I might be on a dietary plan of depravity, by some standards, anyway. All the souffles, custards and dumplings I can eat, basically.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I could handle a plan of gustatory depravity. Bring it on!
If my wacky gluten allergy really HAS gone away, I have an elaborate meal planned at the fancy FANCY Cajun/Creole restaurant.
(I can't remember: did I tell you people that I have stopped taking all the antibiotics I was on? There were some symptoms I was having that made me decide that ANYTHING was better than the abx. It's been about 6 weeks, and whoo, having energy again is nice. In 2 weeks I get to try a real bread product and see if my neck welts up.)

Who has suggestions of awesome places to see/shop at/eat at in Portland, OR? It has been decided upon as the last-minute replacement for New Orleans. Not quite as exciting, but easy to get to. And tax-free shopping!
Powells. World's greatest (well biggest) bookstore.
If you are there on a Saturday, take the Max and get off at the Saturday Market. If you like Elephant Ears, the Saturday Market has the best. Anyway, great fair food, lots of crafts, a fun downscale atmosphere.
Portland also has great food carts these days. Also, has some really good Pho places if you are in to to Pho though I can't be specific.

Oh and a question for German speakers. Totentanz as I remember is German for "Dance of the Dead". Am I correct? So what would the German be for "Dance of the Free?"
Thanks

Hec, I thought of you while watching Double Deuce. "This baby knows what I'm talking about."
Emmett and I quote that episode ALL THE TIME. I might have to get him a silver tipped badger fur shaving brush just because of it.
"Baby...You're pear-shaped."
Also: "That's a lot of scalps!"

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Fingers crossed, Jilli.
Literally chilling, as I put the A/C waaay down (to 70) to get the house as cold as possible before power cut.
I'm doing this, too. I may have to wear long sleeves until the power cuts off.
Yeah, time to relocate to bed. Frankie's been there for hours.

Banana muffins - going to bed now. If I lose power overnight, will update every few hours via facebook, most likely (assuming the cell towers hold out). I know not everyone here is there, but I know some of you are and can repost here.
