O-Blog-Di, O-Blog-Da: June 2008
http://o-blog-di-o-blog-da-diane.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Life goes on. in Portland, Oregon. Thursday, June 26, 2008. For example, with my parents, I slowly laid the groundwork. "Portland's really cool" and "I really like Portland" became common statements in conversations with them. I finally decided to just come out with it. It was a Thursday night. The conversation went something like this:. Diane: "Mom, I'm actually going to move to Portland.". Diane: "Yeah, aren't you excited for me? Mom: "Yeah, but I'm watching Grey's Anatomy right now.". There have been ...

O-Blog-Di, O-Blog-Da: A Portland Brawl
http://o-blog-di-o-blog-da-diane.blogspot.com/2008/10/portland-brawl.html
Life goes on. in Portland, Oregon. Wednesday, October 8, 2008. I wouldn’t normally think a bar fight would be worthy blog material, but that was before I experienced my first Portland brawl. But this bar brawl on Friday night at Portland’s Sassy Jack’s takes the cake for my favorite fight ever. This brawl was done in true Portland fashion. And to make the situation even more entertaining, while the boys were brawling, a man was singing karaoke. He didn’t stop or miss a single beat. Memoirs of a Nomad.

O-Blog-Di, O-Blog-Da: September 2008
http://o-blog-di-o-blog-da-diane.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Life goes on. in Portland, Oregon. Sunday, September 21, 2008. A city of "-est's". Portlandians love their city. They also like to lay claim to a lot of “-est’s” – the biggest, smallest, tallest. There are also a lot of “most’s” here as well. I am on a hunt to find all the “-est’s”, and experience all the “most’s.”. There are two “most’s” that make Portlandians (and myself! I am yet to visit a Portland strip club – but I do know which one I want to go to. Soon. Very soon. The store is divided into color-...

O-Blog-Di, O-Blog-Da: Politics and KU Basketball
http://o-blog-di-o-blog-da-diane.blogspot.com/2008/10/politics-and-ku-basketball.html
Life goes on. in Portland, Oregon. Sunday, October 26, 2008. Politics and KU Basketball. When I first moved out here, I compared the current presidential race in Portland to that of KU basketball in Lawrence, Kansas. Everyone’s abuzz. It’s all anyone can talk about. And everyone is on the same team. In Portland, they’re all for Obama. In regards to politics, I’ve always preferred to keep my mouth shut. Isn’t it one of those three things we’re taught to not talk about? Religion, politics and money? The bo...

O-Blog-Di, O-Blog-Da: Portland is gorgeous...
http://o-blog-di-o-blog-da-diane.blogspot.com/2008/10/portland-is-gorgeous.html
Life goes on. in Portland, Oregon. Monday, October 13, 2008. Every time I cross one of the bridges going over the Willamette River, I remember why I moved to Portland. This city is beautiful. And I am reminded of this pretty often, because it's a regular occurence for me to somehow end up on a street that takes me to the other side. But I've really only driven or ridden over the river - never really stopping to fully enjoy it. 160;And not only one, but three! 160; Click here. View my complete profile.

Life goes on. in Portland, Oregon. Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Little People, Big Pumpkins. Now, I honestly can’t remember the last time I was at a pumpkin patch, but a midget pumpkin patch? While waiting, we saw license plates from as far away as Montana and Texas. Seriously? To see all the pumpkin patch pictures. Sunday, October 26, 2008. Politics and KU Basketball. Religion, politics and money? Hence, me watching the debates in the comfort of my own home. I decided, however, for the last presidential...

O-Blog-Di, O-Blog-Da: Where Diane and Portland Meet
http://o-blog-di-o-blog-da-diane.blogspot.com/2008/09/where-diane-and-portland-meet.html
Life goes on. in Portland, Oregon. Friday, September 12, 2008. Where Diane and Portland Meet. Here are some shockers for you: I recycle. I ride a bike as transportation. I gave up Miller Lite for PBR. Now, before you get your panties in a bunch, let me explain…. What’s the point? If it were my bar, it’d be going in the trash. In Portland, they make recycling so easy, I’d feel bad if I didn’t. There’s a giant recycling can, big and green, just sitting right outside our house. Wha...But keep in mind, IR...

O-Blog-Di, O-Blog-Da: A rose by any other name is still... a rose.
http://o-blog-di-o-blog-da-diane.blogspot.com/2008/10/rose-by-any-other-name-is-still-rose.html
Life goes on. in Portland, Oregon. Friday, October 3, 2008. A rose by any other name is still. a rose. And Portland likes its roses. You know those ugly manhole covers you see on the streets? Makes perfect sense to me, what, with all the other unique titles Portland holds. I unfortunately did not get a picture of the suicidal cat, but I did take some photos of the rose garden. You can look at them here. And the garden actually does have a cool history behind it – hybridists sent flowers to Portland...
