The Week In Review

The weekend was spent house hunting.  Uneventfully I should say.  Trying to find a nice rental in the city is a challenge.  Some of the landlords are just nutty.  Some of them have basements or garages that you cannot use because the owner is storing stuff in them.  The idea of the owner coming around on Saturday morning and hanging out in my basement to get something would be weird.  Besides, why would I rent space I can’t use?  I have about a month and a half before I have to go with a plan B…which would mean something far out of the city…the ‘burbs.  I’m tired of the ‘burbs.

We went to one of the local parks on Sunday and it was an adventure.  There was a group of scary lesbians there.  I saw a little girl compliment one of the scary lesbians on her “snake” tattoo.  The lesbian replied, in a gruff voice, “That’s not a snake.  It’s a tiger.”  Granted, you could only see the tail of the tiger.  The actual tiger was thankfully hidden by her shorts.

My wife saw a dead monkey on the side of the road the other day.  It had been hit by a car.  While I have not lived in Portland that long I am fairly certain monkeys are not indigenous to the area.  One has to wonder where they monkey came from.

I had the pleasure of spending $800 to get my wife’s car fixed this week.  This should put me in a bad mood for at least a week or two.

While riding the train home the other day I saw a guy that was sleeping.  The odd thing was he had ants crawling all of him.  I am fairly certain he did not get them on the train.  So, not only did he manage to get a bunch of ants on him, but he managed to fall asleep with ants crawling all over him.  I have attached an image for the non-believers.
