Friends

(just read this on the wweek website and thought i would put it here for you all)

As you gear up for New Year’s Eve, a helpful reminder to our reminder from last week: All rides on TriMet’s MAX and buses will be free beginning at 8 pm on Thursday, Dec. 31. The MAX Blue, Green and Yellow lines will also provide extra late-night service on New Year’s Eve, running every 30 minutes until about 3 am.

When I first plays Left 4 Dead, I fell in love. It was just about everything I had ever hoped for in a FPS. I got pretty good, though usually didn't fare too well on Advanced, and could never beat a campaign on expert, but overall, I wasn't terrible. I always did awesome on Normal.

When Left 4 Dead 2 was announced, I was excited (though disappointed that they didn't just put up DLC for L4D1). When the demo was released, my BF and I played it and thought, "this is gonna be awesome!" Oh how wrong we were...

( I can't suck this much )

Ideas people? What's going on? Anything fun and weird?

I'm so over hanging out at busy bars with drunks and paying a covercharge to spend hours trying to get my overpriced, watery drinks. Not cool..

Come on Portland.. you gotta have something cool happening.

Anyone have oil heat?  Who do you use to refill your tank and/or service your furnace?

We just moved into a house with oil heat, and despite the fact that the gauge on the tank appears to be between 1/8 and 1/4, it's not kicking on.  I've never had oil heat before so I'm not sure if the gauge is just off or if it's common knowledge to refill before it gets that low...or if the furnace is just on strike.  Anyway, any recommendations/companies to avoid would be much appreciated!  We'd like to have heat to ring in the new year.

(And yes, I already googled; just looking for personal recs.)

I need to know where in PDX or Vancouver I can find fruit flavored candy canes. You know like blue raspberry and such.

Anybody seeing them still? Please tell me I'm not too late!

So myself and someone else in my house use prescription drugs that get administered through IM injection. However, one of our pharmacists, out of who knows what logic, refuses to dispense needles along with the injectable medicine. We are running out of needles. Where the hell can we get more?

My girlfriend is selling her bike.

Hey y'all. It's nearly officially 2010 and I'm not a doctor of anything...gotta do something about that. At least become a master of some discipline. (Permit me to comment-anticipate here: No, I don't mean, you know, bungholes...competition there is fierce. I'd rather try for vet school.)

My question to the Deeps is this: what if none of my former profs remember my schmucky face? I went to school, got my B's, got my degree. Stayed pretty quiet, said the ocassional dumb thing, turned in papers semi-on time, etc. In and out in three years. Now, I want to apply to grad school, but quite a few of the applications ask for a professor's recommendation.

Assuming you give a shit for 45 seconds, do I write the ones I got A's from, "jog their memory" (i.e. tell them who I am and hope they'll shrug and go along with it) and hope for the best? Take a class at PCC/PSU and establish hella rapport with the instructor so he'll write specific laudatory things about me and sign off on it? Go down to the Delta Café and ask someone wearing tweed to make up a story about me inventing the first monkey with three asses and pass him a twenty?

What are your tots? Naturally, I'm especially interested in arson.

I would like to learn how to extract my own essential oils from local herbs, wood, etc for use in fragrances and medicine. Does anyone know a good source of information on how to do this as well as (preferably a locally-owned shop) where I can get any specialized equipment I may need?

Thanks!

If you start up the process of canceling your Rhapsody.com account, they'll offer you the unlimited service for $10/month instead of $13/month in an effort to hold onto you.

Can someone please recommend a place in NE where I can park my car and then take the Max to the Rose Garden? Paying for parking sux.

Rumor has it Alton Brown is either in town, or perhaps just left town! He was spotted at the airport, but I haven't heard just yet if he was coming or going! Has anyone else spotted him!? Please let us know if you do!! My husband wants to have his babies!

What Imax theater in Portland would you folks recommend seeing Avatar at?

Today. Yep. Today. I'll be going to Things From Another World in the Hollywood District in Portland to hang out and sell my comics as part of the Indy Comics Week. 2-7pm.
I'll have original art and my dirty comics in addition to my usual crap.

So do you have your doomsday plans in place?

Well yesterday was pretty crazy.  My wife left Salem at 4pm, and arrived home in portland at 10pm.  Even Mayor Sam Adams was online doing crisis dispatch.

I have a great snow ride posted on ebay,  It's my first and so far only ebay listing and it ends in about 4 hours.  Check it out if you need a good ride for this weather. http://bit.ly/7W5Afl

I also posted some video on my youtube from lastnight in the snow, and the WRXs with snow on them. http://www.youtube.com/user/subarushawn

Lets see your video and pictures too.

And if I don't see you until then, HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Did Max Fleischer spawn Oingo Boingo?
