I became a CEO today.

This is a photo of my friend Eleanor, another prominent Portland business leader, and me before our high-stakes business meeting in which we discussed very important business things.

This was my favorite joke that isn’t a joke… The Earth is actually important.

In a weird way, especially with the Reiner boy involved… I felt like a meh-funny good plot for what it is (now) comedy as a whole addressed issues in a way that has not been seen since the Smothers Brothers, much if which was written by that nice Reiner boy.

Good job, guy who makes movies for a living. Dare to dream!!

DO NOT SEE IT IN 3D IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO CGI OR 3D.

I am writing to you from a bar next to the theater, trying to focus on stable objects to lose the dizziness and motion sickness. Today is my friend’s birthday, this was the outing… And I was looking forward to said outing for a month. I have been psyched for this sequel since it went into production.

I barely made it 30 minutes. I took the glasses off for minutes at a time to just see it blurry bc I thought it would make it better. I ended up having to leave. Like leave leave wait for my friends leave.
UPDATE: According to my friend who now times *everything* on her new ladies’ Timex Ironman watch**, I only made it to 18 minutes.

:(((((

Learn from me. JJ Abrams’ lens flaresTM and 3D do NOT mix, especially if you are an Old.

**I wore that watch to my boyfriend’s prom in 1995 because we could keep a running countdown of how long we had until prom was over.

I love this city. Noordvick is a pretty neat town, too. And Edam. I sure do like the Netherlands.

Deep Thoughts: The Perfect Crime

Thu, 16 May 2013 15:11:35 -0700

Ollie and I have been watching a lot of Fringe lately and it dawned on me that I probably wouldn’t have left NYC when I did in the other world and thus get the chance to adopt him. So if I traveled to the other universe and brought back other Oliver (Fauxliver?) I could have two perfect pups and other universe me wouldn’t be sad, but instead, probably high-five me. I bet she has more bylines than I do, but whatever. I’d have two dogs. (Unless she got stuck in amber or some horrible vortex.)

Eats, Blogs, Pets:

One woman’s journey out of a singular food desert

THAT’S ME!!!!

Sorry if my checks on functionality spammed everyone who is following me with my very new and narcissistic food blog. I’m relearning how to cook for myself (though Ollie does taste tests and ratings) while learning how to garden (with the intention of eating things that I grow).

The main goal of this is to make myself create new or interesting meals and not get takeout or delivery. I used to be amazing at cooking, but weird hours and whatnot kind of killed the momentum. Plus, until recently, my refrigerator was only good for freezer burn, wilting vegetables and chilling drinks.

Ideally this will turn into a GOOP-type lifestyle blog for web types, shut ins and insane dog moms, but right now I’m just excited that nothing has caught on fire (yet). We’ll work on $980 shot glasses in a month or two.

My Portland neighborhood’s “Have a Toy, Give a Toy” puppy program reached its apex on Wednesday when a stuffed Oliver appeared on our lawn.

My mom's birthday

Mon, 06 May 2013 22:36:42 -0700

Mom: So I got a cake from the Bottle Barn...
Me: Huh? What?
Mom: A case. I got a case of wine.
Me: Oh I thought you said you got a cake. This makes a lot more sense.
Mom: Who wants cake? (Besides your father.)
Me: Right? Gross.... I wish I could have a case for MY BIRTHDAY.
Mom: Boo hoo, too bad. You have to live in Portland.
Me: At least I don't have to buy my husband a cake.

““Well I guess that’s one less bar that you’ve been kicked out of in New York…””

(This may be my favorite ever. Algonquin Table levels of perfection.)
