Oktober?

This post doesn't really have a point. I just felt like posting some recent Fotos and jib-jabbing, while not doing homework. 

Today was another beautiful day in Portland, and it should stay that way for the whole week! I was getting used to the rain and clouds, but I am not complaining. 

PSU offers tons of free group exercise classes, so I finally went to a Yoga class this morning! It was only 'Gentle Yoga' but it felt good to stretch again and balance my body. I plan on continuing with the classes, since they offer a lot and on everyday of the week. 

I had a crazy weekend with lots of friends visiting (including my BFF!), but I'll talk about that another time. 

 Maybe I was bored and was having too much fun with Picnik's Halloween stickers...

Again, having fun with Picnik effects.

 I got a pair of hair cutting scissors to keep my bangs trimmed up, and Zack let me cut his hair. It was pretty fun. He then went and got a lovely buzz cut at this super awesome barber shop in the Pearl.........

 This is where we sleep. The wall has expanded greatly already.

Yeah, a typical evening watching Archer and drinking some vino. 

P.S. Listen to this band & watch this video

Who says its always raining in portland?

Check out this beautiful day we scored!
Guess I didn't need to wear these rainboots...
Pardon my droid pics.
Hope your day is beautiful! Xxx

Forgotten Fotos

I was totally planning on posting these photos daaaaaaaays ago, and then I forgot. I of course don't want all you devoted readers to miss out on these gems, so here are some B&W shots from my photo class.

This effect was created with a process called Sabattier. It's done in the dark room and you're basically just shooting the print with light before it's fully developed. It's a pretty trial and error process, but I got this one with the 2nd try! SCORE.

Some photos I never had time to enlarge, I really want to some day though.

Here's another roll of film of Portland

Okay so, I am going to actually try to write... bare (bear?) with me everyone. We've been here a little over 3 weeks. It's great. I love it. I finally got a job at this amazing restaurant/ Waffle Window. The restaurant is called Bread & Ink Cafe. The Waffle Window is, just that... a Window on the side of building that sells delicious and amazing Waffles. So far it's one of the coolest places I've ever worked! I officially started big kids school on Monday. Portland State is a great school so far and I am really enjoying all my classes, but my German class the most of course! My professors all seem pretty knowledgeable and I will learn a lot. That is if I can survive all the massive amounts of readings I have to do... It feels good to be back in school though using that brain of mine. To be honest though, my main goal this quarter is to become better at German. I absolutely love living in a city. Of course cities have their ups and downs (so many homeless people asking you for money, get's old after a while. I NEED MONEY TOO PEOPLE!!!) but all in all, Portland is gooooood. Good food, it's hard not to eat out every day too, but I am having fun playing the house wife roll and cooking fabulous meals! I still don't have any girl friends here but I am not worried about it. Hopefully I can meet some people in my classes. Now I feel like I am babbling, my photos are much more entertaining, ENJOY!

Portland in 35mm

I recently invested in a Canon T70 which is just an old 35mm SLR. I just had a great longing for taking film pictures again, so naturally I took a whole roll in a day. Enjoy the city!

our humble abode.
