Wow. Is that your misshapen, fake boob that just slapped me in the back of the head, Meth Mouth Stripper Lady?
Wow. Are you in my lap now? Now, when my male companion has gone to the potty, is when you decide to land on me? When I am defenseless?

I ate my 40th birthday dinner here. I spent the entire meal in full swoon. The service, the food, the atmosphere and most of all - the company.
Thank you for fixing turning 40 all better.

This weekend I visited SF to run the first annual Giant Race, half marathon version, with the friend who informed me I was capable of such distances a couple of years ago. That conversation went something like this:

I BUY NOW - GO GET MAMA A TEN.

In the last few years, I have come to the conclusion that I live on the West Coast and I am stationed in Seattle. I have easy access to, people to see, and things to do, in every major city destined to fall into the Pacific Ocean. I hit SF, SD, PDX,…More »
Um.....there was like no, organic, bulk wall of nuts and seeds for me to buy and snack on at the beach all day. I had to buy raw almonds in the baking aisle and the total cost was somewhere in the vicinity of $12K.
There was also no, like, organic…More »
I am going to be 40....someday.
That day seems to be closing in on me now. Most of my oldest friends are getting there before me, and this past weekend the first of my high school era girlfriends tripped the switch. Honestly, I think it was far more…More »
Internal Monologue of the Early AM: The Misanthrope Stage.

I was born from Steve L.'s head as was Athena from Zeus. It was really gross. I am told the process of replacing his brain in his cranium was exhaustive. Thankfully, he was able to recuperate without any ill effects and bestow upon me his unique…More »
What's not to like about this airport?
How incredibly small it is for being "international"? Nah - very charming. Especially if your flight is delayed and you have to entertain a two year old for three plus hours. Circling around the tiny terminal…More »

Wow - that's a big fucking chair in the lobby isn't it?
Since this hotel just oozes sexy, my mind wandered to dirty, dirty places with regard to that chair the moment I walked into the lobby. The dark lighting, the night club atmosphere in the…More »
My father is 6'4", 195 pounds of bad ass. He always has been and he always will be. He used to do things like run around Green Lake three times and then go sit at Kelly's on Queen Anne where he would smoke an entire pack of Camels and have a few…More »

So I stayed here once, and enjoyed it. The location, the Starbucks right downstairs, the funny concierge guy that would share stories from various tabloids with me as I came and went through the lobby, etc...
The place was clearly once a much less…More »
In my job, I am Canada's bitch. My security and happiness rides on the whims of a fickle bureaucracy, security levels, exchange rates, and passport issues. The one weapon I have against this arsenal of uncertainty and global issues over which I have…More »

Every time we get down to PDX to visit the in-laws we have breakfast here. I am always happy.
This last time we were a party of 12 with two small kids and 4 big 'uns. They put us in that backroom all by ourselves - nice. Had it all set up for us…More »

Oh dear God how I love this place. I love Orcas Island as it is, I could sleep on a bench in Moran State Park and be reasonably happy - but the Inn at Ship Bay is like floating on a cloud through Dlight heaven.

I really dig this little boutique hotel - it's sort of off the beaten path, but on within walking distance of the Pearl, great restaurants on 23rd and, as the name might suggest, easy access to the street car. It is a very quiet location, which I…More »
I'm a big old fan of lavender. It's great to look at in a Sideshow Bob of plant life kind of way (although the Hawthorne Tree holds the top spot here and always will), it's scent is clean and comforting and it tastes good - I love eating flowers.

I love the San Juan Islands. You probably wouldn't like them. The desolation, being in the rainshadow, all that fresh air. Eww. And you would especially hate this place. What's to like?
