About Me

so things in my life are a little crazy at the mo. i picked up and left oregon (abruptly, i might add) about two weeks ago and headed south. now i'm traipsing about so cal (i gather that term is "out" but it's so long to type the other way) interviewing for exciting jobs (come on, accounting is totally exciting!), thinking about where to reside and enjoying the sun and beaches. can't really complain. eventually (meaning fairly soon) i'll be back up in portland to pack up my apartment and move the remainder of my worldly possessions to join me. and perhaps throw back a few brews with those in portland i care for. and hang out with my parents as well. my mother swears she will not visit los angeles; i think she's bluffing. so that's the haps with me. never a dull moment!what's new with you? This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? Go get one!

My Interests

Reading books and magazines, travelling, shopping, modern design, sustainability, running, working out, art, fashion, minimalism, liberal politics, green building and development, good food, wine and beer, writing, spending time with friends & the fam, education, movies, gymnastics, PAC10 football (only for the tailgating though), birthdays, riding my bike & pub-transing, music, dancing, talking, snowboarding, dining out, photographs, peace.
