FeedsPost, The first
The name says it all: Pretentious asshole alert. Reed graduate coming through. New blogger.
Take your pick.
I just wanted to say, like, I'm, like, so excited to be a part of the team now. I once saw a whole high school yearbook with the theme being variations on "a part" and "apart." Visually, it was stunning (as high school yearbooks go) but I remember it because those high school students (or one of their assorted parental/responsible units) really hit home on something about connectedness, place, and being (a) part of something.
So here I am, part of this web of connectedness with my fellow witigonens, some of whom I don't recall ever meeting. Maybe I was drunk? But regardless I think there is something to be said for building this movement of self-conscious, but not-too serious, informed comentary as we turn our attention to this next electoral cycle and try not to trip over the simple things in the process.
As for the simple things in my life right now, I watched Heros last night. Its great background fodder to keep you going as you sort e-mail on your future phone (Blackberry, IPhone, whatever brand of Future Phone you subscribe to). My own future phone has a little protective covering since my last phone died of "water" vodka damage. The covering is the same color as my kitchen table- electric apple green. For those of you who don't know me, I am as ridiculous as I sound. Oh, but back to heros- only watch the next episodes if you know what the hell is going on- lots of those males with sunken eyes look the same and are hard to keep straight. The woman who crys ink and kills people is hot but I can't imagine she would be around too much longer since shes a tanget of a tangent of a tangent...
As for Oregon business news: the local store Greenloop is just up the street from me in Sellwood must have quite the online traffic. A shirt made by one of the deigners they carry was featured in DailyCandy's Dallas edition yesterday (a daily e-mail and blog about as vapid as the NYTimes Style Section with editions for various cities in the US- Seattle is the closest for us 503ers) with Greenloop listed as the place to order it. Imagine shipping your organic-natural-holier-than-thou shirt across the country? Greenloop does buy greentags for all their shipping needs, which is oh so cool of them.
But wouldn't it be better if the rest of the world just made their own green shit and left us well-enough alone here in sustanability-heaven (never mind the $60,000 Portland spent to send people and stuff to some green building thing in Chicago).
I promise it will only get better from here.

Hey, I don't have a problem with Reed graduates. If it weren't for a Reed graduate, we wouldn't have Dr. Demento, now, would we?
Would it were that I'd had the chance to go there, but you play the cards you're dealt., alas.

Dr. Demento once came to a recording session I was doing, drunk out of his mind, with his tuxdeo all amiss. We had to encourage him not to put his beer on the board.

He's a really softly-spoken guy outside his persona. I know him from my work on Reed's L.A. alumni steering committee, and he's great.
