Wow, so I’m in Salem for the weekend et holidays – we had a big ole clan and FOUR KINDS OF PIE for dessert – that is what I call a Thanksgiving success.?? Looking into lots of cool jobs and companies to work for, but I just had an oh sh*t moment – some of… Continue reading chez les parents

I just have to say, I am in full agreement with the Craigslist best-of poster who gave women permission to actually go to the bathroom when in the bathroom [1]. I just came back from the stupidest, weirdest, strangest, and awkwardest (okay, most awkward, sheesh, incurred the wrath of the squiggly red lines) bathroom experience… Continue reading Should we start calling them ???uncomfortable silence rooms??? instead?

Man, I’m excited – I can’t wait for all the FOOD!?? I’m going to be cooking a large portion of the feast, and I sent my mom a shopping list yesterday.?? Yikes.?? This should be fun though – I’m going to completely wing it on stuffing AND sweet potatoes, since I’ve never really liked either… Continue reading almost turkey time!

The comments function works!?? I guess some dude on BlogTastic’s team saw my post about how I’m sticking with the crappy beta, and they fixed the comments function based on that post, and now it works!?? Hallelujah, it’s not just BlogTastic, it’s BLOGTACULAR! ??Now comment away, you imaginary readers you….

So, I was talking with my friend John this weekend (happy birthday again John) and long story short, after about half a pear cider at the Fishbowl in Olympia we decided that I’m going to start writing letters as a public service. Basically I was telling him about the letter I wrote about the 25… Continue reading FREE LETTERS!

Okay, so I just had an Awesome Lunchtime Experience. Here’s the breakdown: Yesterday I wrote a letter to Karl Bruno, who’s the head of Seattle’s 25 for 25 restaurant shindig that occurs every March and November [1], and I copied it to the managers at Wild Ginger, which SUCKS, and Union, which allegedly rocks but… Continue reading ??? for 25 – a call to action!
