"It's just we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now."

after a weekend
of wanderlust discussions
monday really sucked

world heritage sites
are more fun to contemplate
than project planning

Bah humbug.

not happy about
christmas music already
can't they wait three days?

At least it was a local shop...

"buy nothing day" fail:
waterproof camera sale
how could i resist?

I can't believe I never thought of this.

things that make my day:
grilled peanut butter sandwich
with bacon, of course

Sorta late Friday five.

Five bands that rounded out November's musicpalooza, in no particular order:

• John Wesley Harding and the King Charles Trio - I would've loved more in his solo acoustic set, but it was really nice to see the other Decemberists get lost in some basic, old school rock. It looked like they were having a blast.
  
• We Were Promised Jetpacks -loud and tight, just like last time. Not loud but pretty amazing here.
  
• Bryan John Appleby - high quality sleepy indie pop. (Check out The Words of the Revelator especially.)
  
• Hey Marseilles - yes, again, and they were brilliant this time too.
• Noah and the Whale - SO. MUCH. FUN.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled evenings in... until December musicpalooza, anyway.

They had me at "starring Ryan Gosling."

Crazy, Stupid, Love. - It was like American Beauty, only funny... and with better cameos.

And don't get me started on "jeggings."

i don't get fashion
when did we stop wearing pants?
can we start again?

He's also very helpful.

things that make my day:
the eastern european
responding, "groovy"

Occupy my soggy socks.

for a rainy town
there are a lot of puddles
drainage 2012!

winter in portland
when i abandon all hope
for a good hair day

I did not write these during a rather irrelevant meeting. I didn't.

best part of my day?
realizing that new zealand
is ten weeks away

funny thing, this life
everything for a reason
noted, Universe

next aventura
follows sixteen months of work
... need to make that twelve

I hope his apology was begrudgingly delivered.

somehow i don't think
that mario batalli
will lose all that much
