Did you know that Ramona the Brave is from Portland? She is. She lived on Klickitat Street and 33rd in what is now the toney neighborhood of Irvington. I would like to live in Ramona's house on Klickitat Street. Irvington is full of soccer moms, however, and i am afraid i would all of a sudden be infected with an overwhelming desire to have a great big pile of babies if i were surrounded by all of those strollers and minivans ...
... so i am focusing on buying a sweet little bungalow in my hipster neighborhood on mississippi avenue or in the soon to be hipster neighborhood of st johns. oh yes. it will have hardwood floors and a big old garden and clawfoot bathtubs and a giant gas range and elegant proportions not to mention the front porch ...
I have always wanted to live in a boon - ga - low.
What is YOUR pie in the sky? Write to me and tell me all about it.
if i liked being cold and going uphill,
boy, would i ever be all about going on a guided expedition or trek
with the kennicott guides in wrangell st. elias park ...
... but i'd rather be chasing whales around in the tropics. I will be paddling around Baja from January 28 - February 13 scritching curious baby gray whales on the back and hoping for a glimpse of one of those incomprehensibly huge blue whales.
Houses and visiting with the whales costs money, though. And since I STILL don't get paid just to be alive, putzing around and having adventures, I make websites and write stories.
I want to buy a boon-ga-low and I want to play with the friendly whales in the sunshine.
Maybe mah jofus will sell enough cupholders to buy us a house and fly us to all of the remote corners of the earth to frolic with those big fun cetaceans whenever we feel like it.
Maybe Bionovo stocks will go up up up and I'll make lots of moolah from them.
Meanwhile I is being a v. good little code monkey.
I have been designing, building, optimizing and fiddling away on all SORTS of websites lately.
Here are a few I've been doing this and that with: http://www.leslieadopts.com, http://www.sweethomemendocino.com, http://www.michelleandjamila.com, http://www.kpetunia.com/clients/ballins, http://www.mikesautohound.com, http://www.sportautocenter.com, http://www.bionovo.com, http://www.bydesignlegal.com, http://www.southamericanclimbing.com, http://www.kennicottguides.com, http://www.mendocinobeauty.com, http://www.mendocinofloraldesign.com and there's plenty more in the hopper, too! woohoo!
I will write a story for you about how it went with the whales when I get back.
kcrw rocks my world all day long.
