What’s new?
1. I appreciate Picasso’s art now.
2. I drink beer, not liquor.
3. I want an iPhone or Blackberry because of the instant access to the internet.
4. See The Parallax View starring Warren Beatty.
5. I think about water drainage a lot.

Aunt Shaina took this photo outside the Hotcake House after Nia had stuffed her face inside. Butter was dripping off her chin and hands when she was done. I gagged a little watching her eat. She ate like a wild dog.

It's Nice to Be Nice to the Nice

Portland seems to have a disproportionate amount of middle aged women. Also, most of the people here act like middle aged women.

Website I wish existed

A Google map-like directory of apartments and houses where you can type in an address and get a list of names with pictures and personal histories of the people who have lived at that address going back to when the building was first occupied.

We’ll need thousands of researchers and millions of start-up dollars.

Name ideas?

So far, Chipotle makes the best burrito in Portland.

I’m taking an Intro to Drawing class here, http://www.drawingstudio.net/.
This is what I’ve learned so far. When drawing a face, you should not try to draw two eyes, a nose and a mouth. You should instead randomly scribble all over the paper until two eyes, a nose and a mouth appear.
Cavemen could draw!
