Our air quality is garbage and the heat is oppressive right now.

I made an account. I'm evilgreenrobot over there. Add me if you're on there.
For the moment, it's just a backup in case LJ disappears.

AJ and I went to a cat show on Saturday! It was a small one, but lots of cute fluffy kitties to look at. I fell in love with the Devon Rexes and the Japanese Bobtails - a few looked a lot like Miki.

Did LJ just add the equivalent of a "Like" button?

And I now realize I should have a Flickr album of all the photos I've taken in public restrooms over the years.

Not dirty pics, get your brains out of the gutter.

I just love when public restrooms have fun/weird/cool designs. Or unusual urinals.

This is the sink at the Craft Warehouse:



And there's a pizza place in Gresham we recently went to that has a baby changing table with a robot on it, plus an inflatable moose head on the wall.





Maybe some day, I'll go through all my Flickr pics and make an album of them all. I think I've probably tagged them all.

Great show! They played for almost 2 hours, and she even apologized for skipping us on the last tour. :)

For 575

The pics are crooked & off center because I couldn't see very well that day.

That's Mom in the background of pic 2. These are my favorite pictures from the parental visit.

The pictures tell a story:

Hawthorne Bridge



This is how they raise it for large boats (spot AJ in the pic, taking a video)

At Roseland Theater in Portland. I went alone and had a great time. It was an all ages show so it started promptly at 8 and was over by 10:30. My only complaint would be that The Kills didn't do my favorite song, but that's their choice, not mine. They were still amazing.





Opening band L.A. Witch



I had been hearing the name "The Kills" for years, and even saw reviewers compare them to some of my favorite bands, and yet I still never investigated them until recently. That was dumb of me. They're fantastic. The new album just came out & I have only heard whatever they played at the show. It's definitely more poppy than their earlier stuff, so they might be trying to hit the mainstream a bit, but they deserve it.

Working mostly nights, I don't always have the opportunity to go to many shows any more, but I need to make more of an effort to do so. This was amazingly fun.

This is their "catnip blanket". Usually it's Riley that reacts the most, but V got in on the action too.

This is the closest I've ever seen them sit - actually touching butts!
