Thursday is my first day at the Garage. That's on Capital Hill, but then again, you knew that. Feeling frisky? Stop by and say hello. Me, I'll be in the kitchen learning how they do things at 6:00PM or so. Will I be shooting the pool or swigging the drinks when the kitchen closes? Most likely.
I start the first of my two new jobs today, right after work. I think. Amelie is playing at the Fremont Outdoor Movies this Saturday, it's been awhile since I've seen that movie so I'm going to go and check it out.
So the guy I was going to bail out says his kitchen manager hired someone but he wants to keep me on the... Read More
I was going to write a bunch of stuff, but then I realised: why? It's not like what I type will be equivalent to what I mean. That rarely happens, so instead I'll sign off with the assessment that I'd rather be dumb and happy than intelligent and bitter.
Well, seeing as how I've been offered two jobs in the last three days on top of the one I already have, I might not be around too much in the near future (I know, I know, I'll be so missed ) But I'll be sure to save some of my money so that when I do have time to spend with people, I'll have...

Hi, I've been out of the loop for awhile, so I thought I would
stop by to say Hi. Still between apartments right now, but I hope
that will change soon. Once school starts i hope to have a
new computer up and running. It sounds like things are going well
with you, keep it up.
I'm having a little trouble recalling the vents of last night. How do these things happen? Oh wait, it must have been the alcohol. I'm pretty sure I just got a new job when I ran into a couple guys I used to know. I found out one the regulars at my pub is the same guy that used to date my good friend's sister.... Read More
