...are for dummies.




That is all.

Dear Portland Weather,

This is an intervention. We all love and care about you. We like that you keep the plants green and the trees growing. We enjoy the scattered sunbreaks in the summer time. We enjoy the month-long bouts of rain. We are worried about you, which is why we are writing this letter. This morning, we in the Raleigh Hills area woke to snow falling. This can mean only one thing: you've stopped taking your medication again.

Please, let us finish. This is as hard for us as it is for you.

We know that you want to feel normal. We know that you feel like you can go without your antipsychotics. But it's not winter anymore, especially here. Please start taking your lithium again. We wouldn't want to see you end up in one of the state hospitals with an IV in your arm -- we know what poor shape they're in these days.

Your friends,

The damnportlanders

I call this game Craigslist Hide & Seek.

( Here's how it works: )

I'm "it" this round and will do the seeking. Next round, it's someone else's turn.

Who's in?

I've got an interesting story for all of you. I'll take the time to cut and paste the text later, but here it is for now, in link form:

Below is a picture of a lady spinning. Don't stare at the lady -- focus on her movement. Is she moving clockwise or counterclockwise?
( Inside )

Poll #1073619 Clockwise or Counter Clockwise
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All

Which way is the Dancer turning?

If you see her move clockwise, your right hemisphere is dominant.
If you see her move counter-clockwise, your left hemisphere is dominant.
If you see both, you're pretty balanced.

I'm 46%/54% and I can only see her spin clockwise.

If you don't get this, you can't be my friend anymore.

Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes
The Rolling Stones - Beast of Burdon, Can't Always Get What You Want
Johnny Cash - Folsom Prison Blues
Bad Company - Bad Company
Aerosmith - Dream On
The Beatles - Come Together, Strawberry Fields
Simon and Garfunkel - The Boxer
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb

I'm open to other suggestions as well.

Some people like to say that rain is God crying. I like to think of it more as God sneezing.


Hail is when boogers come out.


ETA: Wait -- God is Perfect. Does He even get boogers?

My wife just wiped the baby's mouth, thinking that The Pea was spitting out some of the Frosty we'd been feeding her. She used her fingers and then promptly licked them off.

It was not Frosty. It was baby puke.

That's right. My wife just ate some of my daughter's spit up.

Just saw this comic and had to share. I swear this is what I think about while lying in bed at least once a month.

( Cut for Language. You've been warned. )

E: I've always liked Pomeranians...
W: (whispered in a "jock voice") Fluff Dog!
E: ...but I've heard they can be emotionally unstable.
W: Well, that's a lot of hair to keep their feelings under.

Serious theoretical question:
( If you had a time machine... )
Which would you choose? Why? What would you do while in a different time?

The scene opens with winter_in_asia sitting at his desk. Papers are strewn all about. Two sets of stacked trays hold papers of varying types: orders, old invoices, schedules, agendas. A mason jar filled with water and a former salsa container with a lone piece of pineapple sit to his right. The pineapple has a bite out of it.

He sits at his desk, typing up a faux script, based on what's going on around him. He sighs.

WINTER:

If mares eat oats, and does eat oats, and little lambs eat ivy, AND a kid'll eat ivy too, would I?

*pauses*

Ivy seems like it would be very bitter. Maybe in a salad with the right combination of greens and dressing?

Work is crazy today. It's as though everything that could go wrong, has.

But...

Happy Birthday Week... to me.
Happy Birthday Week... to me.
Happy BIIRRRTHDAY WEEEK... dear. me.
Happy Birthday Week... to me.
