WANT/NEED.

I am in talks with a friend of mine about our up and coming bike gang.  Looks like the only rules are that you have to be a total babe and cannot have a mustache.  sorry dude friends with mustaches, but srsly. not cute anymore.  i am over this phase of hipsterness. also, not cute anymore?  fake ass glasses.  can you please stop it?  god, it's so annoying.  i thought that trend went away when weezer broke up, but alas ...

anyway, the point of my tangent is that to be in our gang you have to be hot. you can also have drop handlebars, but it is not required. however, if you do decide to have this style of handlebar, it has to be these. because they are hot and also because my favorite movie in the world is do the right thing.  how can you not love that joint? especially radio raheem's monologue.  classic.

death spray custom are the makers of nitto tracks bars.  holla.

moving photos.

this guy is so neat! he put together this video montage of stills taken, the effect is amazingness.  pulsating, photographic amazingness. 

theo tagholm the rest of his site is pretty swell, also.

vibe time.

when are cl smooth and jazzy jeff going to do an album together?  cuz it would be magicalness.

i hope you love this song as much as i do. 

hello.goodbye.

horay.  it's the day before new year's eve!  excitement abounds. 

this is my favorite time of year because it's an excuse to dress up, drink champagne and celebrate the end of the year.  you have no excuse to not participate.  i will be spending tomorrow evening with folks at the someday lounge to catch PPP and it will be magicalness.  guaranteed.

after work i plan to go buy some delicious champagne.  and I have tomorrow off, which makes tomorrow even more fabulous.  i plan on squeezing one more trip to the thrift store in honor of 2009.  and also cuz the jacket i've been eyeballing at the stupid downtown goodwill turned out to cost 75 bux.  seriously.  this is not ebay, goodwill.  jesus christ.  anyway, they smashed my dreams of a cute wool coat for tomorrow nite.  haters. 

2009 was stupid.  good riddance.  hello 2010. 

i really wanted to make a list of favorite things from this year, but this week has been super lame at work so i have had the time to do much about that. who cares. 

so here is a list of stuff i like at the moment.  hasn't changed much i'm sure since my last favorite list.

1. tanuki
2. charles shaw
3. dinosaurs
4. outerspace
5. waffles
6. pizza
7. summertime (cuz i miss it)
8. sparkles
9. goodwill

i can't think of ten right now.  maybe cuz i need some coffee.  mmmm ... coffee.

10. coffee.

alright kids.  meet me at my house tomorrow evening for delicious champagne and possible trader joe's deliciousness.  fatty is going to the store right now in his furry pants and snow boots. 

wakey wakey, eggs and bakey!

oh my goodness, people? what's new?  what did you eat for lunch today? i just ate a delicious tiny avocado sando.  it was pretty good. 

what a long weekend.  i think it would have been better if someone didn't steal my goddamn duvet cover from the laundry room.  who does that? i live in the same damn building. people irritate me.  this was made even more obvious by the fact that someone stole from me where i live.  shitheads. 

then this morning i was up for no reason at all at 3:30.  at first i thought it was the return of t-rex, but then i realized it was just a nightmare that he did return.  where is that guy anyway?  who cares. as long as i can live without him for a couple days, i'm a-okay.  oh.  back to my original gripe.  when you have to get up very early ... in fact, when it is too early to be alive one must compromise with the elements.  a while back good ol' anna sent me a link to someone's fun website with all sorts of fun stuff on it that i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed.  one of which was a damn bacon alarm clock!  it sent my heart aflutter.  it really did. 

so basically you wake up when you don't want to, but wait!  there's a surprise!  delicious bacon waiting for you! how sweet. wake n' bacon!!

this is me at the crack of dawn:

 ... what's this?  what's going on over thar?

oh! hello.  there it is.  the bacon surprise.  how sweet.

here's why the clock was made!  it's quite touching, actually:

"No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish."

true story!  i've never seen any jewish people eat bacon.  well, actually i did but they shall remain nameless ...

now, as a side note: when you write 'wakey wakey, eggs and bakey' is that how you spell it? i've always been curious about that.  it's really the type of thing you have to say out loud to get.

also, i want to note that when i first saw this curious feat of alarm clock/breakfast machine it made me happy.  it must have gotten very popular in the last month cuz it was featured on a bunch of websites.  holla!  those boys is s.m.a.r.t.

oooh.  you know what's also exciting?  new year's eve!  horay!  PPP is joining us from detroit at the fix!  i might fall over and die from excitement.  i've been looking forward to this nite for a very, very long time.  plus lifesavas are opening.  it's going to be so live!

content.

i am so excited to attend content '09 on sunday nite. i didn't make it to any of the shows for fashion week. it's okay though, because i think at this point fashion weeks in general can be so generic. every city has a fashion week. bravo. the only ones that really matter aren't here. let's be real. i'm excited that how we develop is putting this on because i think it's really a great reflection of portland style events. funtimes.

CONTENT 09

party time on saturday nite at sara's!  i'm going to wear something ridiculous and drink champagne straight from the bottle.  oh yes!
