this past week

  • thus far, i'm the top salesman this month. there's still a week left, though.
  • i'm extremely tired because besides my regular 7-3 ish dayjob, i've been spending 1-2 hours a day doing some freelance PR, right now for the christian versian of i-tunes. not to mention riding my bike to work now as well as cooking dinner most days, since mel works 8-6 and i'm home first
  • mel's friend kristy is coming to visit for a week, from tonight (Sat) to next Sat.
  • next sat is april fool's day, and also, euromotion is performing.
  • the new ghostface album, "fishscales" is fucking dope.
  • Portland is America's best bicycling city, Bicycling magazine has determined, for like 10 year in a row. it's dope to bike to work in like 15 mins, and ride over an ill bridge and alongside the river for like 10 mins out of the ride. exercise + faster commute + free is pretty ill...
  • cooked up some ill tostadas the other day. black bean and chicken with some homemade guac and sour creme is the jam, most def...simple , too.. for the guac, just toss the following in a food processor or blender for like a minute: an avocado, a large tomato, a chili pepper or jalapeno, 1/2 an onion, some cilantro, some olive oil, a couple cloves of garlic and the juice from 1/2 a lime. done. toss a can of black beans, some garlic, onion and a pepper of your choice, i rocked a chipolte i think, in a pot on the stove. throw some chicken breasts (rub em a little w/ some cumin or something) on top of the beans, add a little beer or wine or something, cover it up and let it simmer on low for like an hour...check on it every once in awhile. get some tostadas, put em on the table, spread the black beans on em, top w/ some chicken, then the guac, then a little sour creme and blammo you got a dope meal..
  • saw the movie the squid and the whale last night..pretty dope flick. also been rocking a different sushi spot once a week around here. been feeling the bbq eel, the pieces of salmon, and as always, the spicy runa roll. gimme those w/ some miso soup and a little ginger dressing salad, a small sake, and some japanese green tea and i'm money. once again, cant wait for tokyo this summer...
  • we're probably going to check out vancouver, BC, real soon. about a 5-6 hour drive north of here. any stories on vancouver?

Yo,the beans arrived. Checked em out Sat morn with some homemeade pancakes. Awesome java mon. Sat on the deck and drank it, just for some additional atmosphere. The vino is still sealed, I'm gonna use it as a special. Probably take the new honey to that restaurant you recomended. That way, I'll think about you whe I drink it and also experience someplace new. Good talking to you this weekend. I love it when my neice or nephews actually call me, and on top of that, want to hang out. Had a great time with Ev and Er. Talk to you later. Prolly today.
