Oregonistas! (Oregonians?) I'm moving from Texas to Astoria at the beginning of April and am headed up there in a couple of weeks to visit and check out the rental housing situation. I've posted a house wanted ad on CraigsList and have followed up on a couple of things I've seen listed but I can't find any rental agencies in Astoria and I'm only finding one real estate office (it is a fairly small town but I didn't think it was THAT small). If you have any advice for me or any contacts in that area, I'd really appreciate your help - profile addy is good.
Mal: Zoe, why do I have a wife? Jayne: You got a wife? All I got is that dumbass stick sounds like its raining. How come you got a wife?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

Wow, I had no idea where Astoria was but just googlemapped it, lcat. Looks interesting, but definitely like you may just have to walk around and look for a place!! Or maybe people there still use the local paper?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The only think I know about Astoria is that it's where Goonies was filmed.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
As I was walking to my car wearing my Scott Pilgrim shirt and carrying my Umbrella Academy umbrella, I said to myself, "Who's gonna marry this guy?"

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
With any luck at all, P-C, the right woman at the right time.

“Not dead yet!”
Oh my stars and garters, y'all. I just got the prototype for my new cover and I am absolutely verklempt. It's so unbelievably gorgeous, I made noises that probably caused dogs to howl in Australia and woke poor baby Ryan.
And I cried.
I want to load it to Flickr, but since I haven't gotten the go-ahead to share publicly, it'll have to be friends only, so if you don't have me friended on Flickr, let me know.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It's so unbelievably gorgeous, I made noises that probably caused dogs to howl in Australia and woke poor baby Ryan.
That's what it was! Seriously, he woke early from his nap this afternoon. We've been wondering what was bothering him.
