I went to PDX last weekend to see peoples. I went shopping all day on Friday with my friend Lisa. We found the coolest store on N Dekum and N Interstate called Alex Sandra's. It is women's vintage clothes. I got two really cool dresses. You need to check it out. The owner is a blast. We had so much fun trying on stuff.

Two highlights of the day so far. First I was in an Apple store way out east in Santan Village, looking at headphones when suddenly a giant light brown spider comes crawling out from under the display racks. It was a good 4" around with it's legs all curled up! I resisted the urge to scream like a little girl, and pointed it out to a nearby staff member, who promptly did scream like a little girl ;-)

Secondly I discovered a cool new English pub called Shakesperes. So far Im liking it, sat here blogging and enjoying a Malibu & coke while waiting for my curry to arrive. If it wasn't sunny and hot outside I could almost be back in blighty...

Later Addendum: The curry was good, really good. Like 'couldn't finish it so got a to-go box for the rest' good, something I never normally do. Yum

Just signed up for a long, intensive series of sessions with a local chiropractor. I've had a lot of neck pain lately which a couple of X-Rays revealed to be some nasty shenanigans from the vertebrae in my neck. Basically my once straight neck is now a pretzel thanks to years of staring at computer screens... with some possible help from some bad snowboarding tumbles I took a decade back. So the next month of my life I'm going to be spending 3 evenings a week getting my bones cracked, my shoulder muscles pushed back into their correct positions, and rocking in weird chairs with my neck in a noose - kinda fun actually, I feel like a kid again! Lets hope it works :-)
