Ooh, shrift, that could be great! Close to the park, walking distance to a good comic book shop and bookstore and pricey but excellent grocery store (Andronico's - not great for staples, but if you're ever tackling an ambitious recipe and you stumble on some weird spice or root vegetable you've never heard of before, Andronico's will not only already have it, it'll have a good half dozen for you to choose from), lots of good restaurants, and far away from the worst of the tech bro culture. Also, dang, that kitchen looks pretty.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Sorry to hear that, tommyrot. But you all had a good time at the time, right? That's a good thing.
Looks good, shrift! That address sounds so familiar to me, I wonder why. ALso, next Thursday! That's so soon!

Man, I had my fancy Stumptown coffee at home yesterday and today my not so fancy Trader Joe's is not tasting as delicious. Dammit.

I KNOW. The linear progression of time is making me panicky.

Also, "Park West" sounds super-fancy, like it should come with butlers and a snooty white family with a long lineage.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm sorry, tommy.
Swanky apartments, shrift! I hope the search is as painless as possible.
I am back at work. Do not like. I have a feeling today is not going to be my most productive.
Also, I have to wonder what's up with the ATL airport. This is the third time in 2 months that my lock has either been missing or attached but unlocked when I'm transiting through that airport. No note from TSA saying they had to check my bag, and nothing's been missing. I am getting tired of buying replacement locks though. This doesn't happen going through any other airport. On my way out, I flew through Detroit and my bag arrived in Vegas locked. I am not looking forward to the complaints process with Delta.

Stumptown's not bad. I introduced a friend to coffee when she was in town a couple years ago, and that's where I took her.

This is true.
I quite like Stumptown, I visit every time I"m in Portland, but it's a little pricey and I have to order it and have it delivered, and they stopped grinding for shipment so there are expense and inconvenience issues. Stupid tastebuds, having standards. I need to ask my local shop if they ever had decaf beans for sale (they didn't last time I was in there, but maybe they sometimes do and would set some aside for me?)
