P.O.T.D. #14

In honor of my upcoming visit to Portland, an old photo of my dude Brandon. We probably hopped the fence into the cemetery later that night. 06/2004, I think.

한국에서 인사말! (Greetings from Korea!)

So our friend Micah came back for a visit for the first time in 2 years. He's been teaching English to adorable Asian children and embracing the culture...riding around (illegally) on a scooter and travelling that part of the world. Anyway, since I picked him up from the Megabus I was given some special gifts from Seoul. Here's a sampling...

These are Silkworm Pupae (?). Apparently people boil or fry these up as a snack. Micah said they kind of explode in your mouth. Gross, dude. I wasn't brave enough to try it.

He also gave me a pack of Hot Squid Jerky. I did try this and it was pretty gnarly. Way spicier and hard to chew than our jerky, but cmon, they're dehydrated squid legs.

Last and most awesome, I got a bottle of Soju! Soju is a distilled liquor that tastes similar to vodka, but a little bit sweeter. Shared among groups of people, it's drunk straight up as a shot. Since it's usually only 20% alcohol content, these people drink several (seriously, a lot) bottles. After sharing some shots with friends, I just poured mine on the rocks and finished it. Gom Bae!

So thanks, Micah. It was good to see you again.

They just released a new album called "1372 Overton Park" that I have to check out. Matty? Thoughts on it?

My friend d.kine being unimpressed by people he knows in a city he's left.
@Orchard Inn, Summer 2008

Rainy Day in 503.

So far, Portland is the best spring break (SPRING BREAAAKKKK!) I could've asked for. All of my favorite people that were transplanted here are showing me a great time & the city itself has a great feel to it. I've been non-stop, & while I brought 5 rolls of film, these are the only photos I've taken...

Sooo Meaty!

Not much to talk about...
except that I'm only going to see Joel McHale live tonight.
No big deal.



I feel like such a fangirl right now.

Under water viewing.

Like I've said before, I think Lomo cameras can be pretty fun. But I've decided to stop wasting film because the only time I think they come out well enough is at parties. Then again, I'm not a photographer.

pictures of you.





**Lynn, I'll get the one's from Turtle Island soon!
