Photos are all mine. 🧡 Portland 🧡 Books, bikes, photos, dogs, donuts, but that's not my whole personality. I don't fix typos. I'm careless that way. Resist! Persist! Insist!

A still from the movies Xanadu of two people roller skating through fog. Its gorgeous. Perfect. Evocative of a simpler time when Gene Kelly was my crush.

This time you've gone too far, spelling bee!

Screen cap of the NYT spelling bee telling me that Xanadu is not a word, when yes it fucking it. ONJ is looking down from Heaven, in her roller skates, very disappointed.

Soooo beautiful. I lived in Austin, where they are abundant, and their shrill noises make your teeth hurt, and I still loved them even then.

I like your initiative but there is no way I'm letting go more books in this house. My "to be read" pile is very tall.

Hired some local muscle to enforce the "no soliciting" rule.

A big fucking orb weaver with a web spun across the upper left quadrant of a front door entryway. A sign on the door says, "no soliciting."
