i'm a bit hohum about thanksgiving this year. just one year i'd like to have the anti-traditional dinner replacing the ever popular turkey with dungeness crab cakes or tenderloins on the grill or roast beef and yorkshire pudding. what do you say friends? let's reserve next year's date NOW!

i'll be in the cattle cargo section of northwest flight #590/120 tomorrow. at least i won't be crammed in where they store the frozen felines.

here's wishing you the happiest of holidays. xo

as if my two steak meals yesterday weren't enough to send me full throttle into cardiac arrest - this morning my cell rang at 3.56am. i agreed to take a friend to the airport in exchange for a wake up call and her vehicle for the week. i guess it was worth it but there is a bit of guilt involved with driving another suv even if it is only for a mere seven days. i'm feeling like i'm driving jbyte's mac mobile. good news is i can get all my driving errands done including a book selling trip to the fabulous powells.

i'm heading to the place of my birth aka the land of the lost next week for thanksgiving. there's little to nothing to do there but at least i will be with my fabulous dad. happy thursday amigos.

i love you beefy, but i won't give you my trash.

i watched some prime time news show friday night and as a result all things teflon are now in the trash. yikes kids, follow the leader or be prepared to grow a third eye.

hungry? lazy? don't want to get your boots wet? order from portland's new delivered dish. if you are in the right zip code you can savor anything and everything from some sweet spots in ptown. i suggest the low carb grand platter from India Grill. mmmm meatkabobs. now if they could start delivering smokes and flicks they will be even cooler than kozmo.

my parents bought me the black version of this as an early christmas gift. thanks mom and dad!

after the king of all media the best way to resume a monday morning is this. happy monday kids!

the tree outside my west window turned burnt orange overnight...it's a splendid sight. oh how i love autumn!

the senate had a sleep in last night filibustering the night away over the judicial nominees. i wish someone would filibust a cap in a certain republican's ass.

starbucks has a new visa card and 1% of all things spent go directly to your starbucks card. so for every $200 splurge you get a free grande with room americano. hmph.

on another unrelated note, i saw the fish movie this weekend. even though it was animated and there was personification a plenty -- i absolutely adored it. the seagulls were my favorite.

yipee. i've caught my first really bad cold of the season. yesterday i spent about 10 minutes in the tissue isle finding the biggest box of tissues without lotion. why oh why did Kleenex decide to cover the majority of their tissues with slime?

on another note, kid rock covered bad company's "feel like makin' love" on his new album. it's fairly rocking.

dear makers of my beloved diet pepsi, you don't have to put anything in there to make your perfect drink any better -- certainly no squeeze of natural lemon flavor and especially not the dreaded drop of vanilla. i am eternally grateful for your new diet pepsi slurpee.

i walked up to visit my wonderful dentist this morning. he's a fabuloso dentist but he has an annoying predilection for waxing philosophical when he's got instruments in my mouth.

i caught the #8 to come into the office and realized that my route everyday is fareless. i've paid about three dollars a day for three months for what should have been a free ride. i blame it on the diet pepsi.

happy birthday to my favorite fellow diet pepsi drinker aka my grooviest gal pal's other half.

i love my morning routine. once i manage to get on the bus it is fairly typical. i arrive to work early, i tune into the king of all media, i go buy a grande americano with room and then saunter outside for a morning cigarette. today, while i was finishing my cigarette, a temporarily displaced man approached me and said, "if you are going to take names, you need to use a pencil." i said, "of course." then he asked me for a dollar. i gave it to him because rarely do i meet someone that understands just how valuable a trusty #2 can be.

i could not have said it better myself. this is genius.
