I hate Portland no longer now that I’m able to accept it for what it is, rather than seeing it as a safe haven away from the […]

I’m getting closer and closer to “making the switch” here at home.  I’ve been traveling enough lately to justify a laptop to make things a bit easier.  I’ve been mooching off of Justine’s laptop for the past several months when we travel together and I’m getting closer and closer to getting one myself.

Justine and I went to see The Prestige this weekend with Leslie & Ted. It seemed like an interesting plot, but I think I unraveled most of the plot in my head before the movie was over. It was still an interesting movie, though.
