Tuesday, July 29, 2014. MJ&K Explore PDX 2014: June and July. June: The Grilled Cheese Grill. Holy crap, was this one of the most Portland-y experiences I've had in a while. (Which is not a negative statement, by the way! The Grilled Cheese Grill is a thing I've wanted to visit forevah, because hello, who wouldn't want to eat grilled cheese on a school bus-turned-restaurant? The front of said double decker grilled cheese bus. It's an anecdotally-proven fact that food always tastes better when somebody el...

Thursday, September 12, 2013. Addendum: Macklemore and Mary Lambert. This is much delayed, but my latest post here, which I then slightly modified to publish on AfterEllen. Stirred up the most attention and debate of any article I've written in a long time, and also made me think even more deeply about a lot of the murky topics I brought up. I wanted to expand a little bit on some of it, even though it all happened weeks ago, because I've been thinking about it ever since. The main thing is this. Anyway,...

Wednesday, November 20, 2013. Giorno Diciotto: Best moment of my life. Okay, so the middle of the month with this whole Blogember. Thing went down the drain a little, which could've been expected, and I know that today is also the 20th and I'm doing Day 18 (Diciotto in Italiano! But I really wanted to do this one, and the next string of prompts really, so I'm going to catch up, even if it's squeezing a few prompts into the same day. And yeah, this was basically just an excuse to waste way too much time l...

Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Macklemore. AND Mary Lambert. You guys, I hate it when the Internet makes me mad! Because I get all Hulk smash ragey, like can't-focus-on-anything-else ragey, all the while even MORE mad at MYSELF for being mad because I know that being mad about things on the Internet is about as useless as eating celery! You burn more calories in the event of taking it in than the calories you actually consume! And it leaves stringy shit all in your teeth! Kathy and I have liked Macklemore for...

Monday, July 6, 2015. Best : June 2015. By Michael Barakiva was not particularly deep- although as the main character is Armenian-American, it does delve into some Armenian Genocide history- but geez, was it cute. And romantic. And gay. It was the best romantic cute gay YA book I've read in a long while! And reminded me that reading not-particularly-deep romances is just FUN and good and I'm vowing to spend more time reading them this summer. Is a lot gayer. Some for you. Yumm Sauce is.not good f...Ahhhh...

Monday, June 22, 2015. A lot of terror and hurt has been happening in the world lately. I've almost written about it here a hundred times, and I hope I still will, eventually, when I have adequate words, because if there's one thing I know it's that we have to talk about it. We have to talk about a lot of things. 2015 started with a reading bang for me, one of those runs where every book you pick up seems awesome and perfect and written just for you. If only these runs lasted forever! One was chicken tik...

Wednesday, June 3, 2015. Best : May 2015. Oh hello there, beautiful little blog! Didn't see you there! Probably because I haven't updated you for five months! And last time I did update you, it was to post a humongo list of EVERYTHING I DID IN 2014 THAT I LIKED (okay almost everything) and it was great but also long and took a week to compile which was satisfying in the end but also annoying. But it's 2015 now! Summer is in the air and I can feel it in my bones! So after today, I'll work on catching up r...

Friday, June 26, 2015. Last week, I watched a documentary called Limited Partnership. As you would expect, the federal government did not deem this marriage certificate from Boulder in 1975 valid. In fact, Tony received an official response from the INS that stated:. You have failed to establish that a bona fide marital relationship can exist between two faggots.". Perhaps the most heartbreaking part of the documentary was a section that took place during the '80s, I think, where, after continually losin...

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Best : February 2015. I made two dishes in February that have ended up being some of my favorites this year that I've since made and enjoyed again. One is almost exceedingly simple: Baked Italian Eggs. From the Budget Bytes. Cookbook, the yummiest breakfast you can make yourself if you're obsessed with Italian food, and also an excellent use of the ramekins I got for Christmas last year! The ALA Youth Media Awards. Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier. Yet I can't think of another...

Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Yes, All Women. Including me. I was sexually assaulted, once. Luckily, only once. It shouldn't be surprising that I was. When you're in a crowded room, there's a good chance that half of the women with you have been sexually assaulted. It doesn't mean that there aren't men in the room who are hurting, too. All it means is that half of the women around you have been sexually assaulted. A lot of them will never talk about it. It wasn't until I read Roxane Gay's post yesterday. Instag...
