I am passionate
about very few things, but
brunch is one of them.

I was tempted to
ditch the spoon and eat out of
the bowl like a trough.

And that burger just
happens to be between two
grilled cheese sandwiches.

Argh the rain. Forgive me, but it’s easier to stay home and work in Portland because I don’t feel like I’m missing any giant events. In New York I might be tempted to go out every night and sleep all day [...]
— Chuck Palahniuk in his Ask Me Anything reddit interview
My buddy Will Duncan — who used to live in Portland — messaged me with similar thoughts a few months back: “Work is easier when you live in a place with shitty weather, this perfect everyday Santa Cruz shit is killing me.”
Speaking as a kid from the Bay Area, a former Portland resident and a current Brooklyn wanderer who works from home: I concur.

A message to our Portland host
His last night visiting Portland, Steven drew the above cartoon at the house we were staying. An artistic gesture of gratitude: A lone Cactus-Boy, thanking our host, Sonia.
The only problem: Cactus-Boy’s glum facial expression could be misinterpreted. We certainly didn’t want Sonia to misunderstand or think we were weirdos.
Luckily, a simple annotation 100% fixed the potential weirdo vibe:
In hindsight we realized Cactus-Boy looks a bit sad. But that’s only because no one will give him a hug. We had a great time! Please don’t let Cactus-Boy’s sad face distract from that! He’s just lonely, and blowing up that heart balloon was probably really hard…
Seriously, we had an amazing time — So thanks!
That ought to clear things up and completely dissuade her from thinking we’re weirdos. Crisis averted. Problem solved. Mission accomplished.
Because for real, we had fun. Honestly. :(
I think I’ve been in every room now

I’m gonna name my kid Regina.
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.

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…

Pretty sure I had 7 lunches and 9 dinners in the three days she was here… In other words — Success!
Perfect mood for creating
