I have fallen in love with the view from Maria’s apartment.
Forgotten: 1 picture from Vancouver, Notes on Portland & delapidated-house-in-Hawaii pictures
This is a statue Alannah’s which is crazy awesome and depicts a scene straight out of the Chinese Cultural Revolution which I learned about for a class in my History Master’s program a semester back.
Notes from Portland -
Arcade games are awesome -
I went to Groundkontrol which is a bar / arcade. It had a great selection of pinball, including the Addams Family which is one my favorites, Dr. Who & the Twilight Zone themed pin ball.
I also went to Avalon Wunderland – this is a nickle arcade with a nice selection of games that normally cost a dollar and only cost 80 cents there. I enjoyed that and I very much felt I got my money’s worth.
I forgot to upload these, they are of a dilapidated house in Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii.
wandering Dallas

I had fun in Dallas. These are pictures I took around the convention center where the ALA Midwinter 2012 Conference is being held.

@lenalibrarian: Hello Dallas! Please don’t rain tonight, I could use a break from rain. Thanks to Portland, Hawaii & Vancouver my shoes are still wet.
Cuddles from a cat
Walking in Portland I wandered up to this cat and got cuddles. It even climbed in my lap for a bit. I have fun adventures.

@lenalibrarian: the last picture of me with snow did not emphasis my emotions – here’s one better – also, damn I’ve got jet lag http://t.co/oMmfmt6g
I’m in Portland
I got here, all hard-core jet legged and sad.
Picture proof –
Snow made me sad. Snow directly after Hawaii.
I did go for a very good brunch with Arthur and his girl Cara at Bar Carlo, twas very yummy. (They have a facebook page, I’ve ‘liked’ them.)
I’ve set it up so my twitter feed shows up in my blog. I’ll likely be tweeting a fair amount from the ALA mid winter conference which I’m headed to next weekend.
This vacation has been long. I think in the future I’ll not leave for so long at a stretch. I’m rather homesick.
