?? no word?

I'm visiting a friend in Portland this weekend. What all should I do...where to go...touristy?...locals?...bars?

I like the Pink Floyd. I can watch the Wall over and over and over.

Blixa Bargeld and Jarboe?! Damn, I hope they come to New York!

Such a great quote... I used to collect Sandman comics some years ago. I should take them out and re-read them!

Oh, how I would marry him. I just finished "American Gods".

creepy indeed. so, how is your rainy season going?

that song rules.

Sooo not funny! Why am i laughing though? Must be my other half.

Well, regardless, you're a doll, and so is she, and her too.

Hmm. I think starbucks is wearing you down emotionally.

what a great band.

nuff said.

America is a fantastic place. Where else can the guy who serves you coffee make the rough equvilant of four dollars an hour while the guy ordering the coffee heads off to an office to rack up billable hours in the neigborhood of four-hundred dollars an hour?

It makes me laugh when people explain the risk elements of captailism to me and how that justifies the offset in rewards. I like to point out how are nightclub's slowing down coming off the summer and my pay feel by about a hundred bucks a week because of schedule cuts. I'm sure not one of the owners is having any problems making their bills this month.

Ah, I bitch, but honeslty, I love captailism. And I'll love it even more if I can ever get myself one of these. Triple blacked with dub rims and tinted windows. Ah, yes.

The great thing about captailism, and one of it's few saving graces, is that you can easily jump from making a hundred and fifty bucks a week to four or five if you know where to jump. It's tricky, but captailism does often reward people who do have some drive and intelligence and- unlike communism- doesn't pretend that we're all equally incompetent and deserve to be treated the same. Captalism at least allows stand out people to be rewarded better than thsoe who don't stand out. Sadly, it also rewards those that aren't stand out but born to a family that had an extremely stand out patriarch eight hundred and a half years ago. But, what can you do?

I know your pain! I'm a Charbucks university graduate myself. Once in a while I'll have discussions with folks at work about the new Super Sprawl Mart goin in in Gresham and how much I hate that damn company and they just don't get it. Companies like that are pushing for a race to the bottom that affects everyone. One lady says she doesn't even thinks about that stuff then just spouts off some bs like, well those people in the other counries manufacturing our cheap goods need those jobs. I just had to stop the conversasion right there cause we have to work together. But I bet she would never work a full day of work for enough money to buy a bag of top ramen and a pepsi to feed her family. Anyway......hope everything else is going good.

yeah its a pretty lame place.

I think you are being silly. Look around! Think of how many other coffee shops there are in this hyper-caffienated city. Get a new job, girl!

I'm sooooo glad I'm not german!

Then again I'm part German, shat, my grandpas name is wilhelm shakols, that's pretty f'n german sounding to me. So I guess I'm just happy I don't live in germany.
