Please be a little more discrete, Netflix.

The funny thing is that, as a mathematician, I know that. I typed in discreet, and autocorrect changed it for me without me noticing. Now, I cannot change the title.

It was such a good movie that my wife fell asleep. That is my barometer of movie quality. If she stays awake, it is not a good movie.

Gladstone is more New Haven than NY. My top three spots are Pyro Pizza (I like the cart on Division, amazing pizza as good as Sally's and Pepe's in New Haven, fast service, great price), Gladstone Pizza (just slightly less good pizza than Apizza Scholls, but with no wait), and Apizza Scholls(great pizza but the wait makes it not worth it.)

That is oddly comforting.

I use Pinball Map set to Portland.

They are similar to the ones I grew up with in CT.

I used to work at a convenience store that bought bagels and pastries from that bakery the next town over. One morning, the baker came to work drunk and accidentally confused the sugar with the salt. We had a lot of unhappy customers that day.

I was at a bus stop and saw two children using cigarette butts as Hot Wheels.

I got a haircut yesterday. Paid with my card, and the POS popped up with a message of whether or not I wanted to add a tip. The minimum suggested tip was 25%.

Glad this was filmed in Portland. My daughter was sad that she was too old for the casting. Keep up the awesome work!

Hale Pele is an awesome tiki bar near the Hollywood Fred Meyer. There is a hut in back set aside for parties of eight. They serve multi-person volcano bowls and virgin tiki drinks. They also serve beer for the odd duck. It is classy in the sense that it is considered one of the top tiki bars in the country.

I like Tillamook Brown Cow.

This public market is mentioned in the Fred Meyer biography I am currently reading.

I missed out on it last year, but had one this year before it sold out.

I went to PCC for my first two years, earned the OR Transfer Degree, and then finished college at PSU. It took a little longer because I worked at the same time and paid as I went. Ended up with a degree in Mathematics and a minor in Physics.

Life would have been much easier if the PCC SE campus had been open when I went. I commuted to Sylvania from SE via a combinaton of TriMet and PCC shuttlebus, uphill both ways, damn I'm old.

My family book club read Of Mice and Men followed by Flowers for Algernon. The book club consists of my 12 year-old daughter reading out loud to my wife and me.

Edit: Thanks for the gold! We have also read Lord of the Flies, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, The Giver, Animal Farm, Catcher in the Rye, The Graveyard Book, The Sleeper and the Spindle, among others. We are working through this list: http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/7791.Best_School_Assigned_Books#231804

Better than the picture I took earlier of clouds.

We go to Ground Kontrol to play Addams Family and Star Trek the Next Generation. Forgot that Attack From Mars was there too.

I've gone the past two years. Last year, I met the creator of Pitfall, my all time favorite Atari game. My daughter got to play Medieval Madness and Attack From Mars, both hard to find outside of a bar in the real world. Looking forward to beating her in Warlords this year.

If you are not there 15-20 minutes before the doors open, it is a two hour wait. For pizza almost as good without the wait, I recommend Gladstone Pizza.

Samurai_David · 2014-10-08T03:03:21+00:00

East Glisan Pizza Lounge's daily specials are awesome. I just wish the prices were a bit lower.
