dude! all four lanes of the burnside bridge were open this morning for the first time in ... years it seems!

there were no construction trucks anywhere, no cement dividers blocking off lanes. it looked like a mirage at first because of the reflection of "big pink," but i really think they are done!

i got to work so fast today. that fact, combined with the sunshine and a clear view of mt. hood has made this a good morning so far.

:)

current state: good

Quick question. I'm trying to find a place that sells prints. Particularly surfing prints. If not, big waves even Woodie (with surfboards) on or near the beach would do. I've checked a few places but I was wondering if anyone knew of a place that might have these.

Thanks.

I need to get a pair of pants hemmed and I was thinking about taking it to DZ Tailors and Alterations because they seem to do a good job with my Diesel jeans. I was looking for more reviews of this plate online and everything was in the extreme highs or lows.

Anyone here have any experience with them? Or if you love your tailor, tell me who you use! Bonus for being in SE, downtown, or Lloyd Center area. And vegan.

Did anyone notice that there is a Cityscape:Portland LJ theme? This would make a great theme for damnportlanders dontcha think?

current place: OC, OR
current tunes: Lorette Lynn and Jack White - Portland, Oregon

please oh please let the new batman movie be finished

oh, and RIP heath

OMG did you hear Brokeback Mountain guy is dead?? FOR REALZ! ON DRUGS AND ALL NAKED IN MARY-KATE'S APARTMENT! Now the Batman movie is going to SUCK!!!1

Allan Melvin died last week and I did not hear a peep about it. I guess he wasn't young and pretty like Heath Ledger. He had way more of an impact on me than Heath Ledger did. Why did I not hear about this one?

If you heard a little "cha-cha" music in your head when you read the subject line, my work here is finished.

Meetup is tonight at 7pm at the East Bank Saloon! You DON'T need to be 21, you DON'T need to buy any food or drink unless you want to, and you DON'T even need to show up on time. HERE is the meetup faq.

See y'all there!

Okay, my buddy and I were just discussing the future of the joker in possible additional movies of the franchise, now that Ledger has kicked it (RIP). My opinion? I think doing a "Dumbledore" on the character would not suck at all. My defense? How many times do the appearances of a comic book character change? practically every damn time a new artist takes over. I think finding another actor to fill the shoes in the future, provided they did a good job, would not be a big deal at all.

What say ye?
