Dear Diary, 

Today I woke up on the floor (comfortably) at my friend Lisa's house in Eugene.  This was a good thing!  The night before she made me a fancy dinner of shrimp curry, rice, and asparagus It was so good!  We also drank some tasty chilled white wine and watched the movie; Forgetting Sarah Marshall on the computer.  I had seen it once before, but had forgotten how funny it was.  At one point, I think some chilled wine came out my nostrils.  Lisa made a warm fire in the wood stove.  My belly was full and I slept like a log.  

Then I got up and walked to the store to buy milk and get a cup of joe.  When I got home, Lisa was up and making more coffee.  The sun came out and I spent the rest of the day doing errands around Eugene.  Now that I live in Portland I have such a fresh perspective of Eugene.  Everything seems so familiar and yet new and refreshing.  Eugene now seems so small and slow and "earthy."  Like eating a bowl of granola in a tent in the woods.  When I wrote the song Leaving Eugene, I was pretty mocking of her.  I tend to tease those things I love.  I also like to play with perspective and pretend to love things I hate, and hate things I love.  

Well, so far it's been a pretty good day and I need to get back to Portland to take care of business in the big city.

I would like to thank the Universe for all the things I have; like this website and so many friends, and for curing my athletes foot, and also for my mom who helped me with the rent.

Thank You!
