*smiling contentedly* That was an absolutely perfect weekend. Well, minus the slightly ginormous hangover. Lol. My dear friend Bonnie and her hubby Johnny came up from L.A. for a few days. Bonnie and our other friend Barb and I have known each other since we were sixteen. They are my two oldest girlfriends, and we only get to all see each other once or twice a year if we’re lucky. So it was a treat getting to spend most of the weekend together… Friday night, Howard, Bonnie, Johnny... Read Full Story

Ah hah! I knew somebody out there had to have more answers. “Buzzworm” sent me to The Horse Project, which is an entire website dedicate to the teensy equines about town. From that website, I learned about Scott Wayne Indiana, the artist initially responsible for the horses. What a wonderfully inventive mind! This man is a true creative genius in my opinion. I love art that not only challenges and entertains, but also invites the audience to become involved and proves that art doesn’t... Read Full Story

Wow.  It’s never the post you expect.  I mean, I write ice-cold flames and sizzling-hot porno that don’t get this much attention…But blog about miniature horses, and the floodgates open.  Seriously, I’ve gotten more comments and emails about those tiny ponies than any other topic I’ve written about in at least the past year, from as far away as Vancouver, BC!  The general consensus is that they are the product of an artistic Portlander with a sense of humor.  Yeah I kind of figured that part...

I’ve been meaning to write about the Mystery Horse for a while now, but I only just managed to get these pictures. Some time ago I noticed a little equine rubber figurine fixed to the curb near the drive-by drop-off mailboxes outside the Holladay Park Post Office (8th and NE Schuyler Street) here in Portland… Now I just sort of thought it was cute, but then I ran into another little horsey. It was tethered to the cash register (or tip jar maybe?) at some coffeehouse in town, but for the... Read Full Story

The Good News:  I got a part! The Bad News:  It’s not the one I wanted.  *sigh* Now the truth is that it’s a great supporting character, a real scene stealer.  And they cast against gender to put me in the role, so I know that means they saw something special.  It’s the whole “no small parts, only small actors” thing.  But then that’s what people tell the actor they give the small part to, and that’s what the person who gets the small part tells himself to feel better.  ROFL!  I was pretty...

I have a callback on Sunday for that part I auditioned for!  So now I’m reading and re-reading the play and memorizing my lines.  It’s not necessarily expected for me to be off-book at a callback, but I’m hoping it will show I mean business and am a quick study.  Plus, now that I’ve read the script I’m really into this character.  There are so many parallels between us, it’s uncanny!  But I’m getting ahead of myself.  First I have to focus on wowing them Sunday… Oooh, did I mention that we...

Well, it’s finally finished.  We got the new Bay City Blues phone sex blogsite up and running, and so far the feedback had been really positive.  I’m pretty damn exhausted, and we’re still working out the bugs, but it’s worth it.  *contented smile* In other news, I’m seriously considering going to Summer Camp for Grown Ups.  Doesn’t it look like a whole bunch of naughty fun?  I’m realizing that I still have a lot to learn about bdsm and alternative lifestyles.  As open-minded and creative as...

So there’s a little flame war going on a few posts back, and I thought I’d share my latest response before I put the whole mess to bed… “I posted your entire comment, including your IP number, to show you I am not afraid of people who are too chickenshit to use their real name and face to back up their words.  Words which, no matter how hard you try, you are never going to be able to hurt me with.  All you do is expose your bitterness and how judgmental you are about sexual behavior.  Do you...

***Originally posted at PortlandFood.org*** Being in the neighborhood, I knew we’d try this place sooner or later since the hours and location make them convenient. No problem getting a table at 4pm on a Friday, but I’d advise against sitting inside on a hot day. The lack of air conditioning or any kind of breeze made it warmer than outside. While I like the bamboo bar and colorful decor, they seem sort of random. What I mean is, they don’t really establish an identity/expectations for the... Read Full Story
