Will: make a shell company and farm it out under a false identity. Tyler Durden level shit.
Chris: Haha, when brainstorming company names in 2003, Paper Street Soap Company was on the list. But 5,219 people and their moms beat me to it.

FaceTime on Jessica’s new iPad

Chris: Must decide which device to FaceTime with…
Jessica: I know right. We are douchebags

Home away from home

Today’s office: Super Jet

Surrounded by mugs full of coffee, racks full of wine and cases full of cheese. In other words: Not really a change of scenery from my home office.

The previous night, I set an alarm on my laptop to give myself ample time to prep for a meeting. But the alarm isn’t the boss of me — I wake up well before it goes off. My biological clock is bigger than yours.

I’m in the zone: A serious man, ready for serious business.

At a nearby coffee shop, I get a large cup. These are serious times. 8oz cups don’t pay the bills. 8oz cups are for laggards on vacation. 8oz cups are causing the collapse of capitalism. I get the large.

After thorough investigation, the best table for conducting serious work is selected. I open my laptop. Sparing no second — As if it senses the seriousness of the situation, the screen lights up instantly.

Then the alarm goes off. The one I forgot to disable. FutureSex/LoveSounds plays. At max volume. The music floods through the coffee shop, for what feels like a lifetime.

After her mom.” —Anonymous

Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in downtown Portland. My first time seeing one of my favorite artists! Two weeks ago, I saw Fiona Apple at the same venue. A good month for great music.

Will, me & bourbon

His version of my donut disaster. Dug this up after seeing his “Chris Rhee pose” photo yesterday.

Mary, Will, Tatyana & myself with Corey’s shirt as the backdrop

From January 2012 @ Beulahland. After Corey & Mary’s recent departure, I’m now the only one from these photos still in Portland. The last man standing. Keeping the dream alive is a lofty but lonely pursuit…

@vickysecret: Cheated on my 2-day juice detox with a couple vegan marshmallows. Woops.

Chris: I think there’s a vegan pirate strip club here. I’ll take you to all the hot spots.
Victoria: Oh, shit. I’ll bring the marshmallows!
Chris: Are you vegan?
Victoria: Not at all. Those vegans just make a mean marshmallow.
Chris: I’ll have to try one. One pound. A day. Forever.
Victoria: I wouldn’t even judge you. I promise.
