downtown haircut?
Hey people.. so I have some considerable time to kill between getting off work downtown at 5 and the Decemberists show... I was thinking of squeezing in a haircut since I haven't had one in ages. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced/good place in the Pioneer Square vicinity? That will cut my hair after 5? Thanks. And please don't mention Heath Ledger in your response or I might snap. :)

Hello everyone!

I'm trying to move out of the 'burbs later this year and it looks like I (barely) qualify for some of the income-restricted apartments in downtown.

My question for you all is: has anyone lived in one of these buildings and if so, how did you like it? Also, what happens if you get a raise and it knocks you over the limit? Because I'm so close that it's bound to happen within a year, and I don't want to move in only to have to move out.

Thank you very much for any info. :)

I know you guys are sick of hearing about Heath Ledger, but... This is worth the laugh.

*sigh* idiots

Anyone else living near UP hear that crazy loud noise last night? Around 4-4:30 am. It sounded sort of like an airplane flying low, but really steady (it didn't get louder or quieter as if a plane were passing overhead) and lasted for half an hour or so. Something from Swan Island, maybe? It was really weird.

Powell's Getting Bigger?
On the local news there are reports that Powell's Books is going to add two stories to its downtown store.  That's all well and good but how are they going to do this?  Are they so overflowing with books that an expansion is necessary?  I wonder if it would just be easier to build another store elsewhere.  If or when this happens, expect a whole lot of congestion and confusion.

where's your favorite place to people-watch on the east side or downtown?
i like a variety of people.

bonus points if i don't have to buy something to look out a coffee shop's windows.

Alice, where are you?

The [info]sistermaryeris and [info]drjeff households will soon be joining forces. We're talking five kids, here! As a result, we are going to be in need of some HELP.

We're looking for someone who can be available on Mondays to pick up a 6th grader at school (NE Portland, Gateway area, at 2:15) and do some light housecleaning for a couple of hours either before or after that. So, you could do 12-3, 2-5, whatever worked best for you. There may be other things cropping up during the week, too (errands! kid rides! etc.!), but Mondays are essential.

I realize that chauffeuring a 6th grader and cleaning someone else's house is not everyone's cup of tea, but I've had so much luck here in the past finding awesome babysitters, etc. that I thought I'd give it another try! If you've got a few free hours, some flexibility, and a need for a couple hundred bucks a month, reply here in comments or email me at drjeff at gmail.

Thanks!

Movie Madness
So what does everyone think of the Movie Madness remodel? I like the marquee. How long ago did that happen? I haven't been there in a while...
