Last weekend, my husband and I had our first only-in-Portland conversation since moving out here from New York roughly two years ago.
Me: So they changed that pirate themed vegan cafe into a strip club...
He: A pirate themed strip club?
Alas, no. Just another strip club of the Girls! Girls! Girls! Bring Cash! variety. Although if any city would have a pirate strip club, I think it would be this one. I love Portland. So much I've started a blog about it. Now, the Internet and I have a bit of a history, a shared tango of procrastination, ambition and disappointment. A few years ago I pledged on livejournal to review every single book I read in a year. Five months and thirty-seven books later (I read a lot) we made the NY to PDX move and by the time we settled in I was two months behind. Considering the rate at which I read (even slowed down by the move) that's a lot of reviews. The more I put off reviewing the more they piled up, and lazy cuss that I am, I abandoned the attempt.
Not this time. I'm starting this blog with reasonable (read: low) expectations. With--dare I say it?--a mission statement. You won't see daily updates. You might not even see weekly ones. What you will see is at least one book review, one area restaurant/shop/cafe/experience review, and one general state of the Manaster report a month.
Stay tuned.

"Professor, what's another name for pirate treasure?"
"Well, I think it's booty...boo boo boo booty. That's what it is."
I miss those ads on 970AM for Pirate's Tavern.
Hey, I've been wanting to do the underground caverns since I moved here. That may be fun to review?
