This month, Amanda and I attended our first concert in over a year (something long overdue), we're getting excited for our trip to Missoura and the van's finally here!
Backwards Forewords
The foreword and index to all the chapters of my being.
Push Me, Pullman
Or how I learned to stop worrying and hopefully love the Northwest.

How Long? How fast? For how long?
Portland's Greatest Export
The Decemberists released their first major label debut this month, The Crane's Wife. More refined than previouse efforts, but sticking to the original recipe of folk tale driven ballads, you'll find this album topping "Best Of '06" lists everywhere.
The Van 2
Four months late and a few thousand more the new van has arrived and she's a beaut. The seat not only turns around but will move back and lift up to make transferring safer and easier. Gone are the yellow and red switches to control the ramp that were constantly getting unplugged and instead a sleek aesthetically pleasing button. Plus a MP3 6 CD in dash changer AND it’s the first van to have pimpin' row down middle windows. - view photos
Go Cards!
Finally a World Series victory I'm old enough to enjoy. It’s enough to make one forget about dirty thumbs and a nation of cry babies claiming we shouldn't have been there. But we were there New York bitches and we kicked your punk asses, so suck it! Granted, about a billions worth of their team was on the DL. I think LaRussa summed it up best, "It's not the best team that wins but the team that plays the best."
Aww a Boogly-boo!
No, it's not a black face performance. It's Halloween. And what better way to spend it than seeing a transvestite play troop put on a show about an aborted fetus from hell that murders sinners. - view photos
Handicap My Ass
I know of few things more frustrating than circling a parking lot with no empty spaces. Except, when you’re in a converted van and there are plenty of spaces, but no van accessible spots available because some senior citizen has parked their Lincoln SUV in the only one even though there were four non van accessible handicap spaces right next to them.
On the Telly
Ahh fall. Burning leaves, rain and a new tv season.

Last season's Lost asked more questions than it answered, so I really hope they start clearing up a few things. I'm starting to forget what I'm supposed to be questioning.

Sure it looks like an Xmen rip off, but I'm still gonna check out Heroes. It looks like the Lost of super hero dramas.

My most anticipated series this fall is Dexter. It stars Michael C Hall from Six Feet Under as a blood splatter analyst that just so happens to be a serial killer that kills other serial killers. I mean with that kind of premise how could you lose?
