Espresso and Morning Words

Since moving to Portland I have increased my espresso intake 100 fold. I have also come to the conclusion I do not like Starbucks espresso at all.

I have to add mad amounts of cinnamon and half & half to give an appealing taste; where most local shops I can drink my americano as is.​

​I can't wait for people to hear the music works. It's matured a lot since the Nausicaa days, but still does what Nausicaa does best.

Cody has been writing some insanely amazing riffs and Adam's drumming is more tamed than ever before and as you probably know; the only things scarier than an angry bear is an angry bear held in a cage. 

​All and all the music is giving me all the feels, and I can't wait to share it with everyone.  Also I plan to post a snapshot of my book tonight after work. So be on the lookout for that.

MJ Monday And Other Head Blurbs

in

I started MJ Monday off watching "This Is It" for the second night in a row; which is good because the most of my day is making coffee to a generic playlist.

I have many words on the awesomeness of Michael Jackson, but I am not awake enough to sing any such praises at this moment. 

Also, I'm ready to get into the music again. Get lost in it. Jamming again on Thursday Night. ​

Everything MJ did was so in sync with the music. The way he harmonized so well, the rhythm of his dance looked effortless and flawless, and damn his band in the "This Is It" film. Daaaammnnnn that guitar! ​

Also my book is almost ready to send to the printing stage. ​

I need to read more. I really do. ​

​OOOooooh look I found the whole film on Youtube! 

​It's probably on Netflix, too.

I think you should watch it. ​

Snails and Rain

in

The rain clouds have returned to Portland, Oregon and all the neighborhood snails are making the migration across the great concrete plain. ​

These aren't the best pictures as I was in a hurry. I'll try to document their great migration at a later time. They were very magnificent creatures nonetheless.

Game Of Thrones

Quote from end of last episode that I found really badass:

​“Chaos isn’t a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb, but refuse. They cling to the realm, or love, or the gods…illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is. But they’ll never know this. Not until it’s too late.” - Littlefinger

Flying Cat Coffee Shop

In my ongoing ​quest to find the ultimate coffee shop in Portland, Oregon I happened upon Flying Cat Coffee Shop today. As you probably know my best friend is a black cat thus making this a must check out. 

The presentation wasn't try hard like some Portland shops. It was nice; pleasant and simple. Kind of like sitting in your grandma's living room with a restaurant in it. The kind of place you want to get away and get some work done. Not the kind of place you find a lot hipsters trying to impress their friends. There wasn't a lot of people in there when I went, but I presume it's a very family friendly shop. 

My coffee was pleasant, but my favorite part was the pastry. They also serve breakfast food and sandwiches but I did not that this go round. Maybe another time, but definitely recommend this shop.

I'm Not Even Exaggerating

in

In case you don't know Smoggie is normally very chill and not intrusive in the least first thing in the morning. She lies there beside me for hours, but not lately. She won't even ask for food until I'm up.

Every since moving into this new apartment Smoggie Catt will pester me to get up all morning, but it's not for food or water. Sometimes food, but mostly she has food already.​

 I just discovered why. She just wants me to hang out with her. For real, I'm finally up and she is just sitting here talking with me. ​I love my fuzzy weirdo.
