Friday I had off from work for "Spring Holiday". That was pretty cool. Slept in, did some laundry, went to the library to pick up some books and went grocery shopping ( Read more... )

So, back on March 5th I started at my new job. It's kind of been a whirlwind the last couple of weeks and I haven't had time to put anything down except for my book tallies. The first three days consisted of a lot of meetings, time spent one-on-one with my new boss, and meetings with my new coworkers / team. I was also given the gift of shorter ( Read more... )

He said he'd have to watch that sometime... and I countered that I owned a copy of the DVD, and offered a film fest with a showing of Shawn of the Dead too ( Read more... )

The only one playing at the closest theater to home, that I was interested in seeing was The Prestige. It was excellent! So many twists and turns, and the performances by all the actors were amazing. Definitely recommend it if you have a ( Read more... )

Saturday, A and I went to a political forum with our Senator and our State House Representative. Senator Ron Wyden and Rep. Jeff Merkley (also House Minority Leader). It was interesting because the first hour or so, was spent on having everyone stand up and name their top priority for the state and for the nation. There were a lot of agreement on ( Read more... )

Didn't hear from him at all this afternoon to set up the get-together. At around 5 PM, I was totally wiped from being out in the heat to the library and back, so I crashed for a nap. Napped from 5 to 7:30 PM and feel much better ( Read more... )

I've got one extra ticket/pass for a sneak preview of "The Lake House" tomorrow night at Lloyd Center Cinemas (the one inside the mall). The show starts at 7 PM, but per usual, you have to show up early to make sure you can get a seat. I'm planning on going straight there from work, and possibly getting something from the mall food court. Extra ( Read more... )
