New Years, Etc

Trying to journal more via my blog.

2016 is going to be a damn interesting year; I can feel it.

New Years Eve I spent with a handful of my favoritist people.

we sang, we danced, we drank. 

Liz and I carved a pumpkin.  

Bettet later than never, eh? 

what else? 

Yesterday it snowed in Portland.

Today it's all iced over. 

I'm very grateful my place of working is only a block away from mi casa.

i saw my friends lee and Alicia play a show at Alberta Street Pub. The night before the snow happened.

my friend Paige was in town from Seattle. They're one of my favorite peoples. 

more words later. I need to drink more coffee.

be free fellow earthlings.

Pumpkin Carving / Martha Gets A Helmet

Last night I went to my friend Ellen's house. There were many new faces of very nice people. I sat around a fire a lot.

I really wanted a bonfire for my birthday, but had discontinued the thought because it didn't seem very realistic. Well It wasn't a bonfire but I was more than satisfied with being able to sit by a fire and conversate with good folk while drinking the beer.

Anyway...We carved pumpkins, even roasted seeds alongside the fire.  It was great!

About Martha... She had this idea that she needed a helmet. You know "just  incase a pack of wild unicorns charge through the house". I've never heard of such but Martha, she has her paranoias.

I didn't want her to feel worried when she sits inside the house alone. So we made her a helmet. I must say it fits her very well. It even fit me, but I couldn't see out of it.

I would most definitely be impelled by the wild pack of unicorns IF they somehow saw their way through my house.

I don't think they could get past Smoggie Catt, but Martha doesn't understand Smoggie Catt's magic yet.
