Working on a presentation about Sophie Calle

I finally found a way to reach my ceiling to change a light bulb

Good thing I had this $800 ladder just sitting around.

Dear Neighbors,

Other people have to use this washing machine, too. Maybe you should just do one load at a time.

Arrived safely

Nobody messed with my car or my apartment while I was gone. Too bad nobody broke in to clean up for me. That seems like something a Portlander might do.

Cherbs drops by a friend's house

Door Handles over a Doorway

These used to be the inside door handles on my first car.

I should probably break down these boxes

Wrong Porter Street (Road)

I clicked the wrong button and had my film developing reels sent to Nashville.

Home Improvement

I'm getting so sick of still having my stuff in boxes. But I can't unpack until I have someplace to put all my things. So tonight I put together my blue bookshelf. It was last seen being disassembled by Devin. Before that it was seen here, here, here, here, and (in pieces) here. Its twin is probably in a thrift store in Richmond right about now.
What a way to spend a Friday night. Woo!

I bought a toaster

How have I lived without my morning eggo waffles for this long?

I bought this two-tone desk

because I want my apartment to look like the inside of a Target store.

The second time I've lived on a street named Porter

I finally have an apartment!! It has a blue door!

And red floors and a big bay window in the living room!

And another one in the bedroom!

And a red clawfoot tub!!!

So I gave up looking for a roommate and just got a one-bedroom. I answered at least 100 craigslist roommate ads and looked at 23 of those. Most of them I didn't like and the ones I did like picked someone else.

Here send me postcards and mix CDs:
024 SW Porter St
Portland, OR 97201

That zero in the address is very important. This street has a "zero" block. 24 Porter St. is a block away. Google and Mapquest don't understand this and I actually missed my initial viewing of the apartment because I was sitting in front of the wrong place. That's so weird. Also weird about this place is that it's in a part of town where highways and big roads have been cut through, so alot of the streets don't connect. I actually haven't been able to figure out how to drive into the neighborhood without taking an illegal right turn (which google and mapquest also don't realize is illegal).

But I am always fine with quirky things... and I'm not homeless anymore!
