coworkers coming over later tonight to play a chinese knock-off version of monopoly. i kind of loathe the game, actually, but my curiosity to find out whether or not mao was on the fake money won out.

what are some of the best sets on sg in, say, the past 6 months? i haven't really been keeping up with them.

i've been wanting to do more art lately, but my regular subject matter (landscapes) has just been depressing me lately, since frankly i haven't been anywhere beautiful in a long time, and looking at photos of beautiful places just makes me sad,...

I would go mad for a day spent just about anywhere in Portland. Coffee and browsing at Powell's is a classic that still delivers, beers at Concordia Ale House and Belmont Station, and wandering around until bedtime at McMenamin's Kennedy School. . .

Hellooooooo

I've been away from SG for an aaaaage... but now that I'm back, I see that you've kept me on your friends list. May I say hello and restart our friendship? How is life with you? -The_Rev

things that keep me up at night:

-coffee past 6-ish
