tuesday snoozeday

after wrestling with computer maintenance issues for a while, i decided that maybe a nice picnic was in order. i was in for a lazy one, as i've been cutting back on caffeine intake lately. it feels good. perhaps not quite as good as the high you get after drinking a non-fat venti no-whip double white chocolate mocha supreme (double-cupped with insulator), but still good.

first i headed to the g-spot to pick up some g's, mostly lunch-type items to get me through the rest of the week. backpack fully loaded, i shuffled on to the park. one of the better parts about portland is the never ending supply of park options. i picked a new one today, and it reliably provided for a phenomenal late-morning/early-afternoon. finished mem's of the geish (easily one of the top five books i've read), got mad sun, and took a nice power nap. you know those weird shapes you see when you stare into a bright sky through tightly closed eyelids? the ones that you can never focus on, and craftily shift just ahead of your every eye movement? well, i damn near caught one today. it's only a matter of time, ol' shapesie.

a diamond in the rough. i was all walking around the coop, wondering what the hell to buy when i saw the pastry section. i hadn't had a voodoo doughnut yet, and this gem cost the same as all the little ones! pretty much had me at hello.

enjoying the voodooie sweetness. i actually felt sick about 6/7 of the way through this ol' 'nut, but decided to press on. i used the classic "when's the next time you'll eat a voodoo doughnut" logic. plus i took a hellaride later in the afternoon.

so when i drop some line like "i'm living the dream", "life keeps getting better", or "give me a high five", perceive no jest. rest assured, i mean every word.

now, who wants a high five!? whoo!
