Chocolate cake and Beer
10.31.07 | Permalink | 1 Comment

When i got off work yesterday i had nothing to do. I could have gone down to the cafe, but i have not been feeling very social lately. as i pedaled past Beulahland… and then stopped and turned around. Beer and a quiet table to read at sounded like just the ticket for starting my night right.

when i walked in, i performed my typical once over of the place to see who was there. i was accosted by Samurai Shy. She was hangin’ with some of her boyos. bullshitted for a while.

finally dragged myself into a secluded corner and pulled out my book. beer of the night was the Cream stout that was on Nitro. ordered a piece of chocolate cake to go with it.

i sat in the bar for about two hours.

the night went downhill after that, what with having to clean my… Read the rest

i received a message today via stumble upon.

I do not know the individual, but they appear to be pretty spectacular. the desire to read their page is yet another reason to learn spanish. i should really get on that…

Mr Peterpunk is a great photographer.. i was blown away by the two photos that are attached to this post, they are fantastic and make me a little green with envy.

Suicide Bridge in portland oregon
10.30.07 | Permalink | 2 Comments

Suicide Bridge (Vista Bridge) has always been one of my favorite places in portland. With the exception of the high load of traffic that hurls itself across the bridge, it is a fairly perfect outlet for stress. It has a great view and a nice breeze. plenty of seats and is fun to throw things off of.

I got off work early on thursday and decided i would head up and read my book for a while. It was beautiful most of the day, intermittent fog and no rain.. this all changed when i got off work. drizzle.. and more drizzle. i would not havethe highlight of my day taken from me though. i jumped on my bike and pedaled across the river and up the hills. stopped at fred meyer for a pound of grapes as i went.

Once reaching suicide bridge, i… Read the rest

Thursday.

closed out Beulahland on thurday night with alex. too much beer and not enough pinball equaled not getting hope till late and still being drunk on friday when i woke up for work.

Friday

Playing pool and drinking a fantastic wine at uptown billiards. Suzuki, Athena, and Admiral Fubar are in close proximity as Athena decides to take a whirlwind bridge tour and hits nearly every portland bridge in a matter of an hour. very pleasant. 70′s rock accompaniment blast through the radio

Saturday

relaxation and book reading. coffee and conversation. sean picks me up and we head to a party being thrown by one of his long time buddys. matt and i talk, i remember why he and i are friends, this is nice as over the years, i had forgotten. crashed a party next door and met a woman named Jenn. she rocks a hell of a… Read the rest

Suzuki: “that is an amazing likeness on the card, and further evidence that [I] would look positively dashing in the right suit. [...] a way to support quitting cigarettes with high quality organic tabbacco, the way it is supposed to be smoked, on occaision.”

By Kate Holton

LONDON (Reuters) – Radiohead, one of the world’s most influential rock bands, plans to sell its new album from its Web site as a digital download and let fans choose what they want to pay.
